Hi Shifters,

Happy Cyber Monday!!! Did Thanksgiving tucker you out?  I’m bushed!  Now my head is spinning with the idea of venturing out to holiday shop.

If you skipped the shopping crowds at the mall this last weekend and are looking for healthy holiday gifts for loved ones (even yourself) here are some “healthy” favorites from me and other members of the Shift Community that you can find online.

1.     Polar Heart Rate Monitor Watches—(Mickey’s Favorite) these handy watches will monitor your heart rate, time your work outs, and show how many calories you burned during your work outs.  Costs average 80-250 dollars depending on style etc.  Available at Amazon and other online retailers.

 

2.     Fit Bit—(Julie’s Favorite) This teeny little device is something you can wear like a pedometer and it measures everything: steps, sleep, calories burned during exercise and rest, etc. downloads to your computer and you can log on to see all of your data day by day.  I could see this becoming an addiction.  Cost—around 100 dollars. http://www.fitbit.com/


 3.     The Healthy Eating and Weight Management Book and Workbook by Dorene Robinson (Rita's favorite)This book is a favorite of trainers, dieticians and health clubs.  It is the best book out there as far as I am concerned as to how to put together a healthy approach to weight release.  Dorene has a great writing style and uses a lot of similar principles as I do. A very great information packed read with a workbook to put it all together.

4.     The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg  If you want to know why you do what you do and why it’s hard not to do it—then this is a book for you!  One of my favorite reads this year.

5.     Hungry Girls’ Supermarket Survival Guide  This handy little book that fits into a purse or bag is a great gift for those friends who have a hard time navigating the grocery store in a healthy way.  A fabulous stocking stuffer.

BIG HOLIDAY SHOPPING TIP—Eat something before you go so you don’t get stranded with your blood sugar levels dropping!
