Choose exercise over food when stressed!

This attached graphic is so true!!! 
Typically we reach for food when we need "comfort".  However exercise truly helps relieve stress and anxiety--trust me, it's been a HUGE help to me during some very difficult times! For me, I find a 45 minute run on the treadmill, along with some good music, incredibly lifts my spirits & clears my head--truly the best therapy ever!!  (There's a reason they call it "runner's high"!)

So the next time you need a "lift", don't turn to food as your pick-me-up.  Instead make the healthier choice---choose exercise...Both mind & body will be glad you did!!!
