For many people, exercise is something they do begrudgingly, as a means to an end, whether that's weight loss, increased strength, or better health. But it doesn't have to be that way. Exercise can and should be enjoyable, and finding ways to move your body that bring you pleasure can be the key to sticking with a fitness routine for the long term.

We get it– no matter how hard you’re working to get more movement into your day, it can be tough to get your step count where you want it to be. Any amount of walking is great for your health, and more is better.

If you’re working to set up healthy habits in 2023, it can be tough to stay positive when the motivation of the first week of January wears off. When motivation wanes, you might start to notice that you’re focusing on the aspects of your body that you wish were different.

When January 1st rolls around, it’s fun to get excited about a fresh start. Motivation is high and a clean slate on the calendar can make it feel easier to get started with the healthy habits that allow you to feel your best.

I love roasted vegetables! They are easy to put together and are great with olive oil and a little seasoning.

New to roasted vegetables? Here is a great recipe with two really great vegetables. It is easy to prepare and only incudes a few ingredients.

Happy cooking!
