Happy & Healthy New Year

I hope everyone had a fantastic new year's! Like half of the population, I'm starting my "diet" & fitness plan tomorrow. I like to think of it less as dieting and more as making healthy eating lifestyle choices. Moving to Wisconsin has been such a wonderful experience, but all those cheese curds and frozen custards are no help to a petite girl!

One of my new year's resolutions is to cook more; these are some of the tasty & healthy recipes that I'm excited to try out whether you're craving breakfast, dinner, or something sweet!

L-R (clockwise): Pineapple Zucchini Cupcakes via Skinny Taste, Crock Pot Enchilada Soup via Skinny Taste, Coconut Chicken Salad w/ Honey Mustard Vinaigrette via Skinny Taste, Veggie Noodles via Kitchen Confidante,  Spinach & Egg Quiche via Under 400 Tumblr, Oriental Chicken Salad via Babble, Slow Cooker Pork Tacos via Food Network, Fruit Crepes via Under 400 Tumblr

Spending most of my life as a dancer, I get tired of the same old gym routines. I need to work out with a friend to stay motivated or try an alternative workout class. I'm a big fan of hula hoop aerobics that my gym offers, my little sister is also becoming a Zumba teacher which is too much fun! I've also signed up @ Self Magazine to track my food & exercise.

I love this simplified healthy lifestyle plan via a pair & a spare


This blog is also full of great healthy inspiration & motivation:

Is anyone else starting or continuing a journey to a healthy lifestyle? Share your favorite food & exercise blogs or tips or even workout playlists, I'd love to support eachother!

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy & stylish new year!
