LIFEstyle mini program - night 2 of 2

Greetings all!

Thanks for coming out and choosing LIFEstyle change over “Dancing With The Stars!”

If you apply some of the principles discussed during the mini program, in the weeks ahead you will be “dancing” to SUCCESS!

We discussed the importance of HOW to eat and exercise. Both turn out to be just as important (if not more) than WHAT to eat.

If one reduces 100 to 200 calories a day (strategic eating and some exercise) it all adds up to a “fitter and healthier” you at the end of the year! Slow and steady wins the race…

Lasting behaviour change takes time. The SUCCESS chart is a great way to visually encourage keeping on track…My challenge for November was to pick 3 small lifestyle changes (eating behaviour and some form of exercise)…Check out the Feb. 12th 2007, Week 6 blog entry for some ideas…

To help maintain some of the wonderful changes that you are making, you are invited to our monthly Lunch Club on Nov. 20th (3rd Tuesday of the month) in room B224 at NRGH. We discuss MOTIVATION and MAINTENANCE when it comes to healthy lifestyle choices (get your M+M’s!!!)…

Have a wonderful month!

Dr.P

P.S. If the feedback is favourable, we may offer another mini program in the spring.
