My Name is Rich Rossi and I have known and coached Mrs. Wendy Rhodes for wow.....13 years. A healthy lifestyle is really a combination of eating healthy and staying active. The one main take away, really in everything we do in life, is balance. Most indulgences we may consider are relatively not that unhealthy if done within moderation. This goes hand in hand with healthy eating and being active. The real take away here is that when it comes to healthy eating, we all have cravings for foods that are not ideal for us but it's not that you can't have them. Yes, you can have them in moderation and once you have such a food or drink it's really about the next choice you make after you have had that "not so healthy" drink/food. Therefore, be human and indulge a little. That is part of the human experience we call living. However, when you do step off your healthy lifestyle, the most important choice you can make is don't make an immediate poor choice again. Get right back onto your healthy eating plan.
So, in closing, have that donut.....just don't have another one!
