Working out on Turkey Day

Although you are probably already way deep into your Thanksgiving festivities, I just wanted to throw out a little reminder to try to get a quick workout in.

Even a quick 20 mins will work. Sneak off to the gym or workout to your fav exercise video. Or after your meal, go for a short walk with friends or family before settling into the couch for sports or movies.

Your body will be thankful for any workouts you can do. :)

Have a fantastic Thanksgiving.

Sugar Detox Time is Now

Fall is the time of the year when I hit about a dozen birthday parties and eat all kinds of sugary holiday foods including leftover Halloween candy, various pumpkin flavored treats (latte's, breads, pancakes) and warm baked goods.   The change in weather makes sweet comfort food even more appealing.

Since I am bombarded with so many tasty treats at home, at the grocery store, at the office and/or at my friend's house, it's also the most important time to watch my sugar intake and start the process of detoxing my body of all the excess that sugar.    Sugar can be very addictive.  This article from Time Magazine What you need to know about Sugar provides some important information about sugar and sheds more light on many myths about sugar.

So, don't wait to make this your New Year's resolution, take steps now to curb your sugary snacky habits.  Remember taking care of your health is a life-long commitment so stick to good habits as much as you can throughout the year.

And when you're ready to add a workout to your life-long commitment to health, come see me for a session or two.

Have a great week!
