We're starting this blog as a way to help people participate in the American Cancer Society Eat Right Challenge in August. Hopefully through this blog we'll be able to educate, inspire and encourage other people to take on the challenge, too.
I don't know about you, but my eating habits definitely need a fix-up. With so many programs, it's hard to know what to do - Atkins diet, South Beach Diet, Weight Watchers. How do you know what the best program is? One day you're eating a low-carb diet and the next you're eating a low-fat diet.
I've decided the best thing for me to do first is to watch my portion sizes. Using the American Cancer Society Great American Eat Right website I can get quick information on how large my serving sizes should be. It also has some helpful tips, too.
I'll keep you update on how my task is going... Wish me luck!

The American Cancer Society is gearing up for another Great American Eat Right Challenge, a challenge meant to encourage people to start making healthier lifestyle choices. Working with the organization last summer, I took on the Eat Right Challenge and throughout the year I've shared my experiences, struggles and stories. With the help from ACS, I'll be embarking on the Eat Right Challenge again, and encourage you to do the same! Post your own comments and let me know how it's going for you.

- Writing is my passion so I wanted to take this opportunity to share my experiences with you. I've always had an interest in fitness and health, so this was perfect! My background is in media and political science, and I recently graduated from the University of South Dakota. This fall I will be starting my masters in Public Administration and Public Health to find ways to keep encouraging people to improve their health and change their lives.
