Fit Tip

I am stating the obvious, but hey, it's that time of year, and if you're like me, you've got a lot on your plate.  Don't forget to REST!  Sleep, rest, and recovery are integral components of your fitness regime.

Until December 25th, take the time to get a 20 minute walk in daily-no phones!  This is your "rest" for the day.  If a full 20 minutes isn't possible, then 10 minutes here and there will work. 
Rest your mind for a bit, breathe in some good air, and re-fuel for the remainder of your hectic day.  You'll feel great, I promise!

Fit Tip

I hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving; ate, drank, and were merry but kept a close watch on their input/output. 
Keep in mind, to burn one pound of body fat, we must burn 3500 more calories than we consume.  If you're trying to loose weight, shoot for maintaining a 500 calorie per day deficit; consume 250 less calories, expend 250 calories each day.  Prioritize what you eat and how you spend your time. Stay focused!  And remember that holiday season is not weight loss season; this is maintenance time.  Helping you keep it all in check!

Fit Tip of the Week

Here I am nagging again, but sometimes it's just the only way!  Now that we've officially reached the holiday season, its more important than ever to keep that Food Diary.  Log each meal, snack, drink and keep track of yow much you're consuming daily.  While you're writing, go ahead and note exercise/activities too. 

Remember to be specific and detail your consumption with vivid descriptions: size, quantity, preparation details are important!
