"Slim" Comfort

Baby it's cold outside....you just sang that last line didn't you! It's hard not too right? There's a little Fa la la la laaaaa in the air whether you're ready for it or not, and Tom the Turkey has no say in the matter! The weather is changing and so is your wardrobe...but what about that waistline? Do you really want to find yourself 10 lbs. heavier this holiday season? Or are you ready to challenge yourself to B-FIT4U? Sure with colder temps comes belly warming foods BUT that doesn't mean your workouts fly out the door! Keep up that movement everyday; it won't only keep you healthy and trim, it will de-stress you when dealing with those unforeseen anxiety ridden talks with your Aunt Gerty at Thanksgiving, you get our point! Keep up those workouts! Don't let weather be your excuse to fall off the healthy wagon! And comfort food can easily be trimmed down! Yep! Turkey meatloaf anyone? Smart balance "butter" spread in those mashed taters? Fill those casseroles with more veggies than cheese. While you're at it, think veggies all around that plate before you go for a second helping of anything else. And veggies are oh so comforting when roasted and carmelized in the oven. So don't make excuses for your unhealthy living by blaming it on Mother Nature. The truth is she's going to make the sun shine and the temps rise sooner than you think, so be prepared to throw away those bulky sweaters with healthy pride! You got this, B-Fitter!
