wwwlonestartnowcom.blogspot.com
We’re eating too much. We’re spending too much. There’s no time. We’re not ready for the holidays. We have stress. And then, all of a sudden, the holidays are over, and now we feel let-down, depressed, even more stressed and, to add insult to injury—guilty. ...

LoneStart Wellness New Post. Is wellness fundamentally important? Is it an "add-on" or an integral value? Read more . . .

wwwlonestartnowcom.blogspot.com
Believe it or not, there are individuals and organizations that look at wellness more as a “luxury item” than as a value, more optional than necessary. But, what happens if rather than an add-on, we viewed wellness as an integral part of our being? Our foundation.

LoneStart Wellness The December "Wellness in the Workplace" e-newsletter is out . . . As employers look to squeeze more productivity out of downsized workforces (and it's becoming more of a squeeze), it's a good time to consider how much obesity is dragging down the bottom line, and how investing in promoting wellness can begin to turn it around. . .

LoneStart Wellness Gobble, Gobble . . . But Not Literally! New post. Let us spoil your Thanksgiving meal. Here goes . . .

wwwlonestartnowcom.blogspot.com
Thanksgiving is a week from today, and this means we’re going to be gobbling. The average Thanksgiving meal, without seconds, adds up to about 3,000 calories—and you’ll need to walk about 29 miles to burn those calories. Sorry. Call us the “Thanksgiving Grinch.”

Really good information here! I would add that at a lot of Thanksgiving get togethers there are things to nibble on before the "big meal". I know that when we get together every year, there is anything from yummy southwestern wraps (cut into small bites) to fresh fruit and vegitables/dip. I satisfy my sweet tooth with fresh fruit and satisfy my ... See Morecraving for anything "fattening" with a dab of dip with fresh carrots/broc., etc. (for good measure, I might just throw in one meatball ;} ) But then I walk away...visit with friends and family...After all, a healthy lifestyle is just that...making healthy choices even when it is easier to say "tomorrow"!

I read the entire article...am so glad that hot is good! Hoping that chipotle peppers are in the good hot pepper food group! I love chipotle chicken salad! And jalepenos? Can't make a decent pot of red beans without them!
