A few days ago, I had the pleasure of joining the Business Women’s Network of Howard County (Maryland) for a lunchtime presentation by Christy Edwards of Aurora Fitness, called “Simple Steps You Can Take Today to Improve Your Health…and Your Business!” Of course, I showed up with my greasy chicken nugget and fries combo from Wendy’s; but luckily, Christy led us in an information-packed session that included a little bit of exercise to knock out those calories before they hit.
A few points that were particularly interesting and helpful:
- Food is fuel, not comfort or entertainment.
Christy stressed throughout her presentation that we shouldn’t turn to food when we’re feeling down, nor should we eat just because others are eating. The trick is to think of food only as fuel: We fuel up to start the day and only refuel when we’re losing momentum.
