Are you one of those people who look in the mirror and say "man I have put on some pounds and need to do something about it"? Well get active!! Not only is being active physically good for your body but it also helps your well being. Anytime I am down or frustrated I go for a run or go lift weights. If you need some ideas as to what to do to get started just but on some good tennis shoes and go for a walk. The sunlight alone will boost your mood! You can also try yoga, lift weights, or even just mediate and stretch. Along with being active you have to eat right. Include plenty of veggies, fruits, whole grains, lean meats such as turkey, chicken, and tuna, and low fat dairy products. You should eat 4 to 6 small meals a day to keep your sugar levels even as well as boost your metabolism. Eating well and exercising for at least 30 minutes a day will not only help you lose weight but also put you in a better mood!

Until next time be fit, stay well!
