New Year's Resolutions

For most people, the start of the new year brings a multitude of resolutions - the main one being that of eating better and getting fit. This may have to do with the gluttonous behaviors over the holidays and the resulting shame we inflict upon us. Either way, gym memberships increase as does the foot traffic into the gym. But as the month draws to a close, fewer people frequent the gym and begin to fall back on bad habits until their visits become once a week or stop all together.

For me, I gave up resolutions a long time ago. I just never saw the point. But I certainly understand the drive to eat better and get fit. And I certainly understand the ease to making excuses and not wanting to follow through on them. My main excuse: not having enough time.

A little bit about me: I am an artist, an author, and I work part time (currently while I continue to search for a full time job). Because my part time job doesn't pay my bills, I try and supplement my income through the sale of my art and my writing. This is definitely easier said than done considering that I need to devote a minimum of 40 hours a week for both side jobs. Add to that a punch-the-clock-working-for-someone-else income and there just aren't enough hours in the day. So, my sleep and eating habits are affected, while my exercise is down to zero.

As I'm getting older, I realize I cannot continue to neglect my health (because let's face it, without good health, I wouldn't be able to do the things I love), so i am taking on a spring challenge to get back on track! And in order to keep myself motivated, I have created this blog to hold myself accountable.

As with all things in life, there are no guarantees and I may likely fail in this endeavor. But life is all about the journey!

Tackling Day 1: Working Out With Pets

I have always found that day 1 of any goal is never the hardest. Motivation is at the forefront of our psyche and eating right and exercising are a breeze. Yesterday wasn't that bad. For once, I didn't forget to eat (this is a side effect of being a writer and an artist...when I get "in the zone" of creating, I lose track of time), and I actually scheduled time to work out. I'm still waiting for my P90 workout to arrive in the mail, but I have plenty of workouts videos and I decided to pull out my Karen Voight's Yogasculpt as an easy transition into working out. And I'm happy I chose that one. There is something to be said for yoga realigning your spine and this morning, I actually work up without the usual back pain I have grown accustomed to. Of course, working out with pets can be challenging. It is amazing how they can ignore me for hours on end but the minute I put on a movie, or pull out my yoga mat, they want to play. When I lo...

Recipe! Cinnamon French Toast Breakfast Wrap

Ingredients 1 (34g) Whole-Wheat Tortilla (approx. 100 calories, no added sugar) 1 tablespoon Peanut Butter, all-natural 1/3 medium Banana, diced 2 tablespoons Blueberries 2 Eggs 1 tsp Cinnamon 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract Other optional filling ingredients: Strawberries, diced; Maple Syrup, Nut Butter, Shredded Coconut (unsweetened) Directions Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and prepare it with an all-natural cooking spray or coconut oil. Whisk eggs, cinnamon and vanilla together in a shallow bowl. Dip wrap in shallow bowl, making sure to cover the entire wrap with the egg mixture. There will be leftover egg mixture. Lay the wrap flat on the skillet and cook for about 2-4 minutes on each side. Transfer wrap to a plate and use the same heated skillet (you may need more cooking spray or oil) to cook up the leftover egg mixture, omelet style. Cooking your egg omelet or pancake style makes the egg easier to transfer to your wrap and it also will...

Temptation

temptation [ tem(p)ˈtāSHən ] NOUN a desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise There is nothing stronger than the pull of temptation when you are on a diet. I don't know about you, but when I tell myself I want to eat better, I am usually drawn to the food that I was never interested in before my diet. But somehow...when I know it is "restricted"...that is when I want to eat ten times of it. Many of the struggles I have heard from friends and loved ones when trying to eat healthier, is the availability of the tempting food within their house. Living alone makes this easier for me because I am the one in charge of the grocery shopping. Avoiding the aisles filled with tantalizing delights is a breeze. This makes it even easier to avoid when I am at home, because it just isn't there for me to eat. When I have a craving for sweet or salty goodness, I have only fruit or nuts to choose from. Truth be told, I'm n...
