Star Spangled Accountability

I (Jen) hope you all had a great holiday. I certainly enjoyed my time with my family. It's important for us to have those special celebrations that allow us to take a break from our usual routines. A lot of us plan vacations around these extra days off, which is great, but this the time that it becomes very easy to slip off the wagon. Don't let that happen to you! Our bodies and minds do need some recovery time, but not weeks. We all love that holiday food we eat at our picnics and family gatherings, but we can't consume that many star spangled brownies on a regular basis. Make sure that you are keeping yourself accountable even around vacation times. If you're able, find a way to incorporate exercise during your trip. It can be exciting to try a new piece of equipment or take a new class. Make sure to get some healthy food on your plate despite all that eating out and pot luck dinners. Please, don't hesitate to let us know if you need extra encouragement to get back on the horse after a break. The wellness team members are here to help you succeed, it's one of my favorite parts of the job!
