If you have been following the SheCAN! weight-loss series over the past few episodes and events, have you tracked your progress? Have you evaluated and assessed where you are now, in comparison to your starting point?

Listen in to Episode #005 of the SheCAN! Podcast as Christine Reeb of Nutrition Concepts helps us continue our weight loss and weight management journey. Make sure you tune in closely during minutes 5 and 6 to hear Christine break down what you should be eating and how your caloric and nutrition intakes will affect your weight loss. We had no idea that boneless skinless chicken makes a difference over chicken cooked with the skin on, even if you don't eat the skin, did you?

• Check your meal sizes: Are you eating enough small meals to sustain your energy?

• Check your water intake? Are you consuming enough water? 64 ounces of pure water is the minimum! (Don't worry because the bathroom breaks will even out!)

• Preplanning meals leads to success! Think ahead towards your next meal.

Do you feel bombarded by fad diets telling you to eliminate entire food groups? Have you ever Googled the names of programs that claim to help you "lose weight fast"? Have you ever asked, "How many calories are too many?". If so, join Christine Reeb for episode #004 of the SheCAN! Podcast as she educates us on what a typical day-to-day diet should be composed of in order to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. She will break down the meaning of commonly used nutrition terms (what is a macro, anyway?) and will explore the many diets that tell us to remove — or severely limit — certain food groups. Remember: each of our bodies is different, which means that what works for your friends might not work for you!

This episode is a continuation of The First Step to a Healthy Lifestyle, so make sure you listen to the first installment of the series to receive the full value of Christine's expertise.

It's time to empower yourself to rise above stress controlling your life!

We often hear about the dangers of stress and how it impacts our health, career and personal life. But what if it didn't have to be that way? What if you were able to identify and subsequently control your reactions to stressful interactions as they were happening?

When you are mentally tense, your decision-making can be negatively impacted. Your ability to process information and use critical thinking skills may be overshadowed, and the ramifications may be long-lasting. So as a precursor to our March 25th event on the topic of stress and decision-making, the SheCAN! Podcast is proud to present a throwback Facebook live audio from by APA Solutions with Joan Graci (President and CEO of APA Solutions) and Erikson Neilans, Ph.D. (in-house Neuroscience expert).

Nobody wants to be the bringer OR the receiver of a stressful interaction. Figuring out your role (as well as making changes to your responses and perspective) is key to your happiness, health and your relationships.

Don't forget to tune in during minutes seven through nine as Joan and Erikson break down how stress can be "downloaded" differently amongst people and how your core memories around stress and perspectives are affecting your interactions.

• Learning to control your reactions can diminish both the output and input of your stress.

• You, yourself, play a role in stress levels, as well as the stress of others (especially in the workplace!)

• Asking yourself "How can I make my day less stressful?" is one of the best ways you can reduce mental pressure and take control of your emotional health.
