Topics:  balancing your blood sugar levels, emotional eating, fitting exercise into your life, food intolerances and allergies, candida overgrowth, busy lives, listening to your body, learning to say no, importance of water, and more.

Time: 6:30pm-8:00pm followed by optional 1/2 hour walk
Another group will meet on Thursday afternoons
Time:  12:30pm-2:00pm followed by optional 1/2 hour walk

Our puppy Mylo

In March we got a puppy at the request of my older daughter.  Mylo is the newest member of our family.  He’s very friendly and full of energy.  To channel his energy into something less destructive than chewing all the plastic lids in the house we have been taking him on walks five times a day.  He is a Brittany and ideally could use an hour run everyday.  I’ll have to work up to that, but for now he is good motivation to walk more often than I had been.
