8A – <strong>Fuquay</strong>-<strong>Varina</strong> Independent, Wednesday, February 1, 2012 Live happy and healthy this New Year! Each new year many of us vow to make changes in our diet and physical activities. Count me in on th<strong>at</strong> one! Have you gotten off to a good start? I have asked friends to share their comments on wh<strong>at</strong> they feel works for them. They all agree, if you don’t work out <strong>at</strong> the gym, walk, run or work out <strong>at</strong> home. And <strong>at</strong> meal time, use portion control. Donna Thompson has always had her exercise routine, but <strong>was</strong> never been too keen on running. However, with the incentive of a buddy and the purchase of a gre<strong>at</strong> lightweight pair of running shoes, she now has added running a few times a week to her routine and enjoys it. At dinner time, use portion control. Try pl<strong>at</strong>ing up the right sized portions, instead of family members serving themselves. If the food is not placed Wh<strong>at</strong>’s Cooking? Anita Weekes Janet Kangas Editor right in front of you, chances are you may not be inclined to serve up another helping. And salads, e<strong>at</strong> <strong>at</strong> least one a day and even replace lunch with a salad. They can fill you up with gre<strong>at</strong> nutritional value. And don’t forget fruits and veggies! E<strong>at</strong> an apple for a snack instead of th<strong>at</strong> candy bar. Christine Carlson works out early in the morning, before there is anything to cause distraction. If you wait until l<strong>at</strong>er in the day, things may come up th<strong>at</strong> need your <strong>at</strong>tention and exercise does not take priority. Find a group of people th<strong>at</strong> will hold you accountable. Chris runs with a group of friends and always looks forward to seeing them. Th<strong>at</strong> helps motiv<strong>at</strong>e her to go run. Last but not least, if Chris doesn’t get to the gym, she uses the Time Warner cable Fit TV on Demand. There are longer and shorter videos and most do not need equipment. These can be done right in your own living room and work for her and can work for you, too! Here are also a few healthy recipes! A Mystics Garden, owned by Jan Petri- Kolleda and Dawn Prior, is a shop like none other in <strong>Fuquay</strong>-<strong>Varina</strong>. Loc<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>at</strong> 601 Broad St., the shop offers handmade and specialty jewelry, prints and decor<strong>at</strong>ive fountains. Mostly, it offers a calm haven of <strong>well</strong>-being. In addition to items for sale, there are classes th<strong>at</strong> include topics such as medita- tion, how to be happy and candle making. The newest offering <strong>at</strong> A Mystics Garden is massage. Adolfo Lunardi is a massage therapist who will be <strong>at</strong> A Mystics Garden every Tuesday and Thursday and every other S<strong>at</strong>urday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. At just $40 per hour massage before gr<strong>at</strong>uity, it is a bargain.
