Holiday Spirit & Exercise

Excuses, Excuses. It is so easy to make an excuse to NOT work out or to eat badly. There are so many instances where we just don't realize what we do to the insides of our bodies when we make the wrong choices. As adults most of us drink alcohol which is basically poison, we eat tons of sugar and carbohydrates, we don't worry about transfats, we are sleep deprived, rushed and stressed out. Then we look in the mirror and wonder why we have cellulite, belly fat, can't fit in our jeans, shirts are too tight.... we actually wonder why?

We need to have balance! Not just exercise or a diet but BALANCE. To be healthy is to balance our diets, exercise and mind... (mind, body, spirit)!
We need our "beauty" sleep, some breathing time, daily exercise and we need to find a way to make healthy eating choices.

Just little changes in our daily routines can add up to some major body changes!
Taking a few extra minutes in the morning to sit in silence and take a deep breath can change your outlook on the whole day, eating less snacks high in sugar will keep you from having that tired low later in the day, exercise will help increase your energy, keep your heart healthy, burn fat and put you in a better mood.
These are just a few benefits of being balanced.

So STOP the excuses. Make better choices and make the time to take care of YOU!
