Feeling Like the Holidays
are Plumping you up?!
As Christmas approaches, I am hearing from many individuals that although it appears their wallets are getting skinnier, their caboose is feeling bigger. How can this be when all we are going is hundreds of errands, decorating like crazy and shuffling our kids around. Aren't we more active than normal? Not really...when you sit down and ponder what has changed in the past month or so, you may realize that although you are not at home as much and running to the mall on a daily basis, it is also more likely that you are partaking in the Christmas candies and cookies that often magically appear at church, at work and even in our homes. It is also guaranteed that you are eating out which can be catastrophic to our waistlines. In addition, it is the time of year for cookie exchanges, extra adult beverages, and warm specialty lattes to keep us warm and more importantly, alert!
Rest assured, I can guide you back to balance, help you slim your rear and teach you tips on how to boost energy naturally and without the hangover often accompanied by overindulgence of the season. Our group counseling program can help you do just that and so much more! "RW: Unprocessed- Pure & Simple" allows you to move away from the evils of processed and packaged foods and transform your lifestyle to commit to the foods critical for optimal health. This journey is certain to have bumps and divots, but nonetheless will be a truly educational and amazing experience for all those involved. There are only 2 seats left, so I hope you will consider joining us!
Our January cooking class will be held on January 15th and will teach you to "Cook the New Year Away". I will demonstrate healthy and fun dishes that are certain to motivate you to get back in the kitchen and get cookin'! We will use the bounty of the winter harvest as well as incorporate some vitamin C to fight the colds and viruses that circulate this time of year. Please be certain to review our cooking class schedule by visiting our events page. Many of the classes are almost full! I will also be holding the Level I Raw Food Class in January as well.
In honor of the spirit of giving, here is a recipe for a wonderful dish to share with those you care about the most. It is warm, sweet and oh so good!
