Yes, my So Meaty post from this morning was an April Fool’s joke. Did I actually food anyone?? And now the internet is playing jokes on me since this post has 20 different fonts/sizes. Boo.
In January I announced that I would make 2010 my Healthiest Year by making a new health related change each month…
In January I did Meatless Mondays and then changed it to Mexican Meatless Mondays!
February I tried to stop eating after dinner.
In March I decided to keep working on my efforts to stop eating after dinner. Hey, it’s a hard habit to break!
My April Challenge is:
Stop eating artificial sweeteners and added sugars
I have a really really bad Diet soda problem right now. Bad as in, last week I bought a 2 liter of Diet Coke and it was gone that same day. Ouch.

So, my April Challenge is to stop eating/drinking artificial sweeteners and also to avoid foods/drinks with added sugar. I am not eliminating all sugar from my diet, but want to make an effort to eat foods with less sugar.
Now that I can’t have Diet Coke what will I drink? Water, Coffee or Tea with some seltzer thrown in for good measure 
Celestial Seasonings sent me a package of tea just in time for my new challenge! So far the Mandarin Orange one is my favorite.
The company has offered to send a RER reader a great Natural Wellness kit too!

In other news, my protein shake this morning was delicious, but left me wanting more. So, I made a packet of multi-grain cereal and it hit the spot!
Mid-morning I ate an orange (no pic because my hands were sticky from said orange).
And lunch was mas huevos! What is my deal with eggs these last two days?
I made a massive salad with spinach, mushrooms, carrots, hummus, chickpeas and a hard-boiled egg with S&P. So good.
I had a mix of crackers and rice crisps on the side too 
Happy Thursday!!!

Obesity is the major problem of this generation. As per the report, the world had a number of 6.5 billion obese people in 2006. The medical expert says, over 155 million kids in the world are obese.

Obesity is a preventable issue, if we cooperate with certain diet plans and adapt the habit of doing exercise. Here are few tips to reduce your body weight effectively.
Sugar–the regular kind–is my downfall! I have been trying to be conscious of my intake, but it’s difficult since I’m also determined not rely on artificial sweeteners. Oh, the fine line between non-deprivation and non-overindulgence…
