Good morning,
What are you doing to keep warm this winter?
It's so nice to be able to get away to the warmer weather but there is something to be said about crisp, white snow and all the winter fun that can be had. My biggest winter thing is bundling up in many layers and going for a walk.
I am not a skier, although have attempted and I like tubing and snowshoeing but I really haven't made those a priority. So walking it is!
In weather like this it's so important to fill our bellies with more warming foods.
It's great if you can be in a warmer temperature, then cooler foods are fantastic.
Warming foods in colder weather make for healthier digestion and overall feeling of warmth inside and out. I'd like to give you a recipe for a wonderful soup to keep you warm. Filled with lots of great ingredients this soup provides the fibre (complex carbs), proteins and fats that are so essential.
Make Good Choices is going to be posting a series of 40 days to ?#?change?, today is day 2! If you wouldn't mind checking my Facebook page everyday for the next 39 days. "Like" and "Share" with your followers. I am giving you Day 1 here for a sample of what to expect. I am really looking forward to hearing from my followers if they've tried some of the Nutritional nuggets and how they are feeling.
Also, I wanted to share with you the information on my upcoming program called the "zest4life Vitality Weight Loss Program."
If you know of someone who might benefit from such a program would you mind passing on the information? It does begin here in Barrie, Ontario but can be done in the comfort of ones home as well. The At Home Program will still have "moi" to support and coach throughout.
Please take a moment to read through and the link below brings you to more details regarding pricing. I appreciate you sharing this for me.
Thank you,
Katherine
