Quick Tip 4 U - December 29, 2011

Health::

Snacks are a great way to refuel. Choose snacks from different food groups - a glass of low-fat milk and a few graham crackers, an apple or celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins, or some dry cereal. If you eat smart at other meals, cookies, chips and candy are OK for occasional snacking.

My afternoon pick me up is a chocolate graham cracker spread with peanut butter and a dab of honey.  It restores my energy.

Wealth:

Gift Cards---I once read that stores make a great deal of money through unused Gift Cards.  Keep yours all in one place and keep a separate list of the gift cards and amounts in a notebook.

Diet:

Avoid any food that is white.  Try it for a week or 10 days.  That includes white bread, potatoes, rice, or pasta.  It will make a huge difference in your calories count and your fat burning ability.

Beauty:

Drink lots of water. That means at least 8 glasses of water a day. Drinking water is one of the best ways to keep your skin healthy. Water helps to hydrate the skin and move waste and nutrients through the system.

Beauty Tip #2:  Just because it's winter don't skip the sun screen.  

Exercise:

Make it Fun – If you don't enjoy what you are doing, you won't stay with it.  Make it simple.

Inspiration:

The ability to convert ideas to things is the secret to outward success.
Henry Ward Beecher
