The Journey without a destination
Raise your hand if you’ve ever treated “healthy and fit” as a destination.
By that we mean, you set a goal, make a plan, and then bring it to life.
But then once you reached the goal, you slipped back into your old habits.
You are not alone! (Shocking stat: between 80% to 95% who lose weight eventually gain it all back.)
The fact is, being “healthy & fit” is a lifestyle.
The good news about THAT is that it’s not about being PERFECT. It’s about being consistent and making it part of your regular routine.
You may have a day where you:
Indulge in an off meal
Miss a workout
Don't get enough sleep
But that doesn't mean you've failed. It just means that the next day, you’re back on track. It's about long-term habits, not short-term fixes.
Something to think about: What's one thing you're doing TODAY, to make your health a part of your lifestyle, and NOT just a goal?

Holiday Nutrition Tip: Watch what you drink
We’re heading into one of the biggest times of the year for overdoing it with sugar…
The holidays!
And one of the biggest sources of added sugars is what we DRINK.
Current guidelines call for getting less than 10% of your daily calories from added sugars — if you eat 2,000 calories a day, that’s 200 calories (or about 12 teaspoons, or 42 grams).
To give you an idea: 10 oz. soda has 10 teaspoons of sugar! 🤯
Did you know that drinking sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with:
Weight gain
Obesity
Type 2 diabetes
Heart disease
Kidney disease
Non-alcoholic liver disease
Tooth decay and cavities
Gout
And more
OUCH.
On the flip side, if you limit (or better yet, stay away from!) sugary drinks, it can help you maintain a healthy weight AND eat a healthier diet in general.
With all that in mind, I have 5 beverage swaps for you today that are perfect for the coming holiday season.
Festive infused water: Substitute sugary drinks or alcoholic beverages with water that’s been infused with cinnamon and apple, pomegranate and mint, or cranberry and orange.
To make: Wash the fruit, slice it, and add it and any other flavorings to your water. Let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour before drinking.Non-dairy eggnog: Nogs made with non-dairy milk tend to be lower in added sugars and unhealthy fats while still being creamy and delicious. Just make sure you read the label to get the lowest amount of added sugar.
Ginger or mint herbal teas: Not only are these teas comforting and tasty, but they can also help soothe your stomach.
Vegetable juice: Instead of reaching for fruit juice, go veg instead. Again, check the label for the sugar content. (Tip: shop for these in a specialty shop or in the grocery produce section for healthier options).
Cocoa: DIY your hot chocolate with antioxidant-rich dark chocolate, unsweetened oat or almond milk, and sweeten it with a touch of honey or maple syrup. Yum!
Over time, simple acts like swapping out some of your old go-to’s with healthier options can add up to big results!
