2012 is just around the corner!!

It's about that time of year that we all start thinking about our New Year's resolutions.  How many of us have actually followed through our resolutions all year, rather than the first couple months?  What if each month was different?  Why not try these healthy habits; each is new and different every month!  

January: Eat More Fruits and Vegetables—Add 3 more servings of fruits and vegetables to your diet each day. 

Feb: Get Moving—Increase the amount of aerobic exercise you do. 

March: Get Cooking—Cook at least 3 meals more per week than you are now, even if that means cooking breakfast or lunch (for freezing, maybe).

April: Go For More Grains—Add 3 servings of whole grains per day.

May: Eat Breakfast Daily—Eat a healthy breakfast every day. 

June: Get Stronger—Add strength training to your fitness regimen: at least 2 sessions per week.

July: Focus on Healthy Fats—Swap unhealthy fats for healthy fats in your diet.

August: Go Vegetarian at Least 1 Day a Week—Expand the number of all-vegetable dishes that you eat by making 1 dinner or main-meal-of-the-day vegetarian.

September: Eat More Fish—Cook fish or seafood for dinner 2 times a week.

October: Ease Up on Salt—Cut back on salt/sodium and increase your sodium awareness.

November: Be Portion Aware—Cut your portion size of less-healthy or higher-calorie foods at least once per meal.

December: Eat Mindfully, Be Thankful—Learn two ways—in this busy season and throughout the year—to find joy in food and to share that joy with others.
