What’s Valentines Day without a bit of sweet indulgence? Flowers and candy are the most common gifts exchanged on Valentine's Day. There are also frosted heart shaped cookies, conversation hearts and many other sweet treats consumed on this day.
This year my husband surprised me with milk chocolate dipped strawberries, to me, the perfect gift! A small covering of chocolate makes the delicious strawberry taste like a decedent treat, and at 48 calories each they can be eaten guilt-free.
As hard as we try to stay on track with our daily healthy choices, days like today make it more difficult. Tomorrow is a new day! Don’t beat yourself up over it, put it behind you and move on. It’s okay to indulge in moderation once in a while, but tomorrow, get back on track by planning ahead to move a bit more. Exercise in any amount of time adds up to calorie burn. A 30-minute walk at a brisk pace burns 133 calories on average! The forecast brings more mild weather for the Capital District tomorrow- bring your sneakers to work and fit a quick power walk into your lunch break. Enjoy the day and hope to see you out there!
