New Year 1/3 Over..Still Holding On

CONGRATULATIONS S. MASON!!!


YOU HAVE WON THE PRIZE PACK!!!

Thanks to keen planning and my dedication I am happy to say that I am holding on to my resolution. It was quite simple. To be more healthy. Eat better. Exercise more. See my doctor. Learn to relax and organize. Honestly, I am doing better at some and not others. But I am a work in progress. Thankfully, Kraft also has us busy families in mind when they are creating products!

Here is what one of my typical days looks like:

8:30am: I’ve dropped the kids off at school and now it’s time for the rest of my crazy day to begin. Go to the gym and feel the burn with my pal Kathy! Rush home and pop open my laptop for the day’s first emails as I enjoy an energy and flavor-packed bowl of peanut butter and oatmeal with PLANTERS new Natural Peanut Butter. This is one of my favorite ways to eat oatmeal now!

1:00pm: It’s way past my lunch time. Between publishing today’s posts and answering emails, I have lost track of time and now I’ve got places to be. Make a sandwich for the road and give my water some flavor and myself a much needed boost with CRYSTAL LIGHT Energy On-The-Go Sticks in new Citrus flavor as I run out the door.

2:50pm: On the way to pick up the kiddos, I treat myself to SNACKWELL’S new Peanut Butter Pretzels or new Cinnamon Crème Drizzled Caramel Popcorn. Love this time of the day!

4:15pm: Got the kids and we are headed to soccer or baseball or softball…and everyone’s looking for a snack. Good thing I grabbed the new KRAFT MILKBITE Milk & Granola Bars from the fridge before I left the house. They have the calcium of an 8 oz. glass of milk. Perfect fuel for sports time!

6:30pm: Where did the day go? It’s already dinnertime. With six new flavors to choose from, add flavor to the weeknight dish/entrée using new KRAFT FRESH TAKE. And it’s easy on me, with 5 minutes of prep time! But save room for dessert and jazz up the kiddos ice cream with new JET-PUFFED Mallow Bits in Vanilla.

9:00pm: What a day! Kids are in bed. Kitchen’s cleaned up. My last Tweets have been sent, last emails answered. Now for a little “me time” – enjoy new JET-PUFFED Mallow Bits in Vanilla atop a warm mug of hot cocoa. Time for rest!

With this type of day…I find having healthy options for snacks is crucial to my survival and for the kids too. I am tired of the same old same old foods. Time to shake it up a bit and Kraft has done a super job of helping me do it! Since they were so generous in sharing their new products with me, they have also allowed me to:

    My New Year’s resolution was actually a life style change. Eating smaller portions, giving up all caffeine, sodas and only drinking water. I’m down almost 20 pounds and two pants sizes. I feel great!!

    some of my resolutions are going good – like the organizing ones and eating at home – but the exercise one is not much happening!
    That Kraft gift pack looks wonderful, I use storage containers for everything.

    wonder if my hubby would like that zebra lunch bag? He takes his lunch everyday and that bag might be a big hit at the garage with all the mechanics 🙂

    My resoulution is a work in progress. My promise to myself was to not waste a day, become self sufficient asap and learn to live and enjoy life and smile. Days are trying. But I finished my cookbook and it is printed. i am waiting on the invoice to payout another almost $400 but 227 copies will be mine to sell. I’ve packed lots of my son and my things to move out of our moldy apartment. And I pray every day to thank the good lord for the patcience I am growing, the blessings we are counting and asking for guidence and energy to keep moving forward. It has been hard and it will be for a while. I think I can do it. But even if I fail…i tried. And I will keep on trying.

    Since I was a young girl, my New Year’s resolution has been about learning something new each year. After my daughter was born, we chose something together every year until she was about 22 or so. As I anticipate the birth of my first grandson next month, my New Year’s resolution this year was to learn about boys! So far, I have read books on male development, insects, and baseball. My husband thinks I’m hilarious but with a girl as an only child, and I too being an only child I have no idea about “snips and snails and puppy dog tails”…..my resolution is going very well!

    Best year ever for keeping my New Years Resolution! My resolution was to cook a meal for at least one other family each week! My friends and especially my older (70+ years) farming neighbors are the happy receiptants.

    I resolved to eat healthy and exercise. I can honestly say, that I am sticking to the resolution a majority of the time! I do fall off the wagon, but the important thing to remember is that I get back on. This is a life change.
