A really great NIH article about why it is sometimes difficult to curb eating your favorite foods!

Curb Your Eating - NIH News in Health, September 2016 Out-of-control eating can look and feel remarkably similar to an addiction to drugs. NIH’s Dr. Nora Volkow weighs in on the brain’s role in binge eating.

Today begins the "100 Day's Challenge". I was inspired by a Blog I read about a runner who committed to running each day for 100 days and decided to continue for 365 days. I said to myself, I can do that!

They say it takes 21 days for a new habit to become engrained as a regular part of one's routine...what do you think would happen if you started, or added, one new exercise, movement skill, or tried something new, for the next 100 days.

So for the next 100 days check in to see what the "tip of the day" entails. Encourage a friend to join you in the Challenge, buddy workouts are the best way to adhere to a new routine.

Sooo, are you ready to Join the Challenge? Post your thoughts, successess and if you need more hands on assistance, let me know.
