Handpicked

Hanpicked is a great jewelry store!! Handpicked has stores in North Carloina, South Carolina and Georgia!!

They have very fashionable and affordable jewelry as well as really cute gift ideas!! They also have a great line of monogrammable jewelry..SO CUTE!! They just opened a new store in Florence, SC! I could have stayed in there all day!! I went to buy presents..but couldn't resist getting a pair of earrings for myself :)

10,000 Steps!!

My biggest advice for anyone wanting to live a healthier lifestyle is to get out there and walk!!!! Go buy a pedometer and walk! In order to be considered "active" you must walk 10,000 steps a day. This sounds daunting..but in reality it is not hard to do!!

As far as working out goes..I have done it all! I have done classes (such as spin and weight classes). I have also ran, done the elliptical, etc. But walking in the past few months has been very beneficial for me! I run as well, but for someone just starting on their fitness journey should just get out there and walk!! There are so many benefits of walking at least 30 minutes a day...aim for more!!!

The most important thing to remember is that it is a LIFESTYLE! That has been the biggest change that I have made and it has really paid off. You will NEVER see me on a diet....EVER! I do not think they work and I do not recommend going on one! Yes..you will lose weight in the beginning..but it seems to me that everyone who has ever been on a diet has gained weight back!! I mean think about it..if you skim your calories down for your diet and only eat certain foods..once you stop this "diet" the weight is going to come back!! Gaining and losing is not healthy..it is important to maintain a healthy weight!

Also remember...everything in MODERATION!! Honestly..I eat what I want to..I make healthier choices but sometimes..I just want some ice cream or a hamburger and fries! Ya know what?? I eat them!!

So don't beat yourself up over the holidays...just try to make conscious choices about what you are eating! If you have a big meal..scale back on the next one..and hey..go for a walk!!!
