As I have mentioned before, my life with four girls can lead me to not eat well and sometimes not eat at all.  That is why I have been loving the last two weeks of participating with Better For BlogHer.  Every day I know what I am eating for lunch. I know it will be quick, delicious and healthy.  I don’t have to settle for left over kid’s lunches or forget to eat until dinner time.  I have it in my freezer ready to go.

This has made such a difference in me.  I’ m not as grumpy since I have eaten and I’m not run down because I ate and I ate real food.  We all know that veggies and proteins can be pick me uppers in the late afternoon, and I can really tell.

I have also be drinking more water, less pop (soda in some areas of the US, coke in the south!) and just all around been eating better. I guess you could say that my diet is starting to come into my stream of consciousness more.  I have yet to throw in more physical activity, but give me a bit more time and my four girls in school and I know that will start up again.

A few things about Healthy Choice meals:

*Did you  know you can go 90 days without ever eating the same Healthy Choice meal twice? That right there solves a big mommy problem of food boredom!

*Healthy Choice offers more than just frozen dinners…including ice cream!

*Healthy Choice has a great website to help you start making better and healthier choices.

*Healthy Choice has dramatically reduced packaging and continues to try and find new ways to recycle and decrease packaging in their meals.  I am keeping all of my bowls to use as paint bowls for my Girl Scout troops and for the art teachers at school, the colander part of the Steamers package works great in sandboxes as well!

*You can go here for coupons! Coupons make the world a better place!

(I am am being compensated for my time and recieved my meals for participating in Better For BlogHer with Healthy Choice.  I am really liking the meals though, I promise!

 

Late tonight  I will be on my way to New York City with friends for a busy and fun filled weekend. We are going to BlogHer 2010!

BlogHer 2010 is a conference for bloggers put on by BlogHer. This is my first time attending and as you may tell, I am a bit excited over it!  The BlogHer website is a great one to read blog post by others all around the country, the world really. There are contests (I won $100 a couple months ago) and many thought-provoking posts as well as light-hearted ones to make you laugh. 

The conference offers several different sessions on how to set up and write your blog as well as improveing your content and getting a following.  I am looking forward to these sessions, but I do have to admit that the parties and gatherings is what I am excited about.  On Saturday I get to have breakfast at the Scholastic offices and there is an HP party that should be a lot of fun.  As a participant of Better For BlogHer I will get to meet with the Healthy Choice people and speak with a nutritionist.

Did I mention that we got chosen to drive a new Chevy Traverse to New York?  Yes!  We get a free rental with On-Star use and a navigator (I am a little nervous about driving in downtown NYC) to help us find our way.  We will be tweeting about our trip along the way.

A few days with friends in the big city.  A perfect summer break for mom right before the crazy get ready for school time begins.  Yes, you read me right.  School is starting in a few weeks.  That means buying of the school supplies and making sure my kids have tennis shoes that still fit is about to rock my world.  I’ll take another month of summer please!
