Healthy Holidays!
It's that time of year again...spending time with the family, enjoying the season change (with the exception of San Diego :) and holiday treats.....yum. It's my favorite time of year!
There is definitely a way to enjoy without over indulging.
How???
Here are my quick tips to a healthy holiday season:
1. Office treats: Thank everyone for their lovely offerings at the office-but stick to your guns. If you are doing well in your everyday diet, enjoying a small portion or sharing with a co-worker is okay. Just remember that time spent on "treats" has to translate into time spent at the studio...so you can sweat it off!
2. Kindly accept candy canes and other holiday treats, but pass them to others or use as present decor. Nothing says, "Merry Christmas" more than a gift decorated with a lovely candy cane!
3. This one applies ALL year long: Pack your lunches. You are less inclined to cheat on your healthy diet if you have a nutritious lunch pre-packed. (Insert excuse here) "But I don't have time"...Here's what I say to that: If it's REALLY important, you will make the time. Period.
4. A jump rope is one of the best, easiest, cheapest methods to getting high cardio each day. If you have a place to use it, take a few minutes of your lunch break to jump. Chances are, you will feel more alert after a few minutes of jumping rope. And guess what, there's no sugar crash affect!
5. Share with your family, the gift of a healthy holiday. If everyone pitches in for Thanksgiving, have everyone bring a healthy version of their dish---less oil, fat, salt, sugar. And if there is that one item that is tradition and MUST be cooked the way it is---have it, but in smaller portions. Or, have the fam play a fun game of "The Deck of Cards Game" (Scroll down for that blog post and the directions on how to incorporate exercise into this old card game) after dinner, rather than falling asleep.
Lastly,
On November 25th Wednesday (The Wednesday before Thanksgiving) my studio MIX is holding our first annual "Gratitude Wednesday". It is our way of giving thanks for our clients, the ability to move and the gift of health. Classes are free all day!

Lesa
"Fit-Ful" is a term created by Lesa which means, the union of fitness and beauty from within (FITness and beautiFUL). Working on fitness to incorporate improved health and self-esteem along with working on internal beauty by developing connections to self image, spirituality of life and society's connection. Beauty from within is much more important than external beauty. How we treat ourselves and others speaks deeper than what clothes we wear.
This is truly beautiful.
Peace and health!
