Next meeting this Saturday July 10th

Our next group meeting will be Saturday, July 10th  11:30am-1:30pm at Focus Fitness in Jax Beach.  This meeting is free to everyone who would like to attend! So tell your friends to join you :) 

   We welcome your input as we re-organize the membership options to better meet your needs.  We will be continuing with the group even though Renaissance Healing Center is closing.  Meetings can be held at Focus Fitness and at Max Muscle, as well as any group outings you all would like (example: the health food store, the beach or the park!!).  We all need each others' support during this time of transition. 
  As a group, we should think of new and creative ways to help our communities live healthier lives and recover from disasters like the Gulf Oil Spill.  This has hit too close to home for those of us living in Florida and, I feel, one of the best ways to keep our bodies healthy is to keep our environments healthy as well! (Not to mention the wonderful mental benefits of doing something good for your community.)  We must think postively and move forward to make change in the way we live our lives, be it on a small scale or a global one.  Please bring your thoughts and suggestions to the meeting, we are looking forward to a wonderful discussion!!  Thank you all for you continued support.

A Few Suggestions and Info from our Last Meeting

Great Meeting Ladies!!!


Thanks for your open and honest sharings and for allowing me personally to open up about what's been going on, it helps so much more than you may know. That's really how Healthy and Fit Group works. Your suggestions were so loving and compassionate, thank you... it felt good to feel safe to share honestly without feeling judged.

Vision Boards:
We've re-created our goals and we're back on track to our healthy and fit goals.
Hurray!!!

Here is a link to the site I found in O Magazine... healthy women informed empowered.

Here is the book that HK is reading is case you are interested: Michael Pollan - Food Rules and
In Defense of Food also by Michael Pollan. Deanna also has read both books and highly recommends.

Deanna also is talking a lot about Oxygen Magazine and Toscareno's Clean Eating Books.

We will be sending weekly emails with inspiring words about sticking to our goals.

Be sure to schedule your one on one wellness coaching session with me soon, which is part of your membership. To view my availability on line go to:  www.timetounwindyoga.blogspot.com

You can also get a 10% discount on products at MaxMuscle on Beach Blvd. (Thanks Tom!!!)
 It's next door to Dunkin Donuts! LOL, don't make a wrong turn!
This is where you can buy all of your nutritional supplements,  protein powder and more...

Have a great month and let us know if you want to plan a beach walk or if you just need some support!

Warmly,

Join us Sat. Jan. 23 for an Introduction to the Healthy & Fit Group

    In 2010, we are returning our focus to our health and well-being and encouraging our students, clients, and friends do the same.  To put this focus into action, we decided to re-launch the wonderful Healthy and Fit support group that began in October of 2008.  This group is about support, setting goals, and inspiration!  We will have our introduction meeting on Jan 23 at 11:30am.  It is National Yoga Day and Renaissance Healing Center is celebrating by offering free 30 minute yoga classes from 1pm to 5:30pm.  You are welcome to wear your yoga clothes to the meeting and stay to experience the classes and meet our instructors.  I guarantee you'll feel motivated to get moving after feeling the support and energy of the group!  This session will be complimentary, as we will be explaining the new format and getting everyone signed up for the 6 month plan to a Healthy and Fit Lifestyle.   Please join us and learn all about nutrition, exercise, and the healthy habits you can incorporate to live a healthier, happier, and longer life!!


You can get started right now by joining our Healthy and Fit Jacksonville Online Community, just click the badge at the top of this page.

We look forward to seeing you on the 23rd!
