Food for Thought

Greetings, on this 1st day of December! I know you're all expecting nutrition tips on how to maintain your weight throughout the holidays... so I'll just say "have a plan."
What I'd really like to write to you about is ideas for holiday gifts. Think active! Join Fitness Unlimited (ladies) or renew your membership. How about Wii Fitness or new sneakers? Fashionable athletic gear that you'll want to be seen in can help you stay motivated with your exercise routine.
Keep the kitchen in mind: an indoor grill, reuseable containers (skip the plastic baggies-- they cost too much for the environment), healthy-eating cookbooks or home food delivery service. Being prepared helps you stick with your healthy eating plan.
And how about those gifts that cost next-to-nothing? A walk on the beach with a loved one or a home-cooked meal by the fireplace or windowshopping down main street? Time may be money, but money can't buy time together. |
