I started this blog 5 months ago at the beginning of 2010. I have enjoyed sharing my thoughts on healthy eating and exercise. Sometimes I have a coworker, friend, or even stranger tell me that they read my blog for inspiration. This feedback keeps me writing. This month I reached 1000 readers! Thank you for reading. I hope that I can continue to inspire or at least make you consider what you are putting in your mouth.
Last month I started writing a blog for Mississippi Valley Health News Online at http://qchealthnews.com/. This is a local blog for the Quad Cities and features ideas for eating out healthier.
Here are my top 10 beliefs about healthy lifestyles:
1. All foods can fit in a healthy diet.
2. Use your common sense when it comes to changing the way you eat.
3. Healthy foods can and do taste good!
4. Exercising and healthy eating go hand in hand. When you exercise you want to eat healthy and vice versa.
5. Healthy eating and exercising should be a family affair.
6. Eat plant foods and lots of ‘em.
7. When you exercise, do what makes you smile.
8. A positive attitude is the first step towards a healthy lifestyle.
9. Do not be all or nothing…find a happy place in-between.
10. A healthy lifestyle = a higher quality of life.
