Health one bite at a time
Would you like to eat healthier?
Every year, every month or every time that we overeat and feel bad after it we make a resolution to eat healthier. But how often do we keep that promise?
Sometimes we stick to a healthy plan until the next big family event. Or maybe until a party with delicious and diabolically tempting food. Or maybe until the next stressful day (and we have plenty of those.)
An easy and obviously important goal like healthy eating sometimes seems unrealistic to achieve.
At the beginning of the year I ran an annual BalanceInMe survey to see how balanced all of us are and the results are in.
The majority of the BalanceInMe community has trouble staying healthy and the results haven’t changed much from last year (if anything, in 2011 the number of those who couldn’t keep their health in balance increased by 3%.)
Isn’t it time to change this vicious cycle?
I invite you to join a Healthy Eating Challenge (it’s absolutely free.)
When it comes to improving health it’s best to start one step at a time and nutrition is the foremost and most vital step. Our bodies need balanced and high quality fuel to produce the energy that will help us deal with everyday tasks and stress, find power for exercise and keep all our vital systems humming in harmony.
Eating healthy should be the most natural and easiest thing to do but in reality it’s quite the opposite. If you’ve tried to eat healthy before but didn’t succeed then you are not alone.
Healthy eating is hard today.
Our society and our lifestyles make healthy eating difficult. Let’s look at just a few factors.
What challenges do you face when it comes to healthy eating?
Whether you are trying to eat healthier or you have accomplished this goal already and want to share your knowledge and experience with others, I invite you to join the 1 Month of Healthy Eating Challenge.
No matter how busy or laid back our lifestyles are we can all take a little bit of time for ourselves and do something nice for our bodies – nourish them with love, care and budget-friendly healthy meals.
In order to make this month a success we all need to set specific goals that we will be working towards. This week please think of the goals that you would like to reach (lose weight, lower cholesterol, cut back on grocery bills etc.) and share your goals in the comments.
- Every week I will post one article that will focus on a healthy eating concept.
- Every few days I will post healthy recipes that I fix during the week and I would love for you to share yours (a lot of recipe sharing will be going on on )
- Every week I will answer your questions about healthy eating (please start asking them in the comments and start each question with QUESTION: so that I can easily spot them.)
- We will commit to supporting each other and keeping each other accountable in the comments, on Facebook or in any other way.
I know that we all need a little bit of time to get mentally prepared for a challenge (or finish a bucket of ice-cream in the freezer that might be too much of a temptation during the challenge, LOL.)
We will start the challenge in 1 week, on January 27th. Please mark this day on your calendar.
Joining us is easy.
See you on January 27th here on BalanceInMe.
Keep it balanced!
