Tip of the day to get you on your way…
Day 31: Reward yourself for a month filled with health! Treat yourself to a new pair of walking shoes, a subscription to your favorite health and fitness magazine, or a new low-fat cookbook.
Day 30: Pay attention to portion sizes today and every day!
Day 29: Check your bread label - look for whole wheat flour, cracked wheat, or other whole grains listed first to guarantee a better source of fiber.
Day 28: Call a friend and encourage them to keep their resolutions.
Day 27: Tired of your usual physical activity routine? Try something new - spinning, step aerobics, even jumping rope!
Day 26: Substitute one of your sodas or a cup of coffee with 100% fruit or vegetable juice.
Day 25: Try a bean dish for dinner - bean burritos, three-bean soup - instead of serving meat.
Day 24: Eat one less fried food today. Try sauteing your meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables with low-fat chicken broth or even fruit juice.
Day 23: Make a grocery list and try to stick to it - and avoid going to the grocery store on an empty stomach!
Day 22: Make lunch your largest meal of the day, and eat a smaller dinner in the evening, when you're less likely to burn many calories.
Day 21: Volunteer to mow an elderly neighbor's yard.
Day 20: Kids need exercise, too.
Day 19: Too cold to exercise outside? Instead, go "walk the mall."
Day 18: Double your dinner recipes and freeze the extras for a quick meal later this month.
Day 17: Flavor your coffee with low-fat milk instead of cream.
Day 16: Snack on carrots or another favorite vegetable. Add some zip with a fat-free ranch dressing dip.
Day 15: Dance!
Day 14: Park a little farther away from your office building, the department store, or the library for a nice walk.
Day 13: Split dessert with a friend.
Day 12: Try a new vegetable at lunch.
Day 11: Choose whole wheat pasta instead of regular pasta.
Day 10: Drink more water.
Day 9: Play with your children.
Day 8: Do sit ups or leg lifts while you're watching TV.
Day 7: Boost your calcium instake by eating an extra serving of low-fat dairy foods - milk, yogurt, and cheese.
Day 6: Used to eggs for breakfast? Try some steamy oatmeal - and add raisins for a fiber boost.
Day 5: Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
Day 4: Walk around the block after dinner.
Day 3: Read a food label – look for 3 grams of fat or less for every 100 calories in a serving to see if the food is low fat.
Day 2: Write down your health related goals and keep a journal to monitor your progress.
Day 1: Serve up some healthy football bowl game snack: make dips with low fat sour cream and add some color with fruits and vegetables.  |
