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!
You can email us at strive2survive@brownclinic.org, email us through the contact link on our blog, or call us at 884-4226.

Hopefully you all had a great Christmas! The weater was great, and we got to spend some of the time outside enjoying the weather. We spent part of it in Huron seeing Grandma and Grandpa Folk. Then after we got done eating, it was so nice out we all went out for about a 2 mile walk. I don’t remember the last Christmas we went out as a family for a walk!
Here we are getting ready to go. Just waiting for Nick and Grandpa, who were out riding a 4 wheeler. Some kids never grow up! Hope everybody’s holidays were fun, and that you all got to spend time with your family. Enjoy! Stay active!

Went out with Buddy this AM for a walk. We got some snow last night, but with the upcoming temps, I don’t think it will last long. Buddy was in the holiday spirit, and was fired up to go walking.
From Buddy and I, we say to you all: Hope your holidays are filled with good times, family time, and just time to do things for yourselves. Stay healthy. Stay active. Have fun. Whatever your faith, or your beliefs this time of year, it is a time for family. Spend it well with them, and do it however you chose to do. Happy Winter Solstice! Merry Christmas! Take care for now!

A view of the bike trail this far into December. It was absolutely gorgeous outside today…high 40’s. I went for a walk with Sarah and Buddy, 4 miles, and then decided it was too nice to be done yet, so I went another 2 miles. I am loving this weather! There were quite a few people out today taking advantage of this spring time winter weather.
This couple was out enjoying the day as well. Take advantage of it NOW! I can’t believe it has been going this long. Don’t waste it. The snow will be coming, and we can still be outside, but it will limit what type of activities we can do, and where. The bike trail won’t be this readily usable. Hope everybody had a good weekend. Get ready for the upcoming holidays…a time to spend with your family.
