It’s been so great seeing so many new and returning students the past couple of weeks. BL is so excited to be part of your journey to take better care of yourself in 2023. But, that being said, working out and practicing yoga is really only half of the wellness equation...The other half is “what are you putting in your mouth.” As some of you are aware, my degree is actually in Nutrition. I am a Registered Dietitian and I am super passionate about sharing sound nutrition information with all our BL peeps!! So twice a year, I offer a nutrition seminar geared at aiming all of you with knowledge and tools to manage your health and your waistlines more effectively. The next one is Wednesday, February 1st and is entitled Mood, Mind, & Appetite.
While most of my nutrition seminars focus on what and what not to eat, this one is a little different. This is because I have found that most of us are painfully aware of the types of food choices we SHOULD be making. But we are missing the other ½ of the eating equation which addresses the WHY’s. WHY do we eat foods we know aren’t good for us? WHY do we continue to eat after we know we are already full. WHY do we crave different foods at different times of our lives? The answers to these questions rest in understanding a bit more about our brain chemistry. I have found that this knoIwledge helps to equip us with that missing piece of the puzzle that could not only boost your energy levels but to help you shed those unwanted pounds once and for all.
If you’ve been coming to BL lately, you may have heard that we have a campaign going on that features a positive word of the week. Last week was Curiosity and this weeks’ is Determination. I know many of you are moving into this new year determined to lose weight and be healthier. But as much as I applaud determination, sometimes it’s not enough. Or more often than not, I see students SO determined to lose weight that it’s at the expense of their health. I am determined to give you the knowledge to add to your determination to lose weight so that you can understand why you overeat when you’re maybe tired, bored, or angry. So that you can start to understand the difference between our physiological need for food (HUNGER) and our desire for food (APPETITE). So you can apply this information to lose those unwanted pounds in a way that not only maintains but actually betters your health.
So mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 1st from 7-8 pm. It’s an hour invested in YOU!!
Would love to have you join us!!
