Piece o' Cake is on vacation

I am out of town for the week and don't know how much I will be checking in, if it all.

In the meanwhile, remember two things:

• It's OK to enjoy a treat or skip a workout today if you have to; more important is the overall balance of your meals and snacks and physical activity over the course of the day and week. If you have a cookie instead of a well-balanced snack, balance it out by making sure you get a few good servings of fruits & veggies later. If you skip a workout, make sure to get one in tomorrow and for now, at least try to get out in the fresh air and take a walk, even for just 10 minutes.

• Eating right and working out are not just things you do to lose or maintain your weight. Eating healthfully and fitting physical activity into each day are also good for your heart, brain, digestive and overall health and can help you to sleep better and feel less stressed.

See you soon!
