U.S. News – Students to see healthier school lunches under new USDA rules.

Getting kids to exercise even a little can be a mountain of a challenge for some parents.  Kids are so “plugged in” to tear them away from a screen is like tearing hair out of their heads – it’s like … Continue reading

New Approach to this Blogging Thing

I’ve decided to take a new approach to my sad little blog here.  Anyone who reads it knows that I’m not very good at keeping up new posts and I think it’s because I try to figure out what people want to know about, so I end up writing about topics that don’t interest ME very much and I have a hard time following through.   So, I’ve decided to take on a new approach and I’m going to start blogging about what’s going on with me – nutrition related, of course!

I have a new baby (four and a half months now), we’ll call her SP (Sweet Pea, Sweetie Pie, Stinky Pants…take your pick).  Feeding SP is a blog all in itself.   Also, my family has also just implemented a new budget and we are learning how to stretch our food dollar more than ever before!  So, there will be lots of budget-friendly tips and recipes!  Then there’s feeding myself and my husband.  For me losing my baby weight, running and beginning training for another half marathon while working full time and being a mom will all be nutrition and fitness challenges that I’ll need to face.  As for my darling husband (we’ll call him B), one might think that having a dietitian for a wife automatically makes you the perfect specimen of health – I wish.  Every once in a while we’ll discuss my efforts to get him on my bandwagon!  So, stick with me and invite others to join you.  It’s my New Year’s Resolution to pick up the pace, get on board with this blogging thing and bring need-to-know nutrition information to the masses (I’m thinking positive here)!

I apologize now for my sentence structure and grammatical errors – that’s next year’s resolution!
