We tried to go vegan but we didn’t last but three weeks but decided to do away with most red meats. We had a burger today and man is my belly not liking it. Or the two cups of coffee I had.

Red meat is OK for some but I think i will stick to chicken.

Trying to lose weight around the holidays is not easy thing for most of us. We tend to fall short of our goals. We set goals and we break them. We just have to start each day with this saying rejoice and be glad in all things threw Christ. We just have to take it one day at a time. One meal at a time. If we cheat on food it doesn’t make us failures it makes us human.

For me I will start over and say it is a new day.

Good morning, wolk up and was hungry and decided that I would make a breakfast burrito. It is made of spinach and kale patties. Bell peppers and onions then some vegan chicken and topped with cheese. It is very hardy and very tasty .

Eating healthier is not easy, but it is a lifetime of bad habits to change over time. I have found that I just take it one day at a time and always try to rejoice in everything that comes our way.

Good morning, just a little food for thought this morning. When eatting healthier we tend to start out strong then we binge and that is OK, we can’t stop cold turkey. We just have to say it will be a better day tomorrow and continue to be healthier. I know that for my family it is a choice that we made together. My husband and I want to start the new year off by eating better and that takes time . It is something you cannot do over night but over time.

We tried to go vegan,we tried to go plant based and we kept track of what made us feel sluggish after each meal. For us red meats needs to be limited and eat more veggies and fruits and less red meat. That doesn’t mean that cutting out your red meat is for everyone. Just cut the portions in half and see how you feel. Also fried foods can also make you feel sluggish and not as healthy for your heart.

I hope to see your feed back. Thank you and have a blessed day and rejoice for it is a new day.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
