We hope you all had a very nice Christmas! I enjoyed my week off by spending it with family, relaxing, and doing some cooking and baking. Holidays are always such a fun time of the year! I included a picture of one of my favorite goodies I made: peanut butter kiss cookies. I unfortunately got the flu earlier in the week along with half of my family, which made it easier for us to not over-indulge with all these goodies.
As we look to the New Year this weekend, we are reminded of resolutions. Some people set resolutions to get back on track with life or their goals, but often times they are short lived. One of our main goals with STRIVE2Survive is to encourage LIFELONG wellness, not just a quick fix! Our winter STRIVE2Survive session will be starting next Tuesday, January 3rd. We meet 6 out of the 12 weeks (see calendar under the info tab for dates) and the other 6 weeks you get a take home lesson that can be mailed or emailed to you, thus each week out of the 12 weeks you will get a lesson on exercise and nutrition. Our program is really focused on achieving a healthy weight while preventing disease, thus we also incorporate body composition testing and lab work at the beginning and end of the program. If you are looking to improve your health and wellness in 2012, contact us today for more details!
