New Year, New Attitude

I understand that January is typically a time of the year devoted to fitness and eating well. I too participate in this every year. If I didn't, my pants would probably not button. Besides, it is important to rebalance and the start of a new year is the perfect time. However, as much as I advocate healthy eating throughout the year, I also think it is important to enjoy our experiences and reflect on the past as we move into the future. As you move into the year pursuing fitness and health, allow yourself to do it without guilt of past indulgences. Take on healthy habits that last throughout the year, which will enable you to bounce back more quickly after a few weeks of parties and extra servings. Food is about nourishing your body, but it also is a vessel through which we share experiences with friends and family and the simple moments of the everyday. So enjoy today and push for tomorrow, but always relish in the good of yesterday.
