I've mentioned many times, in the past, about how this year I was more determined than ever to start eating healthier, exercising more and getting back on the track to better health. I have to admit, that for the past few month, my healthy habits have fallen to the way side. With birthdays left and right, holidays and now Easter, making the right food choices hasn't always been easy.

My tip for a healthy start is my vitamins. Fish oil, and a multi a day keep me full of vim and vigour. Mind you, the bacon and hashbrowns I had for breakfast today, not so much! Time to get back to cereal with almond milk - YUMM!
My tip is to eat more fruits and vegetables. They are are a great way to increase our fibre intake and loaded with Vitamin C which plays a role in our immune system.

After eating a bowl of cereal and fruit for breakfast, I go for my walk either on the treadmill or outside depending on the weather. I always try to get my exercise done in the morning. One less thing to worry about for the rest of the day.
How I started my new healthy lifestyle was to make sure that I was getting at least 25g of fibre a day, eating 2x as many veggies/fruits to meat, getting at least 30 mins a day of exercise and drinking 2L of water a day!
Fibre really made all the difference in keeping me full and preventing cravings!
First good health shouldn't be a fad nor done alone. Gather your family & talk about how health matters & realize change will be challanging but together anything is possible. Together come up with a plan for moving more & eating less junk. Think about going online or to the library to do some recipe reading. Being spring its a good time to think about starting a garden, even a sunny window means fresh herbs. Invest in good cooking tools make it fun by exploring the new lines. Get measuring spoons, cups & a scale to learn what a real serving is (often less than you may think). Take a field trip to the market & discover your inner detective. Start by trying lighter favorite foods, key words less fat, baked, reduced, lower sugar/salt. Tip manufactures can vary greatly read the label before choosing between products. Try to stay natural if you can't pronounce it do you really want to eat it? Try to drink more water (keep a cold pitcher with fruits or sliced cucumber always on hand) save real fruit juices & milk for meals (with kids this can help with the budget). As with anything be flexible & enjoy life, you don't have to give up foods you love moderation & don't mindlessly reach instead really savor the moment.
Being aware of the portions you eat is very important. You can eat most things but just reduce the amount. Exercise minimum 3 times per week for 30min.Smile and laugh reduces stress!
I love to start my day with usually anything but cereal, but sometimes if I have yogurt I will put in some cereal for crunch and a bit of fruit. I must actually remember to eat breakfast because I can get up and go until noon with out eating, that is no good, so I start with something small.
My tip is to not skip breakfast even if you are in a rush. Grabbing a container of yoghurt and a banana(or any other fruit only takes a few seconds) and it gives you the energy to start your day

Good health for me has to be about lifestyle changes. I make sure I take my vitamins every day. I have started working out too daily. I make sure I get fiber and protein in my diet. I have started eating almonds which has made a real difference for me. I am going to be adding flax seeds into my smoothies in the next couple of weeks along with protein and fresh fruit for breakfast.
For a healthy start have some breakfast! Even a piece of fruit or bowl of cereal can give you a better start for your day!

healthy day starts with some deep breathing, stretching, a good breakfast and a walk. I put a bowl of fresh fruit on the counter in the morning for snacking throughout the day. Having veggies already cut up and in the fridge for that quick grab something I need a snack!
