Waiting until January 1st to start your healthy habits?

Stroller Strides is offering great deals for 2008 to get you on your way. Join with a friend and split the registration fee (a savings of $37.50), your first month free and 20% off package prices.

Your best chance for reaching your goals is to combine exercise (Stroller Strides!) and a change in diet. Notice I did not say to diet! You do not have to starve yourself to see results and you can start with small changes...
1. Cut back on processed sugar- if you are craving that sweet taste then eat a clementine!
2. Add one serving of fruit AND one serving of vegetable. Try to make your choices organic- see the previous post!
3. Do not eat chips or junk food. You know when you are giving in and eating "bad" foods. Stay strong and keep your goals in mind. Ask yourself why you want to eat that food. Is it emotional eating or do you really feel hungry. If you really feel hungry make another food choice. Ask yourself if the food choice is really worth it... If you decide YES! Then really enjoy it, sit down and savor your choice and then move on.

If the holidays have caused you to slack off on exercise and nutrition, then turn yourself around. Use the holidays as a way to be more strategic. If you know you are having a family meal on Saturday, plan healthy meals throughout the week! The holidays do not have to be a time of excess everyday, but definitely enjoy the time (and meals) that you have with your family!

Enjoy the holidays everyone and make it a healthy and fun one!
