Another health post has come to my mind after splurging this weekend on cheescake, sugar cookies and coconut cupcakes (thank you Cjane).
Normally i follow these rules and i tend to get right back on the wagon...starting tomorrow.
1- actually measure out the right serving size of cereal and eat just that for breakfast. (its usually 1/2 cup). You will me amazed how about 6 frosted mini wheats is all you should eat. i could eat 6 bowls of cereal! serving sizes are for a reason, so try and follow them.
2- Instead of eating treats/sugar after every meal (like i used to do), eat sugar free jello with a spoonfull of fat free whipped cream on top...or just pop in a piece of sugar free gum. If you are chewing gum all day or sipping on water, you burn more calories keeping your mouth busy.
3- this one is huge....SKIP buying the junk at the store. If you don't buy it, you won't eat it.
4- Throw spinach or healthy foods into things. Spinach in fruit smoothies, shredded carrots and oatmeal in hamburgers and Zuchinni noodles. Actually taste pretty yummy.
5- always have healthy snacks on hand. Cut up carrots in the fridge, almonds in a jar, fruit salad in some tupperware, and always have the pitcher filled with water.
Hope these tips help you start your week off right! 
and just a snapshot of the reg-ster and me for the road.

I'm Brits friend/cool neighbor. You are as cute as it gets! I love your healthy tips, i've been smoothy-ing with spinach and its great. I had our 2nd baby on monday and your tips couldnt have come at a better time. I just want to print themoff and post them on my fridge!
I LOVE HEALTHY TIPS! I was so proud of myself last month for not eating sugar at all (except twice I cheated)
One of your tips was don't buy any junk food. We follow that rule! But somehow we ALWAYS end up with snacking opportunities. It's so frusterating.
Brit,
I am a total stranger but you have a cool website and it is obvious you are thinking health for your family. My family has learned about a healthful sugar that everyone would use if they only knew. It is called trehalose and has a really clean taste and can be used everywhere regular table sugar is used. I have posted science and medical papers on our blog at www.endowmentmed.org
