Tomorrow begins our new class “Ever Grateful” with Coach Robbie.  Take the time to focus on that for which you’re grateful today and then join us tomorrow to learn more about how to nurture and increase that attitude.

“A grateful mind is a great mind which eventually attracts to itself great things.” -Plato

Today is World Veg Day.  Begun in 1977 by the North American Vegetarian Society the focus of this is to promote awareness of vegetarian food choices.  (Vegetarianism is different from veganism in that, for vegetarians, nothing dies for your plate, whereas a vegan diet means that nothing you eat can be traced back to an animal so eggs, milk, honey etc. are also  eliminated.)  There are many reasons why people choose a vegetarian lifestyle.  Some of those are compassion, health and the environment. 

 You might want to use this promotion to stretch yourself and see how you feel about a vegetarian lifestyle.  In the Total Health Makeover, you’ll find recipes that do include lean animal protein and eggs.  You’ll also find many recipes that do not.  There are plenty to choose from so if you want to join the fun and dip a toe into vegetarianism you won’t be feeling deprived.

Whenever you’re trying out something new be sure to do it in a HEALTHY way.  Don’t replace the animal product with a loaded baked potato, cheese fries and onion rings. 

We believe that compassion for animals should also extend to the human animal….be kind to yourself and fill your plate with whole foods.
