Greetings!
If you're like me, you've got a ton going on, and life is galloping past at full speed. It seems impossible that Thanksgiving is already here.
So be sure to take a little time to reflect and cherish the people you're thankful for this Thursday, especially your family. The miles can wait, the holiday sales can be forgotten for a day, emails can be ignored, and the outside world can just hold on. But our families can not.
I hope you have a truly blessed and peaceful Thanksgiving this year. And may your best miles lie ahead of you.
Sincerely,
Rich and the Crew at FITniche

How to NOT Gain 10lbs
Over the Holidays!
Samantha Taylor lectured to a group of mostly women at our New Tampa store last weekend and shared a treasure trove of tips. She'll be back in January, so keep an eye out for the announcement!
Here, though, are a few of the holiday weight-fighting tips she shared. Use them to prevent pound-creepage through the holidays! And watch the 25 minute seminar by clicking the link below!
- No shortcuts to weight loss...it's still mostly calories in vs. calories out.
- Decide to do things differently....old habits die hard, so you must be deliberate!
- Set your iphone timer to go off every 3 hours and eat a small healthy snack or meal each time. We burn more calories when we eat smaller meals, more frequently.
- Slow down and fully enjoy each bite. Mom was right on this one. The slower you eat, the less you will likely eat.
- Watch portion sizes. Your stomach is only the size of your fist, so your portions don't need to be much bigger.
- Enjoy "cheater" meals, when you don't concern yourself at all about the "healthiness" of the meal, every few days. But be good the rest of the time!
- Get your body moving! 30 minutes of relatively easy cardio, 4 days a week is a must.
