This is part 1 in our series on how to survive the holiday season without losing control or getting off track. There are so many different factors that shape our behavior during the holidays. We will be addressing some of them and discussing ways in which you can work to enjoy this time of the year without deprivation.

The best laid plans are often thwarted by the most innocent motives. Even if you have instituted strategies for your own candy purchasing for the house and guidelines for the workplace, you still may have to figure out how to deal with the candy that your children have brought home from a night of canvassing the neighborhood.

I refer to Heart In Motion's recipes all the time for healthy variations. Who'd have ever though a chocolate smoothie with spinach would taste good. This is a great way to get a vegetable in me with a great taste!

No one would help or explain to me why I kept gaining weight, regardless of what I ate, until Heart in Motion. 20+ down and more to go. Heart in Motion is helping me make positive healthy changes in my life and I'm having fun doing it.

I am a cancer surviver. I had extensive surgery that left me quite weak. I am so grateful for this website as it has given me the challenge to exercise at my own pace.
It is also teaching me new ways to eat, foods to avoid, and new foods to add to my diet so as to reduce the chances of my cancer returning. I am making changes in my eating, I am exercising as I have been taught to do through this website. For this I am very grateful!

Heart in motion has helped me lose all of my baby weight! I use the recipes every week for our family meal planning, and I love that I can access the workout videos from anywhere.
