Welcome to 2012! Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Most people vow to lose weight, quit smoking, save money, advance their education or get a better job. I've put together a list that will help you maintain a healthy lifestyle while saving money.

This is it. This is the year. You're going down two jean sizes. Or three! But you're not sure how you're going to be able to control your urges without some kind of diet pills, and you can't imagine how you're going to fit that into your already-tight budget.

Solve both problems (but save that money instead of using it on diet pills!) by being a better grocery shopper. How? Read on.

Have you accomplished all of your 2011 goals?  If you did, Congratulations!  If you haven't gotten around to it, then you have 2012 to accomplish those goals.

For many people, weightloss and health are high on the list for New Year's resolutions.  If you watch the late night infomercials, HSN or QVC specials leading up to New Years Day, it's fitness and weightloss products, one after the other (If you're trying to score a deal on these sort of products, this is the time to do it).

While it's difficult for most people to fight the battle of the bulge, for moms, it almost seems impossible (but it's not, read more to find out how). 

With full time jobs, carpooling kids back and forth, extracurricular activities, errands, packing lunches and cooking dinner, it's almost amazing that we do get a few minutes to squeeze in a bathroom break (and that's sometimes).

Honestly speaking, I'd rather sleep the extra hour to get ready for a new day of spit ups, breastfeeding, carpooling, working full-time, driving and everything else in between (and these are things I do on a daily basis and even sometimes on the weekends).

So for moms, I get it--it's a tough road.  But, it's a tough road with possibilities and if anyone can do it, I know we can (I mean, who would believe that we didn't sleep for the first 2 to 3 months of our baby's life and I really mean, NO sleep).

So I've come up with "The Mommy Diet" (please note that this has NOT been scientifically proven nor tested by myself).

I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving, complete with tons of belly-busting food, drinks and good company. I'm actually still full from last week's feast and I'm sure most of you are feeling my pain. A ten day Master Cleanse sounds pretty good right now, but there are easier ways to get your body back on track. And, you might even have some of the digestive aids in your kitchen.

Here are some cheap and easy ways to get rid of that overstuffed feeling.
