First Place – Holiday Session

Posted on by Cindy

November 6th – December 18th at 6 pm (across from the Refuge)

When most people think of the holidays, fitness and healthy eating are not the first things that come to mind. But celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year with family and friends can be fun, delicious and healthy!  A Joy-Full Season is a six-week devotional that will inspire you to eat right and stay active through the winter holidays.

Written by First Place for Health members from around the world, each daily reading in A Joy-Full Season offers motivation for avoiding the unique temptations of the season and personal testimonies about finding balance in the four core areas of life—emotional, mental, physical and spiritual. You’ll also find six weeks of Live It Trackers, special tips for navigating common holiday pitfalls, and scrumptious menus and recipes for Thanksgiving,

Christmas and New Year’s. Who says “healthy” and “holiday” can’t go together?
