Many exercisers agree that uplifting music helps increase energy and motivation
while working out. This is especially important during the holiday season, when ''to-
do'' lists are long and the temptation to skip workouts is high.
Making fitness a priority is a key to holiday weight-loss success. Use these festive
songs of the season to help you create a perfect holiday workout playlist that will
keep you moving and in the holiday spirit at the same time!

Success Story John Gore
Ingredients
Lava Rock Cookies
2 1/4 cups sifted
confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons
unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
Generous pinch of sea salt
3 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups pecans, chopped and toasted
1 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, grated
4 teaspoons cocoa nibs
Preheat oven to 325F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats. Thoroughly stir together confectioners sugar, cocoa, flour and salt
in a large bowl. Beat in egg whites, one at a time, with an electric mixer on low speed. Add vanilla paste (or extract) and beat for 1 1/2 minutes on high speed,
scraping down the sides of the bowl several times. Fold in pecans, chocolate and cocoa nibs until evenly
incorporated. Spoon the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies, in batches, in the center of the oven, until dry and glossy on the surface but soft in the centers when pressed, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool
on the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully transfer the cookies, on the paper or mats, to a wire rack to cool
completely.
Sincerely,John Gore

How I lost weight!
I was diagnosed diabetic in 2007 and when I saw my weight nearing
the 300 lb. mark, I said to myself thats enough. Now, I was motivated.
I wanted and needed to lose the weight. First I had to stop eating so
much pizza! I started facing emotions head-on instead of eating the pain
away. I purchased some workout clothes and shoes. I got a good weight
scale and began to weigh myself every other day. I realized that monitoring
my progress should be constant. To stop thinking about food all the time, I
started working out at the Conway Recreation Center. At the center I could
exercise and socialize. I also talked to others about their weight loss
success and failures. Now in my sixties, I wanted go back in time and
weigh about the same as when I was mid twenties.
I had to completely change my diet and eat healthy foods with
healthy portions. I started eating six small meals a day full of fruits,
veggies, whole grains, and lean meats. My diet consists of about 60% fruits
and veggies. Although I was losing weight, I kept gaining it back in a few
months. Learning Tai Chi in 2010 helped me stay on track. At first, I used
DVDs and the internet to view various Tai Chi routines. I did Tai Chi at
home until I felt comfortable enough to do it in the local park. I became a
Tai Chi instructor to stay motivated and to help others. Fitness became a
permanent part of my lifestyle.
Talking to and listening to new found friends at the gym helped a
lot, but I still needed something for balancing the Tai Chi, diet and walking.
