Happy Valentine's Day!!!!


How yummy do these look?!? Don't worry, its ok to have one or even two, they are not terrible and strawberries are low in calories and high in vitamin C! Today is the day to indulge a little, not too much and show your loved ones, significant other and YOURSELF some appreciation! Flowers, candy, cards, dinner, chocolates! Whatever makes you and your loved ones happy! Its healthier to love then to hate and less draining! Take today to indulge in something that you love to do. Cook? Bake? Exercise? Little Spa time? Some Chocolate??
Favorite indulgence of mine is to have a bubble bath, light candles, have a glass of champagne or wine and a good book... a little me time!!

Hopefully everyday you treat everyone around you and yourself a little special, but today treat yourself and loved ones a little extra special. It is a good thing to have that little something you love, chocolate, candy, whatever it is. Just don't over do it! Plus a little can go alooooooooong way and you can have more candy/chocolate if you share! Look at the cals in some of my favorite Valentine's Day treats!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry (average) - 107cals 7g fat
One glass of Champagne - 85cals 0 fat
Milk chocolate truffle - 78 cals 6g fat
White chocolate truffle - 87 cals 7g fat
Sometimes it is nice to let your guard down and have something that you typically wouldn't. A cheat day as sometimes I classify it! You work so hard at work and on being healthy, a little break never hurt anyone, just dont overindulge!
Don't forget to show everyone even in an email that you appreciate them, it definitely makes a difference!
Enjoy!
