Guess what. In about 2 weeks I'll have a birthday that brings me closer to 40. While I still have about 1 year and some months before I turn 40, knowing that big number is coming has me thinking about my current health & fitness state. A health and fitness state that needs some attention.
Somewhere along the line I became a busy mom. A mom to busy to eat healthy, get enough exercise and full 8 hours of sleep. Sadly this mean I'm opening the door for nutrition-related problems like diabetes or heart disease, the leading killer of women over the age of 25 in the United States. Oh no!
Now, I need to start taking charge of my health and fitness before problems start! One of the simplest ways I can get started is by returning to a healthy eating routine.
I'm excited to share that a few months ago I became a Quaker Insiders and received a Quaker Innovations Gift Box filled with 7 new products including
- Quaker Chocolate Chip Instant Oatmeal
- Quaker Whole Hearts Oat Cereal
- Quaker Oatmeal Squares Crunchy Oat Cereal
- Quaker Banana Nut Bread Soft Baked Bars
- Quaker Stila Bars and Oat Cluster Bits
- Quaker Yogurt Granola Bars
- Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies
I started my morning with the Quaker Whole Hearts cereal. The cute and deliciously oat hearts helped remind me I was starting my day with a heart-healthy choice.
During the day when I needed a snack I chose either the Quaker Soft Baked Bars - Banana Nut Bread, which has real bananas and almonds, or the Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies - Raisins both of which are yummy PLUS good for me.
It felt good that I was making simple but healthy changes in my routine, while enjoying the items in Quaker Innovations Gift Box . Yes it helped that all the items tasted delicious. Just goes to show that eating healthy doesn't have to be difficult or tasteless. As my birthday get closer I feel better that I've started this first health change to my lifestyle.
What about you? Do you also feel its time to start making a simple healthy change to your routine? Great!
