HOLIDAY GUIDE mit to walking daily for thirty minutes or more, weight train two to three times a week, meditate, do yoga a couple a times a week, and lose one to two pounds a week if weight loss is a goal. If you start now, you could begin the new year 15 to 20 pounds lighter, imagine that. Embrace the Scale. If you don’t own a body weight scale then get one today. You don’t have to invest in one of the hightech expensive ones. A regular twenty-five dollar scale will do just fine. Every morning when you get up jump on that scale before you step foot in the shower. That way, you’ll see if you are trending upward, staying the same, or shedding a few pounds. While the scale is just one measurement of your health, it’s a good one. Weighing in daily, you’ll see just how quickly those little “fun size” snacks add up. Also, keep in mind, that one day of cheating sets you back about three days. In other words, it will take you about three days of clean eating to get back to where you were before the indulgence. Therefore, a three day weekend of over indulging will set you back about nine. Now, how do you like them apples Celebrate Relationships. Instead of putting so much energy into the food, let’s make this holiday season more about celebrating our relationships. Let’s create environments with family, friends, foods, and activities that support a healthy lifestyle. Offer more vegetables and fruits at the celebratory table. Provide more water and less high calorie beverages and lay low on the alcohol, too.

YouthfullyFIT Does Your Child Have This Major Skill By Solomon Brenner It isn’t easy to stand up in front of a crowd and take the lead, but at some point we are all called on to do just that. Whether it is a presentation for school or a class project, you want your child to feel comfortable standing in front of his peers. This confidence is not only important for school, but also for success in his career as an adult. A great way toteach leadership is tolet your child take the lead once in a while. Let him teach you something. It could be as simple as asking him to show or tell you how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Antoinette Hinkle’s son, Ryan, likes to bring the leadership skills he learns in karate class home to teach his family. “He loves to show everyone how strong he is and his karate kicks,” Antoinette said. “He even loves to tell people when they are doing it wrong.” Giving them a leadership role somewhere they are already comfortable will make it easier for them to take the lead in a more challenging situation. As they get older they can take the lead on more complicated tasks. With so much practice as a leader, your child will grow naturally into a confident individual. A big part of being a leader is having confidence, which is why giving them a leadership role at home is a great first step. To help them branch out get them involved in a group activity where they can make friends and feel comfortable. This will make your child more confident and therefore give him more of the tools he needs to be a leader. By trying different sports and activities to see what he likes best, your child could discover his passion. We all know how much easier it is be enthusiastic about something we enjoy. This translates into leadership for your child. When he finds something he loves to do, he will want to take on a more active role and be a leader. Don’t forget that your children watch every move you make. If you are going to preach the values of being a leader, even when that means doing the hard thing because it’s the right thing to do, you’re going to have to live those values yourself. Otherwise, the lectures go in one ear and out the other. Using your own behavior as an example is a great way to show your child little ways you can be a leader every day. Being a leader has greater benefits than being team captain or club president. If your child is a leader, he thinks for himself. A leader doesn’t do something just because all the other kids are doing it. This means he is less likely tosubmit topeer pressure or fall in with the wrong kind of group and more likely to stand up for himself and others. Leadership isn’t easy. There are always going to be obstacles and setbacks. It’s how your child deals with these obstacles that separate the leaders from the followers. The key is to have a positive attitude. For others to believe in and follow him, your child must first believe in himself. He has tohave an “I can” attitude that keeps him moving forward no matter what life throws at him. When your child is scared to stand in front of a crowd because he doesn’t want to make a mistake, remind him about the power of a positive attitude. If he goes in believing he will be a great leader, he has already won half the battle.
