Valentines day: Ruining your diet?

Sorry it has been a few days since I've updated! I have been working so much it's not even funny! Just because its Valentine's Day..I have to share this!

How Many Calories in that box of chocolates??
The answer: about 1400 in a box that contains 1 lb of assorted chocolates.
May want to think twice before you eat the whole box :-)
 
A Healthier alternative that's low in fat and calories: dark chocolate covered organic strawberries! Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants and organic strawberries have plenty of vitamin C. :)

Now for a little health talk..

The most recent topic I've been learning about in my training book is how to properly do a fitness assessment & the importance of incorporating every piece of information neccesary to ensure it's the best assessment you can give a client! Clearly I'm not going to sit here & write about how to give you one, something you can do at home  is take your BMI (Body Mass Index) to see if your weight is appropriate to your height. There have been studies to show that if your BMI is greater than 25, obesity related health problems increase. So check yours! :)
Divide your body weight (in kilograms) by height (in meters squared).
Mild =25-30
Moderate=30-35
Severe= >35
