3 Tips to Keep Your New Years Health Goals + Gorton’s Seafood Giveaway #RealisticResolution

New Year and Health Goals seem to always go hand in hand. But by the end of January, many folks have fallen off the band wagon and back into old habits. New Years Health Goals can be hard to stick to. But here’s 3 tips to keep your New Year’s Health Goals and stay on track for a better you in 2015.

1. Go In Smarter

I think one of the biggest problems people have with resolutions regarding their health is that they make a very blanket goal and no game plan to obtain it. For example “I want to be healthy for 2015.” Ok, that’s awesome! But soon we get overwhelmed with life and easily give up on that blanket goal. Is your goal to lose 5 lbs? To tone up? To build muscle? These are more targeted health goals. I recommend digging deeper into a book and online, writing down some small changes you can easily incorporate into your daily life, and sticking to them!

2. Exercise Smarter

Making the time to burn those calories can be a chore! But exercising smarter for 2015 can help you reach your goals! Consider parking further away. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Penciling a designated time everyday. Invest in a fun new DVD set. Find a new exercise to love! There’s lots of ways to exercise smarter this year. Dedication and time are a must!

3. Eat Smarter

Ah, food! We love it and food loves us. But those calories can certainly impede your health goals! Eat smarter in 2015 by reevaluating your proteins! I’ve been looking for ways to incorporate more lean proteins in my daily diet. And with Gorton’s Seafood Simply Baked and Grilled options, you can grab a bunch of nutritious lean protein and Omega-3 fatty acids at mealtime!

Game Day Party Tips. Post sponsored by Fisher Nut Exactly. All fantastic game day opinions are my own.

Game Day Party Tips with Fisher Nut Exactly #FisherNUTEXACTLY

Football season is here! Are you ready to host the Big Game Day Party? TV blaring, game gear on, and crowd cheering, it’s not a Game Day get-together without these 5 essential Game Day Party Tips! Take your get-together from good to amazing get prepared to host the BEST football party of the year! So grab your blow horn and your eye black and tackle your Game Day Party with ease!

1. Organize a Game Plan

A BIG Game Day get together takes planning! Get out that pen and paper and start writing down a menu, shopping list, to-do list and party invites. I love using my to-do list to prep for party day as much in advance as possible! Less to do on party day means more time for you to enjoy the day!

2. Ask for Help

Don’t try to “tackle” the whole party by yourself! Be sure to ask for help hen needed. Hosting a big game day party takes time, effort and lots of hands! I certainly could not host any party without the help of family and friends. Does your family member make the best dish? Can your friends pick up a bag of ice on the way? Is there someone that can watch the kids so you can clean?

3. Set Up Coolers

One of the biggest energy wasters on Game Day Parties is your fridge. Constantly in and out for food, drinks, condiments and more can be taxing on your appliance as well as your energy bill! Set up coolers with designated drinks, ice and even snacks to keep your guests happy and your fridge closed!

4. Have a Kids End Zone

Having kids at your party? Get a great Kids End Zone together to keep those little ones busy! Fill a basket full of activities like coloring books, stickers, bubbles, Play-Doh, sidewalk chalk, and even mini footballs to get kids in the game!

5. Score a Touchdown with Delicious Snacks!

It’s not a Game Day Party without the snacks! Having delicious snacks that are quick to eat and crowd pleasing definitely can make your Game Day Party shine! Fisher Nut Exactly is ready to tackle your Game Day Snack table with new Almond Blueberry Snack Bites! These delicious little burst of flavor are sure to score big points with your party goers.
