Is your new year’s resolution, to eat healthier and live a better
lifestyle for 2014? Well I have a great suggestion for you all, Balance Bars,
great low calorie bars that you will love. Here is a little more information
about Balance bars from the website:
Founded in 1992, Balance Bar, one of America’s original nutrition/energy bars, inspires consumers to lead active, well-rounded and balanced lives by providing great-tasting, healthy and convenient nutrition for lasting energy. Balance Bars are available in eight unique product lines (Original, Gold, Dark, Bare, CafĂ©, CarbWell, nimble and mini) and all 28 flavors are based on the 40/30/30 nutrition model – a proven formula developed by scientists to help stabilize blood sugar levels that represents the caloric ratio the body needs to enjoy lasting balanced energy and satisfy hunger for longer; 40% of total calories from carbs, 30% from quality protein and 30% from dietary fat.

right choices for their health, wellness and overall happiness in 2014 with its
Balance Bar® Pledge, an anti-resolutions
pledge that encourages people to skip the tradition of setting overly ambitious
and sometimes unachievable goals and instead make one small step each
month.
Ready to join us in our 2014 anti-resolutions pledge? Get started
on making 2014 your best year yet by taking the Balance
Bar® Pledge and mark your calendar for our #NewYearBalance Twitter
party on January 9.
A Year Full of Tips for
Loving Life and Living to the Fullest
JANUARY - Make an “intention” board to stay
motivated. "Intentions" (rather than “resolutions”) allow you a
little leniency while still holding a basic structure that helps to keep you on
track to achieve your goals. Create an intention board of images and words cut
from magazines that illustrate the energy behind your
goals/intentions/resolutions for the year. For the tech savvy out there, go
ahead and make it on Pinterest!
FEBRUARY - Don’t let old habits derail you. It’s time to start paying attention to your old habits and the little things that derail your progress on eating healthy in 2014. If you’re having a bad day and you usually turn to sweets to make yourself feel better, take a step back and realize how you’re handling the situation. Instead of doing something counter-productive to your goals like overeating, do something good for you like going on a brisk 20 minute walk or calling a friend to catch up.
MARCH -Exercise to minimize your stress level. When you exercise, your blood starts pumping faster through your veins, you take deeper, more cleansing and detoxifying breaths, and your brain releases endorphins- your body’s natural “feel good” chemicals. Not only are you achieving a goal by exercising, but you’re also making yourself feel better!
APRIL -Spring clean your life. Take a look at your life and see what needs cleaning! In a bad relationship or friendship? Be honest to yourself and the other person, and end the relationship. Feeling tired and drained? Look at the activities in your days and revitalize them – drink more water, change up your breakfast commit to healthy afternoon snacks like a Balance Bar® and get outside a for a few minutes each day. Don’t just clean your house or office this spring, but clean up your life too.
MAY - Surround yourself with motivating people. Nothing is more of a “downer” than wanting and trying to better yourself but seeking encouragement, motivation or advice from people who say "you can't." Find the "You CANs" and do what they do!
JUNE -Better your life by making some changes. Make a list of everything that makes you uncomfortable or annoyed like spending too much time on shopping, going out too much, not exercising, etc. Decide on a short, daily action that you can take that is exactly the opposite. You’ll make yourself feel better and make life less stressful.
JULY -Find your passion and start living it. Ask anyone who seems to be happy at work and they will say "I LOVE what I do!" They are passionate, enthusiastic and they have energy from living their dreams. Don't wake up 10 years from now wondering what happened to your life … start living TODAY! Try a new hobby, sign up for a new class at the gym or take a cooking class.
AUGUST -Take care of your BODY. It's the only one you've got. Move your body in a way that helps it feel good. Anything you can do to get your heart rate up releases chemicals that just plain make you feel better. And don’t forget to feed your body the right fuel (like with a Balance Bar®!) Otherwise, no matter how much exercise you do, you will always feel drained.
SEPTEMBER -Build your self-esteem every day. Self-esteem is essential when it comes to your self-image, how you’re perceived and ultimately how you treat yourself. If you’re down in the dumps about yourself, do something to make you feel happy, healthy and beautiful! Identify one thing to do each day like exercise, volunteer, open the door for someone, donate money, etc. and you’ll feel much better.
OCTOBER -MAKE time, don’t find time. We all have busy schedules these days so it’s hard to find time to do what we want. Rather than wait for the perfect moment to exercise or for a relaxing quiet moment, make the moment! Wake up an hour early to hit the gym or go into the office early to get your work done so you can enjoy an extra 20 minutes outside at lunch.
NOVEMBER -Get a full 8 hours. As a culture, Americans shortchange ourselves on sleep. But not getting enough sleep doesn’t just leave you tired, it takes a toll on your skin, your stress levels and overall well-being. Shut the computer down and commit to getting at least 8 solid hours a night. Then start your day with a balanced meal like Balance Bar® and a cup of Greek yogurt with fruit.
DECEMBER -Create a fitness bank. Every time you don't want to work out, but do anyway, give yourself $1. Once it adds up, treat yourself to something nice like a new coat or even a nice dinner out with friends. Your hard work and motivation will benefit you in the long run in more ways than one!

I know what you may think, you may have tried healthy bars in the past and they
are tasteless… or they just are terrible.. Well Balance Bars are here to help,
they are nothing like bars you have had in the past. I just adore the bars,
they remind me of delicious candy bars, they seem too good to be true! If I had
to choose a favorite I would have to choose the Chocolate Mint Cookie
Crunch bar, because who does not love minty chocolaty goodness? Well I sure do,
and this bar realty has a mint chocolate flavor. The calendar will be great to keep track of my
2014 events. The Yurbuds will be great for my workout sessions, listing to
music for me really keeps me going and motivated to keep up my movements and my
resolutions. So if you are looking to
eat healthier in 2014 I would highly suggest Balance Bars you will surely love
them as much as I love them.
