Move to the Music

So what did you get for Christmas?  Did you get to spend time with your favorite aunt or cousin and did you get to open presents with your family?  I had a GREAT Christmas.  :)  One of the favorite presents our family got was a xbox 360 with the kinect.  We got a game called Just Dance 3.  You get to dance to songs and you get points for how well you can do the actions to the song.  Up to 4 people can dance at one time.  Our family had a blast dancing to the music!  It was a good workout.  And it's suuuuuuuuuuuuper fun.  :)  I got to thinkin'---you don't need the game to get up and dance to music.  Grab your girlfriends and your favorite song and create your own routine.  That's what I call Pinkercise....... :)

Have the Christmas Spirit!

This weekend have the Christmas spirit by helping improve the health of someone you love. Make your mom go for a walk, get a friend to go sledding, help your grandpa to add some color in his diet. You are an inspiration if you are a P.I.N.K. girl! So this Christmas holiday share your healthy knowledge. Inspire someone with your go-to-guide. Show someone Yoga or one of your favorite healthy snacks. Have a fabulous healthy happy holiday!

Color!

It is almost Christmas! Are you all excited? I am! I know we get alot of food over the holidays that we usually don't eat much of all year. And that is FINE to enjoy yourself over the holidays but while you are indulging I want you to still remember to think P.I.N.K. Healthy, sparkling pink girls. I want you for the rest of this week to think about COLOR. Yes color! Look at all the color around you at Christmas. It is beautiful! Think about Christmas colors - red and green. Have you ever thought about all the healthy foods you can eat that are red and green? I will share some healthy color foods I can think of. Let me know what you can come up with! Have fun over the holidays but try to eat some color! Merry Christmas!

Green
salad, spinach, asparagus, artichokes, avocados, peas, broccoli, pears.

Look for fun winter activities to Keep you Moving!

Some of you may find it hard to exercise in the winter but there is a lot of winter fitness activities for kids. Get bundled up and go outside. Sled, skate, build a snow fort or even have a snow ball fight! Go sledding! The whole family can enjoy it. The bigger the hill to climb back up the more you get your heart rate up. When we are just having fun we don't stop to think about the physical fitness benefits we are getting. Get outside and play today!

Fuel for your body...

Have you ever been with a parent and they had to stop and get gas for their car?  That is what food is like for our body.  We need fuel for our body to keep going and not come to a screeching hault in the middle of the day.  So here are some ideas for tasty snacks that will keep you going and going and going.....

My fav sweet treat recipe:

1 banana
1 cup frozen cherries

put both in food processor and blend well.  It tastes like creamy ice cream!  Yumm-o!

Other ideas are:

Apple and almond butter sandwiches with raisins

Make your own frozen fruit bars:
Grab your fav fruit and mix with a spoonful or 2 of yogurt with a bit of honey

How bout a handful of nuts??

Have fun picking your own healthy snack!!
