For awhile now I’ve used a pedometer to track the steps I take during the day.  It’s definitely a good way to encourage yourself to take the stairs when possible, or to circle the block a second time during your afternoon walk.  They’re a little clunky, though, and depending on where you clip it, I had a tendency to knock it off when I’d walk.

When I saw the new Misfit Shine activity monitor, however, I knew I’d found better than the perfect replacement for my old-school pedometer.  First of all, it’s incredibly sleek and stylish.  It’s made of aircraft-grade aluminum and comes in grey, black, topaz, and champagne.

This post on healthy lunch ideas is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Lean Cuisine, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #HonestlyGood #ad http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO

When you’re trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle one of the biggest roadblocks can be life itself.  It often feels like there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get all the necessities done, let alone anything extra.  Things like the gym or getting a full night’s sleep sort of fall by the wayside.

One of the easiest ways that I’ve found to stay on track is to stock my freezer with frozen meals.  Breakfast and lunch are both frequently a “lite” or healthy entree that I can pop in the microwave.  They’re huge time-savers and you can’t beat the portion and calorie control that a prepackaged meal provides.

I haven’t had a chance to share yet but I’m excited to announce that I am going to be participating in the Nutrisystem Nation Blogger program!  For the next 16 weeks I’ll be following the Nutrisystem Women’s Select Program – and sharing my results with you.  My first 4 weeks of food have arrived, but I’m not officially starting until Monday.

Eating during the holidays can be a challenge, but Nutrisystem has created 10 great tips for surviving the holidays.  You can see them at the bottom of this post.

I’ll kick off my official posting on Monday, and then I’ll be posting an update once a week after that.  If you have any questions about the program, how to get started, the food – whatever! – please leave me a comment and I’d be happy to answer. Continue reading »
