This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Jimmy Dean, however the opinions and feelings expressed here are my own.
Recently I was asked if I would be interested in participating in the Jimmy Dean “Better Breakfast, Better You” Program. I did a little research and jumped at the chance because with the New Year right around the corner, I, like so many others will make a resolution to better my health and even more importantly my eating habits. What better ways to jump start my year than to find meals that are healthy and will help me stay on track and to practice a more active lifestyle?
We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day and by choosing to eat Jimmy Dean D-Lights meals in the morning, I know I am getting plenty of protein. They are the perfect meal to get me going before I head to the gym every day. Jimmy Dean D-Lights consists of six different breakfast options. Turkey Sausage Croissants, Turkey Sausage Whole Grain Bagel, Turkey Sausage Breakfast Bowl, Turkey Bacon Breakfast Bowl, Canadian Bacon Honey Wheat Muffin and Turkey Sausage Muffins. All of these options offer good low fat sources of protein. Choosing to eat healthy in the mornings will be the motivation I need to continue throughout the day and keep with my goal to stay healthy in the New Year.
For me, managing my fitness comes harder than the eating healthy part of the equation. This New Year I am hoping to make a commitment to spend more time in the gym and staying active in my everyday life. I have spent the past three years trying to turn some of my body fat in to muscle. I am hoping that the extra amount of protein I am adding to my diet will also assist in this process. I look forward to sticking with my goals and living a better, healthier, more active life in the year to come. I challenge you to “Better Breakfast, Better You” too!

I know a better breakfast can make a better day for me...I usually ditch it all together or eat so late that it messes up my eating schedule and metabolism. To better help this, I need to eat MORE throughout the day, Healthy foods...starting with breakfast. I know the "starve" is not good and the whole DIET thing I am SO tired of. With kids in school I don't worry about feeding myself "normal" anymore until dinner. I'd like to get to a point this year that I can be on track, eat like a normal woman again...where food is just FOOD and not an enemy, enjoy it and let be a tool to improve my rotten health. After that, I can work on getting my MOVE on again and stop being a couch slouch. Having chronic illness doesn't mean you should stop working on yourself just because you have been "dealt" a rotten hand...it means you have to work harder and better at keeping healthy!
Hope I can put these better choices into ACTION!
thanks!

I got myself a Wii Fit Plus. After being a slug for quite, I think it's a great way to get motivated. Nothing like having a little Mii tell me that I'm overweight. Been watching myself get closer to my goal.

I'm going to learn how to take care of me, which means prepare a healthy breakfast every morning, not just think about it. Just do it!!
I plan to buy more fresh produce and cook healthier meals this year! My family deserves it!
I've been spending way too much at work and not enough time at home with my kids. I'm making it a priority to change that this year!
I just turned 42 and my body is proving it isn't as young as it used to be. I need to keep moving, especially since my job is very sedentary. We have a gym on property that is free to use and I've made a commitment to get there at least once a week (starting small!)

After years of resolving to simply eat less to try to lose weight (and never being successful), this year I changed my resolution to add to my diet; specifically more fiber. I know I don’t get enough fiber in my diet, so I’m adding high fiber foods to each meal. It is much easier to keep this resolution, and I actually do feel better physically.

I have a real dilemma--because I think that the single thing I could do to improve my health/better myself this year would be to spend less time on the computer. Obviously, if I'm not on the computer, I can't read these great posts and I wouldn't have the opportunity to win from BlogHer. The pull is strong, but I'm still hopeful. Maybe when the weather gets better, I'll start walking more. Thanks for the giveaway.

I LOVE Jimmy Dean! YUM!! *slurps*
I'm trying so hard to lose this after-baby weight... shes 8 mo old and I've lost 15 lbs and I have 15 more to go! its a daily struggle to make healthy choices and be active. Hard to make enough time in the day, to take care of the baby and get my other little one to (and from) school, plus take care of myself, 2 dogs, the husband the house, but somehow I manage. (Moms do it everyday, but noone tells you how HARD it is! one was easy, two kids, totally diff! Lordy if I had more! ) Lord, grant me the serenity to not freak out over every little tiny mess. My resolution is to lose this weight!~
I am eating healthier and trying hard! .. Wish me luck!!! :)
