Today's Healthy-Eating Tip from the Mayo Clinic:

5 ways to eat more whole grains

Whole grains help lower cholesterol and provide a good source of fiber. Increase your consumption with these simple substitutions: 1. Choose breads made from 100 percent whole grains.
2. Opt for whole-wheat over white pasta.
3. Select brown rice instead of white.
4. Trade sugar-sweetened cereals for high-fiber cereals, such as bran flakes, oats or shredded wheat.
5. Bake with whole-wheat flour instead of white flour.

Are your #fitness #goals realistic?

Are your #fitness #goals realistic?

It's easy to get frustrated and give up if your goals are too ambitious in the beginning. If you haven't exercised in a while, a short-term goal might be to walk five minutes once or twice a day, and a long-term goal might be to complete a 5K walk. Whatever your current fitness level is, aim to strike a safe, but challenging balance.

#Healthy #Happy #Holidays - Join the Group

by Thea Mangels

My goal this season is to eat healthy BEFORE the holidays, so that I do not feel so guilty having a little indulgence at holiday parties and on the big days, I am looking for some great ways to enjoy the foods of the holidays without over indulging.  Also, some just good food that is guilt free.

To that end, I have created Healthy Happy Holidays: this group is designed to be interactive.  We will share ideas for healthy recipes (both for holiday food and for everyday food before and between the holidays), post articles on healthy living, offer exercise videos/workouts and tips, and support one another.  I will also be available to consult with anyone, should you have questions about It Works products. 

You can participate in the group by following the blog, or by sending me a message and joining our facebook group.  If you join the facebook group, you will receive messages when new posts or messages are sent.  

I hope you will join me in this path to a healthy and happy holiday season.
