F.I.T. TIP
DRINK GREEN TEA! 🫖
Did you know that green tea is another incredibly healthy addition
to your daily routine?
It has amazing health benefits and is full of antioxidants.
These benefits include:
*Reduced Inflammation * Improved Brain Function
* Fat Loss
* Protection Against Cancer
* Lowered Risk of Heart Disease
I enjoy green tea in the afternoon and often soak a tea bag in ice water. Green tea contains less caffeine than coffee, and contains L-theanine, which helps improve brain function. You can read more about the health benefits of green tea here.
Drink up!!

OH NO!
HO HO HO!
HOLIDAY SABOTAGE
Research shows that just one to two weeks off from exercise can erase the hard work you have put in to lose weight and increase your metabolism. Here's how to keep the OH NO out of your HO HO HO!:
*Schedule workouts
*Your Workouts are a part of your lifestyle!!
*Workout early before you get tired (Unless you have already scheduled it and are used to evening workouts!)

How do you define your inner strength? 💪🏼❤️ Do you like the feeling of accomplishing something you thought you couldn’t achieve? What's something you didn’t believe you could do, and then you surprised yourself and DID IT?! Do you remember how that felt? The F.I.T. online group training classes are dedicated to your success. Every workout is designed to improve your balance, flexibility, strength, endurance, and mood! You might be surprised by how invigorating (and convenient!) an online workout can be, especially since they are interactive.

F.I.T. TECH TIP
IMPROVE YOUR WORKOUT EXPERIENCE!
Enjoy your Zoom online exercise class on the big screen! If you happen to workout in a room with a TV, you can see our F.I.T. workouts much better by sharing them to the TV’s display. If you look closely at the photo, you can see Linda's laptop on the counter — it's connected to her TV.
Here’s
explaining how to do it.

F.I.T. FAQ

HOW DO I STAY MOTIVATED OVER THE HOLIDAYS?
How do we stay motivated over the holidays? That is SO DIFFICULT. We have this party, or that oyster roast, or family time . . .
All of these celebrations are good for us and our hearts, but how do we stay motivated?
Write down your workouts every week. If we blow one workout off, we have the tendency to let the next one will fall aside, then the next one, and then all of a sudden you’re like “oh my gosh I have not worked out in two weeks!”
This is the season where we kind of sabotage ourselves, and the trick is not to “go there” in the first place.
Don't throw away your progress!! Motivate yourself!
⭐️ Decorate your workout spot (like my daughter Becka did for me!!) ⭐️ Use your favorite water bottle ⭐️ Wear your favorite t-shirt or tights ⭐️ Call your favorite friend to workout with you ⭐️ Place Post-It Note reminders on your mirror or fridge ⭐️
Put the water bottle and t-shirt by your bathroom mirror where you’ll see them every morning before you start your day. Same with fun leggings! Invest in some crazy, bright workout gear that you look forward to wearing. I love the leggings from Sweaty Betty.
Try these tips before the holidays hit. You’ll be SO glad you did!
F.I.T. RECIPES OF THE MONTH
The recipes I include are quick, healthy and delicious to me. I’m always busy and in a hurry, so cooking fresh is a challenge. I hope sharing these recipes saves you time and that you enjoy.
Clean fresh eating is key!

From the website:
"Some of us don’t want to cook a whole turkey for Thanksgiving and some may feel like preparing for a whole turkey is such a hassle. Therefore, making a turkey breast roast instead is the perfect solution. Especially if you aren't hosting Thanksgiving for a huge crowd! This baked turkey breast recipe is so easy to make, low carb, high protein, hassle-free, so juicy, and full of flavor."

Sweet Potato Casserole is one of my favorite Southern treasures! But I've learned to make it lighter without adding sugar or too much butter. Sweet potatoes are naturally sweet! No need to add more unwanted calories or sugar. From the website: "This healthy sweet potato casserole has all the tasty Thanksgiving flavors in one baked dish. It’s a lightened-up, sugar-free version of the classic recipe with a layer of creamy, spiced sweet potato topped with a nutty pecan crumble. It’s loaded with flavor and certainly not missing anything – you’ll love it!"

Collard greens are honestly my favorite "can't wait to eat!" during Thanksgiving. It's no secret that I'm as Southern as can be, and was raised on Southern-style cooking.
Through the years, I have learned ways to still enjoy my Southern-style side dishes with much less fat
(artery clogger!😳).
I discovered how wonderfully tender collards turn out with an InstaPot. Even my mom approved of this recipe, and she had no idea I skipped the fat back or bacon. My trick is to add smoked or mesquite paprika to give a hint of smoked flavor.
From the website: "These vegan Instant Pot Collard Greens are tender, so flavorful, and easy to make. A classic Southern staple ready to eat in just a few minutes."
F.I.T. FAMILY MEMBER OF THE MONTH
Workout anywhere! Faye loves that she can take these online group training classes outside at her house.
MEET FAYE!
Faye has been a part of our F.I.T. Family for a year and a half.
I had the pleasure of meeting Faye through group fitness classes years ago. I knew right from the get-go her dedication to staying fit. When I started teaching Zoom online exercise classes at the beginning of the pandemic, I wanted to reach out to her because I knew she would want to keep up her routine and stay healthy.
I love hearing her say, “I have to leave right after class because I have a pickle ball match.” I’ve often thought I wouldn’t want to be her opponent on the court 😜. I'm sure that her strength and smarts make her a force to be reckoned with. She is such a great example for us all of leading a healthy lifestyle!
Yay for Faye!
FROM FAYE:
"Fonda is the best! She is positive, upbeat and fun! Her online group training classes are challenging, but she gives us alternatives so we can work at our own level.
I like that Fonda reminds us of our breathing and form, so we get the best workout possible.
Working out at home is easy and convenient, and if you miss a class, the F.I.T. video library is always available."
Check out my Zoom online workouts and join our team!
We are staying strong, happy and motivated together.
Thanks so much for reading this month's F.I.T. Newsletter!
