The Jana’s Jym First Place 4 Health group will be starting a new study on the 7th of January. The study is called “Growing in the Fruit of the Spirit” and will meet on Thursday nights at 7pm for 12 weeks. Visit www.fp4h.com/janasjym for more information.
Sign up now for the New Year - New You Contest at Jana’s Jym!
Cost is $15 - of which, $10 will go into the winners pot! There will be two winners: Most pounds lost, and highest percent of bodyweight lost. (not bodyfat%). Each time you weigh in, you must pay $1 for every pound gained from your last weigh-in. Those dollars are added to the winner’s pot. The two winners will split the pot on the 15th.
As always I encourage healthy, slow (1-2 pounds per week) weight loss through nutritious balanced eating and regular exercise and sleep patterns. Each week, you’ll be asked to name one specific healthy goal you have for the week. For example, “I’m going to eat spinach in a wrap sandwich on Mon, Wed, & Fri this week.”
Weigh-ins on Mondays (7am-10am; 4:30pm-8pm). Contest begins Monday, Jan 11th and ends February 22nd.
Why make New Year’s Resolutions? It’s not just the fact that another year has passed and here we are still fighting many of the same battles over food, exercise, time management, clutter control, enough sleep, enough quality time with loved ones, and financial struggles… wow - that’s a lot to handle…
It also happens to come right after a season of joy, filled with time celebrating with loved ones - family and friends, shopping for the perfect gifts, baking and cooking the things of tradition that connect us with our pasts; in short, a very busy season for many and often somewhat exhausting. Most of the time we let some things slide during the holidays; things like exercise and healthy food choices, and sleep…
So the New Year really is the perfect time to refocus, re-prioritize, and repair & revitalize our lives. What changes do you WANT to make? What things do you WANT to bring into your life? What things do you WANT less of? And what are you going to DO about it?
For example, I WANT to be less rushed and overwhelmed and I WANT to be more organized. So what do I want to do about it? I’m going to get rid of some of the physical clutter in my home but also some of the time committment clutter on my schedule. Do I WANT to do this? Yes. Am I more likely to do it because I want to as well as need to? Yes!
Schedule a wellness coaching session, take a class, sit in on a Lunch & Learn at the Well Lounge on Main St, go for a walk, sign up for the New Year - New You contest at the Jym, do something good for yourself this year, this week, this day!
Namaste! Jana
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - Jana’s Jym will be closed Dec 21-26. However, if you see my car in the lot, feel free to come by and join me for a workout! I’m not sure I can go a whole week without the Jym!
We’ll be back bright and early Monday morning the 28th!
