It's never too late to become what you might have been.

Eat only at the table
The benefit: You'll eat less and feel satisfied. According to one study, eating as a family at the dining room or kitchen table is linked with having a lower body mass index (BMI), possibly, researchers suggest, because it's easier to focus on the meal in that environment. Eating with the TV on, however, is linked with a higher BMI, probably because it's distracting. A separate review of research found that when people are distracted, they consume about 10 percent more calories-and they also eat more at subsequent meals.

, greetings and smiles :-)
As fall approaches, many of us may find ourselves struggling to stay motivated to exercise as the weather gets colder. Luckily, it's a great time for fresh starts and new goals to get healthy, whether you're a seasoned gym veteran or just beginning your fitness journey, a little extra motivation can be just what you need to kick-start the fall season.
I know it's sometimes difficult to make changes in our lives, especially with busy work and family schedules, but I truly hope you can find some time to make your health a priority this fall. Yes, going to the gym as it gets colder is not as easy as sleeping in your nice, warm bed, but you'll be glad you did.
So I'd like to leave you with one last thought from motivational speaker Jim Rohn that summarizes the main idea here pretty well: "Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live."
