Ahhh, Summer Time

Summer time is a wonderful time to enjoy the great outdoors and to focus on getting fit.  It is the easiest time of the year to get healthy. Tons of fresh fruits and vegetables are everywhere.  The heat makes us desire lighter fresher foods.  So many fun outdoor activities.  And it is more difficult to hide those extra pounds that we have been meaning to shed.  So, how can you get started.  Key is to just start.  Making small changes can go a very long way.  Replacing even just one sugary beverage a day with water will help to reduce the calories that you consume.  Add on a brisk walk in the morning or evening and you have just burned a few more calories.
What will be your first step?  We'd love to hear your thoughts.  Share below or send them directly to me at: Sunnie@myhealthhometown.com .
