New Year, New Approach

This is my first post for the New Year, and that tells you something. But what? When I disappear it is often because I've gone off the deep end with my eating and I don't want to face my readers. This time, that's not the reason. My workload has tied up most of my time, and let's face it, that takes precedence over blogging. However, I'm here now, and thank all my readers who have contacted me to see that I'm okay.

I'm really more than okay. I've started to exercise regularly again. That always makes me feel better. I've started thinking about my upcoming garden plan and adding a section for herbs. And for my eating...it could have been better over the holidays, but it could have been worse. We chatted about this quite a bit over at the diet forums.

Currently my plan, if you want to call it that, is to limit snacks between meals to fruit. I'm also trying to plan ahead to know what I'll have for breakfast or lunch so I don't grab something on a whim that triggers a binge. Eating healthy is a one day at a time process. Instead of saying I'm doing this for six weeks, I say, "I'm doing this today."

New Diet Forum

While I enjoy the blog format, forums offer a much easier exchange of information. I wanted to take a moment to let you all know about the new diet forum at LoveToKnow Diet. For those who enjoy getting to know people from the ground up, this forum just started and is still small. Last I checked like 40 people there. All kinds of topics too! Everything from eating healthy, to eating for health conditions, fasting, cleanses, detoxes, dieting plans, and the like.

If you're looking for diet tips, ideas, recipes, have a question...it's all there. To get to the forum just click on that bright yellow button with the apple and tape measure that's up in the left hand corner of the page. With the holidays approaching, is there a way NOT to gain weight? Maybe we can talk about it there! What a great way to support one another.

Hope to see some you there.
