Nutrition

I hope you all had a great Christmas/holiday and have been enjoying your days off! As we go into the new year, I am providing you with a kittle homework, Please see the article below. Try to come up with two goals for the year using the “Mental Health Self Care Wheel.” There are physical, emotional, spiritual, and many other aspects of health. Ensure that the goal is “SMART.”

• S: specific (how often will you exercise, how long will your sessions last, where will you exercise?)
• M: measurable
• A: attainable
• R: relevant
• T: time-bound

Action Plan:

• Think what, when, where, how here. Do we need to pack clothes/snacks, bring your bible or journal with you to work, etc.
• What is your why? Wanting it bad enough and being consistent are the biggest factors!
• What are support systems around you that can help you get where you want to be?
• What are potential barriers you foresee? How do you plan to overcome them?

Hi All!

I have made an office/at home workout plan to the theme of “The 12 Days of Christmas.” Please take a look and feel free to do on your own or implement in your own workplace. It is great to take a break during the work day to try these put. It’s also fun to do in a group.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Good Morning!

This week, we are focusing on getting more vegetables. Vegetables are low in calories, but packed with nutrients. Vegetables contain phytochemicals, or various pigments that promote different health processes in the body. Vegetables are also packed with fiber to help with cholesterol and digestive health. See below about phytochemicals.

How to Sneak in Vegetables

Hi All!

We had an excellent time at our cooking event yesterday. Thank you so much to the Warren County Board of Developmental Disabilities for attending and the employees of the Warren County Juvenile Detention Center and Mary Haven Rehab facility for helping us host! See these recipes to try them like we did. They were scrumptious! Be on the lookout for more meeting coming up in the future.

As it begins getting cooler and the holidays start creeping up on us, it is good to address how to cope with food cravings. A piece of Halloween candy is a nice treat, but we should refrain from eating the whole jar! See these tips for craving help.
