Leftovers Again

A new start to the work week and you hit the ground running. The family may frown at eating Sunday's meal again tonight. But with the price of groceries, leftovers should not go to waste. Think outside the box and see what you can add to step the meal up a notch. Get the kids involved as you raid the refrigerator for ideas. I bet everyone will enjoy the leftovers after all. Yummy!

3 Healthy Tips Just for You!

Here are 3 healthy tips that reap plenty of benefits:

1. As the weather starts to cool, step up your walking program with early morning or evening walks. The hot summer months may have slowed down getting out often due to the heat. Get back in stride!
2. For portion control at mealtime, use a salad-size plate. This helps keep you from filling the plate with too much food.
3. If you feel sluggish while working, step away from your desk or office for a few minutes. If you can, go outside for some fresh air and drink plenty of water for hydration. Skip the chips or sweets.

Every little bit of healthy eating and exercise is beneficial for all of us.

Vacation Meals Tip

Here is a good tip to save on the meal budget during your vacation. Plan to stay at a hotel that offers a free complimentary breakfast each morning. There are plenty of hotel sites that describe all the amenities offered at their location. Perform a Google search to find the hotels where you will be vacationing. Start your day with a stop at the complimentary breakfast bar usually located in the hotel lobby before you set off for sightseeing. The fare varies, but you can bet it will include hot coffee to enjoy. This will be one meal where you won't have to spend any money. Cool Savings!

TGIF Tips

• For portion control during mealtime, use salad size plates for meals. This will help filling the plate with too much food.
• Don't forget to wipe down the leaves on artificial trees and flowers during spring cleaning. The winter heat causes lots of dust to settle.
• Planning day of errands ->take a few minutes to map out where you will shop so that you can determine which stores are near each other. Saves on gas!
