6 Week Healthy Eating Challenge
I cannot believe it but we are already approaching week 5 of the 6 week challenge and I am so excited by the turn out and participation. If you were not aware of the challenge, do not fret- there is another one right around the corner. I have not established a start date yet but will in the near future and I will be posting it on here. Also, there will be flyers available at Cardiology One if you are interested. If you would like more information, please call 330-489-1386 and ask for Becky Wolfe. I would love to share more about what the next series will hold. The last few weeks, we have been talking about:
- Mindful eating- how to enjoy what you like but on your terms. Eating the food that is maybe not so healthy but eating it in moderation. I noticed that the people who have attended seemed to pick up on this and I am so proud!!!
- Meal planning- how to plan healthy convenient meals and not spend forever doing it!!! We discussed how to grocery shop in the most effective ways. We also discussed how to search the internet to find some healthy alternatives to some not so healthy meals (one of my favorite websites is Skinnytaste.com)
- Stress! Who doesn't have stress. We talked about ways to manage stress and how to get around it. We all deal with it, but sometimes we do not use the best coping mechanisms. We discussed different healthy ways to cope with the everyday stressors we face.
- This week- March 6th, we are talking about emotional eating. Do you ever think that your emotions control the food choices you make? Ever eat when you are anxious, stressed, angry, sad, depressed, etc.? Please come check it out if you notice this. We will discuss ways around making choices based on emotions.
- The 6th week will be a review week and an introduction to the next series. If you are interested in meeting particular goals, this may be the series for you. Stay tuned for more information about the upcoming series!!!
