While we are celebrating the holidays and probably eating more than we should, many of us are already planning how we're going to lose some extra pounds in January. There's a good chance one of your New Year's Resolutions is to lose weight and get healthier.

Roasted Winter Vegetables Recipe | Nudge Your Veggies
Posted by Aaron Hoffman on Dec 6, 2013 12:52:00 PM
Simple, easy, fresh. Over the years I've learned the best dishes I make and want to eat on a regular basis involve those 3 factors. Roasted vegetables are one of my favorite things to do since carmelizing them in a bit of healthy oil brings out the flavor of your food while still retaining the health benefits.

In recent reviews of Moves and MapMyFitness I talked about the advantages of both passive tracking and GPS enabled tracking, which are extremely informative and allow you to track loads of information about how much you're moving.

Healthy Holidays: Turkey Sausage, Apple, & Cranberry Stuffing
Posted by Aaron Hoffman on Nov 22, 2013 1:51:00 PM
Next week is Thanksgiving and officially kicks off eating season. The average American consumes 4,500 calories and 229 grams of fat at Thanksgiving dinner alone - more than twice what you should be eating daily. That doesn't include any other meals you'll eat that day and all the leftovers consumed several days after.
I'm personally not one who wants to count calories during Thanksgiving as the holiday is more about enjoying time with your family and eating dishes you wouldn't normally indulge in. Holiday food brings back fond memories of family tradition and good times so I automatically shut off when I hear people preaching non-traditional dishes to replace normal fair. I don't find anything celebratory about eating seeds, raw kale, fat free processed foods, and meat substitutes. There may be a time for that, but in my opinion that time is NOT Thanksgiving dinner.

There are many different fitness trackers on the market that work well and even more that aren't worth a look. The ones that are the most useful, especially for outdoor exercise are apps that utilize the GPS in smartphones to track the time and distance of your activities. As I mentioned last week, the new iPhone 5s even offer a passive tracking chip in it so it can monitor your every movement and Moves offers this same type of tracking on older iPhones and Android.
