Day One of your 21 day commitment!

Take a deep breath as you lift your arms over your head, hold onto your opposite elbow, reach and give yourself a pat on the back and now the other side.  Making a healthy commitment, calls for a pat on the back.  As you begin the next 21 days, be kind to yourself.  Try not to judge or over think.

What is a 21 day healthy lifestyle commitment?  For some of you it could be a lifestyle change.  For others it could be slight changes to an already healthy lifestyle. We are focusing on three elements of a healthy lifestyle over the next 21 days; nutrition, fitness and stress management.

We all know we should exercise everyday, but realistically that may not happen.  There are so many things we are "supposed" to do it can be overwhelming.  Doing something you enjoy really helps.  Do you like yoga?  Walking? Or maybe you love to dance?  Doing something is better than doing nothing.  Maybe doing some push ups or sit ups for 10 minutes is the best you can do some days. Taking an hour long yoga or dance class might only happen once or twice a week or month. Try to fit in your exercise as you can.  Turn on some music as you do your chores, find reasons to move.  Find reasons to celebrate and have fun.

Do you have some tips to share?  Tell us what helps you to move.  Or if you need some extra motivation let us know how we can help.
