New Look & Calorie King Giveaway!

I am sorry to my readers for yet again changing my look, but I could not resist. But aren't we all changing our look this new year? Trying to lose the weight we have always wanted to get rid of. Once I found all the sites with new layout options, I was hooked.  I found the photo of this heart and knew it had to be the new Happy Heart logo.  It says so much in a small photo.  We all want a happy healthy heart, don't we?  Who wants to be older on the inside than we actually are?  I want to be here as long as I can and do as much as possible. But to do this we need to work out, keep our stress levels low, and do things that just make us happy. 
Find something which consumes your time in a negative way and I challenge you to give it up. Instead, fill that time with work out routines, eating healthy by preparing your foods for the week, and take up a hobby that you have always wanted to do.  Something that has been on your mind but you just haven't done it yet.
I am no exception and I practice what I preach. My husband and I are getting rid of the TV. Yes, that's what I said. Not physically removing the TV from our home, as we are allowing ourselves movies (dvd's) on the weekends, but canceling the dish and getting a digital antenna instead.  This will allow my husband to complete the football season and watch the Superbowl, plus no monthly bill.  I am giving up all the silly reality TV with the exception of Biggest Loser on Tuesday nights. It's a good show and focuses on healthy thinking. I love to knit and will make more time for that and I am going to read through my bible, cover to cover, this year. I have also decided to do some bible studies on my own. This will improve my thinking in a positive manner, decreasing stress and improving self image. 
In honor of my new look for the new year I am giving away a Calorie King book. Let me know what you think of the changes by leave me a comment.  You have three ways to enter. Enter all three ways and your chance to win increases.

This is the first time I've visited your site. I can assure you that TV is not likely to be missed. I never watch it and don't miss it at all.

We cancelled our cable over 2 years ago and have used a digital antenna since then. Best thing we could have done for ourselves. Its amazing how many more hours you gain in a day when you decrease your TV time.

I think that it is great that you have given up TV. I know that I spend too much time watching TV. I love the Biggest Loser also! Good Luck!

This is my first time to your site, so I can't compare to give an opinion on your changes. It looks good now.

More power to you, re. no tv. We seem to be addicted around here. However, I am one of those who can read, write letters, and do other stuff while watching. (Drives my husband crazy.) I do go to the gym 5 times a week, so I don't feel so bad about the tv though. we also do read alot.
