What's for dinner tonight? Do I have time to get to the gym today? I just want to lose these last 10 pounds. I didn't sleep well last night. I'm so stressed out. 

It's so important for women to carve out time for ourselves. In today's busy world, more and more women consider taking time for true self care as being selfishly indulgent. Whether you are going for a manicure or a mammogram, scheduling time to workout and eat right, or just relaxing - you shouldn't be considered these rare and undeserved luxuries. It's time for women to embrace what we've known all along: prioritizing yourself and taking care of your needs is essential to your balance and well being. You can't take care of children, households, pets, jobs or parents to the best of your ability unless you take care of yourself, first. 

Bring yourselves, your BFFs, mothers, daughters, and neighbors to our free Women's Health Workshop, 1pm this Satuday, May 17, at Get In Shape For Women's Westfield Studio. We are located at 327 South Avenue West.  Engage with Health Coach Claudia Petrilli as she discusses way to care for yourself as a woman, get in shape, have more energy and create a happy life you deserve. Please RSVP: (908) 228-2084
