A New Year is nearly here and I’m ready for it! If you’re like me, you are probably thinking about the past year and setting goals for the upcoming year. Hopefully, those goals include getting healthy and staying fit. I have spent the last 3 years on a health journey, developing a lifestyle of healthy living which includes eating healthy, exercising and getting plenty of rest.

A New Year gives us all a chance to start over and go in a new direction. For many, that means eating healthy. But, why wait for the New Year? If you are heading out to a party or if you are throwing a New Year’s party, give yourself healthy choices!

It’s easy to make a fruit tray with toothpicks and your favorite berries, make a simple fruit dip with yogurt. Or, make your own fruit skewers. There are so many ways to create your own healthy choices while still enjoying a great time on New Year’s!

I love holding the get togethers at my own home, that way, I control the food. I am gluten free also, so I love being able to create food choices that I can actually eat. For veggies, create veggie cups with a low fat dip at the bottom and sticks of veggies such as carrots, celery, peppers, etc. Delicious!

Need a low calorie drink? Try adding your favorite berries to sparkling water! It’s cute, festive and fun without the calories.

Start the New Year right now, make healthy choices by creating healthy choices. Here’s to a wonderful and healthy 2016!
