What are YOUR challenges for the Year of the Tiger?

If weight loss is one of your challenges for the New year, here are a few behavior changes that will help you to shed those extra pounds.

Decrease your fat intake and incorporate healthier alternatives:

  • Use olive oil instead of butter on bread
  • Use avocado instead of cheese on a sandwich
  • Choose a veggie or turkey burger instead of a beef burger

    • Increase your activity level:

  • Walk at a faster pace as you go up and down your stairs or out to your mailbox
  • Choose to stand rather than sit, walk at a brisk pace and do weight bearing activity whenever possible
  • Do housework at a pace that gets you to break a sweat
