Contra Costa Times Marketplace Magazine Article:

 
  January, 2008

January, for me, is a chance to get back on track. My taste buds are easily corrupted over the holidays, to the point where another candy or home-made treat sounds better than some soup and salad. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, my appetite for healthy food is compromised, but I'll eat it anyway, right after I have one more goodie! 
  
So, with the new year comes new resolve. I was encouraged to read that it's easier to start a new habit than to break an old one. So let's say I'm not going to stop eating junk. I'm going to start eating healthy! Again. Like I do every January. Because if I don't, I start paying for the bad eating habits from over the holidays, and it's not a pretty sight.
 
Now don't get discouraged in the new year, if you suddenly deprive yourself of the foods you were eating, but don't lose any of the weight you may have gained. I've become convinced, over the years, that our bodies are a bit like bank accounts, and if you keep them balanced, you shouldn't have to worry. I've often found that I "get the bill" in January, for all the holiday splurging, even if I've resumed a healthy routine. But I stick with that routine, and my body eventually realizes it's back on course.
 
So stick with your resolutions in '08; reeducate those taste buds, regain health and balance. Healthy New Year to all!

Verse of the Month
"He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life." 
(REVELATION 21:5-6  NIV)
