Winter Fitness Fest!

Welcome to our fitness community support blog! We are excited to have everyone participate in helping each of us not only survive through this winter wellness challenge, but to THRIVE through the "hibernation" months! I don't know about you, but I have worked too hard this summer losing weight and getting in shape to let Halloween candy, Thanksgiving pies, and Christmas party's give it all back! To help us get motivated for this wonderful time of year, my friends and I are throwing a PARTY! Not your typical party where we say "oh, one little cookie won't hurt", but an amazing party where Tim Misewicz (personal trainer for 25 years), will give us some great exercise and nutrition tips to help us get ready for this holiday season. We'll have a "taster's table" for healthy snacks and alternatives to all the sweets, as well as free give-a-ways! We will be announcing the date and location of our first winter workout session that Tim has willingly offered his services for. He has really been great to lend his expertise in helping kick-off this winter fitness fest so lets make his time worth-while by getting as many of us AND our friends and family to this fun-filled evening on Thursday, October 15th at 7:00pm! Location is yet to be determined as we are anticipating a great turn out and we want to make sure we meet where everyone can be accomadated. If you could please RSVP either by just commenting on this blog, emailing Jill Egbert egbertjj@gmail.com or call 801-706-5736; or email Emily (Ceder) Bateman cederandcarter@gmail.com, how many will be attending with you that would help us out a ton. We are looking forward to meeting you and helping you reach and/or maintain your fitness goals so that when New Year's comes around you will have already made that resolution a lifestyle! Make sure to check the blog for our party location and following the party we will begin posting new tips from trainers like Tim, Dori Madson, and Kathy Smith. We also want to hear your stories, goals, pictures and any fun new health tips or recipes that you like and want to share with us on the blog! It's really incredible to feel how someone elses' successes boost our own! Remember, we are also trying to include our families and especially our kids, so if you've done fun activities or found ways to help them move and make good food choices we want to hear it! (If you still need some added motivation to come and join us, read the previous post about "skinny jeans" :)
