This past holiday weekend was a BIG test for me. We went to my sister's house in Bethel for Thanksgiving dinner. The food at her house was delicious and very tempting. My mother makes these awesome dinner rolls but in my quest to be FIT BY THE FIRST I did not have one. I ate healthy some turkey ,fresh carrots ,squash ,mashed potatoes and salad. Then came the big test the dreaded dessert . There were tons of homemade goodies ...apple pie, brownies ,homemade cookies and pastries...I will admit I did eat some dessert a small piece of pie , a brownie and a pastry that my daughter made. They key thing here was portion control. This is another great part of what I have been taught at FITNESS MATTERS on High Ridge Road in Stamford. Exercise & eating right is what it is all about. I am feeling the best I have ever felt as I start my 13^th week on my FIT BY THE FIRST program at FITNESS MATTERS. This is the time of year when we tend to eat the most and gain the most weight .Now would be the time to get a jump on not gain weight and out of shape.Stop by FITNESS MATTERS on High Ridge Road in Stamford or check out their website at www.fitnessmatters.com

I guarantee you that once you start to get fit and healthy you won't want to stop.
