Every year for the last 4 years I have had LOSE WEIGHT on my list of Goals when New Years comes. And every year for the last four years I have failed miserably – in fact gaining weight. This year is my year. I am ready and determined to eat better, exercise more, and set small goals that I can reach and continue setting bigger and bigger ones. One of those goals is eating (and drinking) more healthy – which means cutting out a LOT of what I was eating and replacing it with a LOT of fruits and veggies and more nutritious items. (Why can’t a doughnut be a healthy breakfast? 🙁 ). So I went on a shopping trip at Target and found two things that are going to make my life a lot easier and give me morning energy – BelVita Bites – Mini Breakfast Biscuits and V8 Veggie Blends Drinks.

Another of my 5 goals this year was to wake up early (it is killing me, lol, but I am doing it). This means I need extra energy in the morning to take care of my kids and get my workout in before I start on my list of 5,978 things to do every day. (you think I am kidding? 😉 ). Eating a nutritious breakfast is a morning win for me, so I am making an active effort to eat them every day as well as have a vegetable juice drink.

V8 Veggies Blends and BelVita Bites – Mini Breakfast Biscuits are a big part of that. They give me energy and nutrients that I need before I workout without weighing me down and it is quick and easy. I was able to pick up this cute workout top and the yoga pants at Target while I was there getting my other items. It was nice being able to pick everything up in one place (anyone who shops with kids, knows what I mean).

My 5 Goals for this year are:

Lose Weight
Exercise every day
Eat a nutritious breakfast, lunch and dinner (and snacks)
Wake up earlier
Spend more quality time with my family

All of these goals are within my reach. I just have to have the determination and will power to see them through. I want to do this. I am ready to change and become a better version of myself. I know I am going to keep these goals this year because I have set realistic baby steps for myself. For each of the goals listed above – I have made a list of ten steps to help me achieve that goal. I take it one day at a time and it has been working great!

Having delicious beverages like V8 Veggie Blends are way better for me than the soda and “pretend” juice drinks (with like 5% juice) that I have been drinking. I don’t eat near enough veggies – so the V8 Veggie Blends are the perfect addition to my diet. Every 8oz glass has a full serving of vegetables. I love that it is 75% vegetable and fruit juices and 25% water. It is also packed with antioxidant vitamins A, C & E, with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives!

It comes in four delicious blended flavors:

Carrot Mango contains the juices of Carrot and Mango
Purple Power contains the juices of Purple Carrots, Beets and Apple
Healthy Greens contains the juices of Spinach, Yellow Carrots, Apples, and Pineapple
Golden Goodness contains the juices of Yellow Carrots, Sweet Potatoes, Orange Carrots, and Orange

BelVita Bites – Mini Breakfast Biscuits are just as good as the bigger version you are used to. These little bite size biscuits taste so good, and leave me feeling energized. I also love that there is a lot in the bag because it helps me overcome my snacking urges by allowing me to grab a few to tide me over. Both the mixed berry and the chocolate varieties are great.
