Now that the holiday season has ended it's time to re-evaluate your life. After all, this is the first day of the rest of your life!!
Most of you have made some resolutions about your health, fitness and lifestyle. These are not only resolutions, but goals. These resolutions or goals must be reasonable and attainable. So take a minute to think about them and if you need to make some changes do it now! If you feel you can make them work go for it.
As you move forward with these goals plan some rewards which will help you keep your focus. These rewards can be in any form; new clothes, a massage, vacation or even a "new me" party!
Take a moment and think about what might prohibit you from reaching your goals. Be ready for possible problems which may interfere with your progress, but keep moving forward. Recognize it's easy to give up; but those obstacles which will pop up now and then can also be jumped over and a stronger you will emerge. DO NOT LET YOURSELF SLIDE INTO A NEGATIVE PATTERN!

A Fit and Healthy Thanksgiving
Everyone associates Thanksgiving with food and family. This year make it a healthy holiday! There is no reason to over stuff yourself and then just sit and watch football or continue to snack after dinner is over. You do not have to deprive yourself of all the goodies served if you follow these simple tips.
1. Eat a healthy breakfast. Oatmeal with blueberries (fresh or frozen), almonds, Agave Syrup (if you need a sweetener), skim milk and coffee or tea.
2. Take a walk, get your body moving!
3. If dinner will be late in the day, be sure to eat a light lunch. Do not starve yourself waiting for dinner. Keep your metabolism burning.
4. Use a smaller plate at dinner. A salad plate holds less than a dinner plate and you will be less likely to overeat.
5. Do not let your foods touch on your plate. Smaller portions allow you to enjoy a bit of everything without overeating.
6. Quarter the pieces of pie and don't pile whipped cream on top!
7. Limit yourself to two glasses of wine at dinner.
8. Drink water. It will help fill you up.
9. Take another walk after dinner. Get your family members or friends moving instead of just sitting on the sofa. You can still talk, enjoy each other and the holiday while your work off that holiday dinner!!
