Attention!

We are going on a force march today. The goal is to walk for at least 15 minutes at top speed.

The recipe of the day is almonds and dates. This is an in-between meals snack that takes the place of candy bars and cookies.

Your other mission today is to give thanks for whatever you eat today. Enjoy it. Know that it is a gift to you because you are loved and cared for. Be thankful for who you are, for your body, the amazing and powerful life machine you've been blessed with!

Tip: If you are in an exercise rut and can't seem to get into a routine or regular exercise habit, you might need to jump-start your exercise juices. Here's how: Steal a day to do nothing but exercise! Go on an all-day hike. Or do all kinds of exercises around the house: dance, play with your kids, clean vigorously, do yard work. The idea is to keep going all day long. You'll have to "steal" this time because nobody is going to give it to you!

Dismissed.
