Want to know the most common New Year's Resolution?

LA Fitness conducted a poll of the top New Year's Resolutions last year and found the number 1 answer was:

Read More Books.

I bet that's not what they were expecting! 

Losing weight made the top 3 resolutions in every poll I saw. Why does it appear every year? Because it is not easy! Sure there are hundreds of approaches that can help you lose weight, but most are temporary fixes and none of them are easy to do alone.

Sign up by tomorrow (12/31) to get $30 off the base price of $225.

Call 734.644.5483 or email mark@betterliving.biz to find out how you can get even healthier in 2014.

Oh, and let's all try to read more books next year! 

Happy New Year!

Enjoy your holidays!

If you were crazy enough to open an email from me on a holiday, rest assured, this message is free of guilt, warnings or don't-touch-the-chocolates language!

If you are anything like me, you've already had a few too many sweets over the past couple days. Thanks, Louisa, and your irresistible brownies! In fact, a day or two of indulgence does little if anything to affect our long-term health. All we need to do is listen to our bodies for feedback. Follow these tips:

• When your stomach feels satisfied, take a break from eating. 
• Eat smaller portions of proteins (ham, chicken, turkey, beef) and carbohydrates (potatoes, rolls, pasta) so that you have room for the extras like eggnog and pie.
• Stand. Research says we burn a lot more calories if we stay off our derrieres. Grab a cookie and stroll around the house!

Rather than focusing on being food-virtuous on the holidays, think about joining our 10 Week's Challenge. Spend the first 2.5 months of 2014 forming healthy habits that could improve your energy, sleep and overall vitality. Email me at mark@betterliving.biz to enroll or get more information.

Happy Holidays!
