Drink a glass of water before your morning coffee; it will minimize the negative fidgety-buzz that coffee can give you.

Plan on grocery shopping after you work out - Feeling healthy while you shop will help you make wiser food choices!

Go veggie once a week, research shows that eating meatless chili for example opposed to that usual turkey club will cut calories and boosts your cardiovascular health.

Cravings usually last about 10 to 15 minutes so have a “to-do” list handy to occupy this time and remember to drink a big, cold glass of water.

Remember getting healthy is a way of life, take it one day at a time and you will be a success.

Over the next several weeks, I will be blogging on several different sites, talking about stress, exercise and eating well.

I will be blogging on three different blogs over the course of the next week.

OurWickedWeighs.com - Run by Erin and Queenie, it is a website targeted to those people looking to be healthy:

Our Wicked Weighs is not just any old diet blog. We have a multitude of people that are trying many different things in an effort to lose weight and get healthy. Some are losing, some are struggling.

My first post appears here today on Surviving in an Unhealthy Environment - how to eat and move on the go. I will also be talking about Movement v. Exercise and creating a diversified eating plan to make eating a pleasure.

Hesfit.com - part of The Final Sprint (TFS) Network.

TFS Media Network is a web-based publishing group dedicated to providing the highest quality content and interactive technology to support and promote participant-based sports and healthy, active lifestyles.

I will be talking about NEAT v. EAT, motion and exercise, cholesterol, water and improving sleep habits.

DietsinReview.com -

The Diet Column is about all things health and diet related. We bring you the latest diet news, reviews and helpful tips daily.

I will be talking about incorporating portion-controlled meals into your life, achieving optimal health, reaching a healthy weight, using an eating journal and using health coaches.

I encourage everyone to check back as I link to my guest posts - these sites have some great information, and I am excited to be invited to participate with such great sites.

A great way to save money and some calories is to eat a healthy meal at home rather than at a restaurant. Even restaurant’s healthier options can still be high in fats and calories.

Whether you are parking to go shopping at the mall or the grocery store pick a spot further away so you can get some extra walking distance in.

Never use restaurant salad dressing. Instead bring your own; salad spritzers are very convenient, portable and yummy. Use Wish Bone or Paul Newman. If you don’t have your own spritzer ask the waiter to bring you olive oil and vinegar as an alternative.

Just a teaspoon of mayonnaise contains close to 100 calories and 11 grams of fat! Mustard is a much healthier option and adds much more flavor too!
