Great Team Call Today!


Happy Friday!

The team held a great coaching call today with Dr. Julie Ortega-Schmitt of The Granger Village Doctor. On the call, she shared some insightful thoughts on journaling.  She mentioned that she feels that journaling will sometimes help an individual more than counting calories.  She uses journaling to plan her exercise for the next day in order to arrive at the gym with a plan of action. 

On the topic of nutrition labels, which was also brought up on the call, there is a grocery store tour being planned with Martin’s.  In the meantime, you might find this link to the American Heart Association page on reading nutrition labels helpful.   

What are your thoughts on journaling? Do you have trouble reading nutrition labels?

Have a great weekend!
