Healthy Fast Food Choices For Shoppers

I know that some of you will be spending time at your local mall shopping for just the right present for someone in your life.  This shopping takes time, it is extremely hard work and you GET HUNGRY.  Everywhere you look is another restaurant, another kiosk, the enticing smells, the sights - you have to eat now !

Don't let all this holiday spirit go to your head - or should I say your waistline.  There are good healthy choices to make even in the fast food realm. Take note that the calorie count listed is for ONE item. Three Junior sandwiches are three times the calories. No excuses accepted! 

    Just to really ruin this for you - stride out between stores and don't take the escalator or elevator. Work it!!!!
