I was logging my food intake today and realized that my snacks need to be shaken up! Do you struggle with snacks too? I seem to get stuck in a rut of yogurt or fruit.. boring! Here are a few ideas that came out of my brainstorming session : ) Hope you find one that suits your snack attack : )
1. Laughing Cow Cheese and Kashi TLC crackers (no, I'm not getting paid for endorsements, I just really love these products!!)
2. cottage cheese and canned pineapple (in its own juice)
3. whole wheat pita and red pepper hummos
4. ants on a log (celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins - still as good as when I was 10)
5. tuna fish mixed with honey mustard on high fiber white thin crackers
6. edamame with a little bit of salt
7. fiber one granola bars - awesome when I need a chocolate fix!
8. cheese! Gotta love it and its packed with protein which helps hold me over a bit longer
9. Home made trail mix - 10 almonds, 1 tbsp of raisins, and 2 tbsp of cheerios
10. Apple slices or banana slices with a tbsp of peanut butter
In good health!!

New Year, New You
So I hope you're one of the few out there that joins a gym in January and actually keeps going for the rest of the year. Exercise is a great outlet for stress - which is much needed in our economy this year! So consider that investment more than just a resolution to shed a few pounds, but rather a resolution to be a healthier you - inside and out!
When looking for a gym to join consider more than just the equipment offered. 1st think of why you want the gym... are you looking to get in more cardio, aerobic classes, weight training; or did you want to take a few laps around a pool, or join a volleyball league? Also what amenities will you need? Do you have little ones that will need a sitter so you can get in your daily 60 min of ativity? If so, check out a few clubs that offer free or discounted daycare. Will you be showering at the gym? Than be sure to spend an extra minute checking out the locker room situation - trust me, they can definately vary! Of course cost is always the final tie breaker, so be sure to discuss the contract and fee schedule.
I hope you make the commitment to get fit this New Year, for the whole year! Join the wellness revolution and take charge of your health and your future!
