It starts with how you feel..choose to feel good no matter what!

Today's Tip:

  DON'T SCALE DOWN YOUR MOOD

Does the number on your bathroom scale determine your mood for the
day? For some people, even a small weight gain can create a cycle of
frustration, making them turn to food for comfort, which only
perpetuates the problem. First, remember that small daily changes in
your weight can also be due to fluid changes or extra clothing. Your
self-worth should not be tied to the number on the scale. Consider
making a shift from being weight-centered to being health-centered by
eating a healthful diet, staying active and feeling good about
yourself, no matter what the scale says!

Safe Swimming

Today's Tip: 

 STAY SAFE SWIMMING
Swimming is an all-around great exercise but play it safe. Keep an eye
on friends and family. Drowning can occur in as little as 20 seconds
for children and 60 seconds for an adult. Drowning is known as the
“silent killer” because most victims slip beneath the water without a
sound. Paying close attention to those around you can drastically
reduce such accidents. Never swim alone. Lastly, learn to swim! The
American Red Cross has swimming courses for people of any age and
swimming ability. To learn more, go to www.redcross.org (click on Take
a Class).
