Sweet friend,
We are so grateful for you! This week provides us with the perfect opportunity to give thanks for all things - especially the opportunity we have to live our healthiest life. Let's not forget to stay on track this holiday season! We have come this far into the year, so lets not let all of our hard work go to waste! We challenge you to do cardio for 30 minutes and nourish your body with vegetables each day this week! You can do it!
During Thanksgiving, the main idea is to remember PORTION CONTROL. You do not have to avoid dessert completely, but focus on being mindful with your portions. Moderation is the key! Decide ahead of time which treat you want to have, and then decide which you could give up. For example- maybe skip the rolls and mashed potatoes, instead choose a sweet potato with honey and turkey, vegetables, and cranberry sauce, and then have a smaller piece or just a few bites of pumpkin pie. Toast some pecans for a healthier treat! Below are 5 Thanksgiving Tips to help you have a healthier and happier Thanksgiving Holiday!
5 Healthy Holiday Tips
Make a list of why you started your fitness journey and read it before going to your party or meal over the holidays! Keep your goals you set at the beginning of the month in mind!
It is okay to say "NO" to all the food pushers. You don't have to try everyone's famous recipe or try each of the foods that are sitting out.
Portion control is key. Be mindful of how much you are eating of each dish. Everything adds up quicker than you may think.
Remember everything in moderation! For example- maybe skip the rolls and mashed potatoes, instead choose a sweet potato with honey and turkey, vegetables, and cranberry sauce, so that you can have a smaller piece or just a few bites of pumpkin pie.

Roasted Maple Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
4 small sweet potatoes (or 2 large), peeled & cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup maple syrup, divided
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
4 large shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl add the sweet potatoes, 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Mix to evenly coat the potatoes and arrange on a sheet tray. Roast until caramelized, golden brown and soft, about 20 to 30 minutes. Be sure to check them after 15 minutes and stir, if needed.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-low heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the sliced shallots and saute until they start to caramelize, about 5 minutes Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Lower heat to medium and cook until golden brown and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the pan becomes dry.
Add the roasted sweet potato cubes to the caramelized shallots and transfer to a warm serving dish.
Happy November! Let’s NOURISH our bodies, minds, and spirits this month so we can best live out God’s purpose for our lives! We can’t wait to encourage you in the studio to live transformed!
