Happy Labor Day! (or Happy September 1st)

by workoutmommy on September 1, 2008

For those of you in the US, have a wonderful Labor Day! If you are not in the US, Happy September 1st!

I hope the weather cooperates and you get to have fun with family and friends outside. If you are going to a barbecue or picnic today, remember to make healthier choices:

  • Think 1 burger, not two
  • Have one beer, not six
  • Have some raw veggies, instead of chips and dip
  • Skip the potato and macaroni salad and have some fruit instead
  • Have one small piece of cake, not a huge chunk with a bowl of ice cream

wild mostly

Whether you are at a party, or just at home, make today an active day.
Get up early and go for a walk or run. Take a bike ride or jump rope. Play tennis with your kids, go swimming before the pools close up, do some yoga, or spend extra time enjoying your brand new Wii Fit!

Life is all about choices gang. Make the choice to move more and eat less today!

Great reminder Lisa – life is about choices. We can choose – the good or the bad. I’ll take your challenge today! And I will make it a healthy and active one!

Love the suggestions!

Rather than make it all about abstinence, which always backfires, have a little bit of everything you like!

i managed to escape the BBQ extravaganza relatively unscather – ate a little bit of everything I wanted, from artichoke dip to baked beans to salad – without feeling super sick. The chocolate cake did me in tho. But so worth it. Gotta celebrate and let loose a little!
