How Being A Day Person Leads To More Physical Activity And Better Quality Of Life

Time To Face The Facts: We’re Not Kids Anymore

Staying up into the wee morning hours to hang with friends or study for mid terms and finals.

Once we get into our mid thirties and beyond, there’s really no reason to be up late at night (unless you have a graveyard shift of course)

Football Season Is Here! Careful Not To Pack On The Pounds

Football season’s here which is exciting and sad. Exciting because I love football! Sad because another summer is over. I hope you had a great summer. Football season is great but it is also a time to really watch out you don’t pack on the pounds. With beach days, pool parties, river trips, it’s easy to make sure you keep fit so you look good with your shirt off. Now, however, football season not only brings fun parties with beer and junk food but for many the colder months are around the corner making it easy to hide some extra fat around the belly. Don’t do it! Whether you go to the games, go watch them at a bar or have friends over, it’s easy to consume lots of calories. Even though I’m sure most of you use Sunday’s as your day to eat anything, remember to moderate. Eat foods high in protein which will not only fill you up quicker but keep you full longer. Eat small portions. Wait at least 20 minutes between eating to give the food a chance to fill your stomach. If drinking beer, have a glass of water at the same time. Moderate! And have fun.
