January is here and many make it their mission to achieve their weight loss and fitness goals. I like to focus on health rather than weight loss because weight loss is synonymous with deprivation and chomping on cardboard crackers. If you focus on health however, weight loss is a fabulous byproduct of healthy living. Check out these weight loss infographics for your best you ever!

If you have been to a mindful meditation class you may have done the mindful eating exercise. If you don't know what this is, it's traditionally done with a raisin. At the meditation class I attended there was also a chocolate option, which I naturally went for. The idea is that you smell and feel the item first and then take a small bite. Then you take another small bite but you chew the food with the side of your mouth that you don't normally masticate with. The whole mindful eating process takes about 6 minutes after which you should be left with about half of the chocolate. I was left with about a quarter but I did better than a number of others who were left with little more than a chocolate stain on their napkin! It was a good reminder that we need to savor our food instead of mindlessly guzzling it down. It can also be great for weight loss as you're more likely to recognize the signs of satiety.
