So listen, it's time for TEAM SNAP to step up to the plate and hit this one out of the park. I'm willing to do the 5K, and could possibly be persuaded to run the 10K. Carly is in, and I'm looking for some more people to join us. Let us know, we'll be happy to have you! We can certainly get some longer runs in these next few weeks together to help prepare for it as well! LET US KNOW!

The New (Ab)Normal

The portion size now is more than FOUR TIMES what it was in the 50's... and while that has grown... so has our population... and I'm not talking about demographics so much as the numbers on the scale and inches around the middle. Time for a change. Stop by the club to chat about a nutrition plan that will work for YOU. After all, if you eat like everyone else, you will most certainly end up looking like everyone else.

HBO Weight of the Nation Clip 7: Are All Calories Created Equal?

It is great to be aware of the calorie-content of your food, but don't make calories your primary focus in weight loss. While portion control is important (KNOW YOUR SERVING SIZES), your focus should be on fueling your body with the things that it NEEDS to function. Skip the saturated fats; stick with the unsaturated guys. Try to get enough protein, and always, always, always eat lots of vegetables and fruits!!
