I don't like adding artificial sweetener to my baking....I'd rather fiddle around with the recipe, and cut back on the sugar suggested, or simply eliminate sugar if possible. It tastes much better that way.

Why do they make pancake mix w/ sweet & low? It's not necessary. Make your pancake mix fr. scratch and skip sugar and artificial sweeteners. Simmer fruit w/ cinnamon, vanilla and a few tsbp. of water and use that as a topping

Unless a family member is allergic to a specific food don't prepare separate meals. Preparing separate meals makes one feel like an outcast. Not to mention, it's a waste of time. I had an uncle that had an overweight daughter. He broiled her food, and fried ours. When my sisters and I suggested he broil all food, and serve us all fruit and veggies we were told that we were out of line. As a result, we never returned to his house for summer vacation. Today, his daughter is obese and on oxygen. Family members speculate that she has a metabolism or thyroid problem. With health info at their disposal they still serve high fat, starchy and processed meals. No matter how many times you say, "No thnak you," they try to force you to eat it. If you bring a healthy dish they frown (raw veggies, sauteed veggies w/o meat, whole fruit etc.) Once again, I made that my last visit.

The easiet exercise is walking. Wear a pedometer to count every step you take. I put mine on when I get up and I read it when I go to bed. Try it you'll be surprised how many steps you take in a day. Speceally if you're a nurse.

Relax and destress...from business or busyness...walk barefoot on grass, enjoy sunshine, clouds, songbirds, beautiful colours and fragrances...take time to mimic the birds...and relax...and enjoy. If you're surrounded by winter...get warm, enjoy textures of softness, find words that inspire you, listen to music...and enjoy...and relax! Guess what I mean is to do what slows you down enough to breath deeply so you can value each moment, know who you are and what surrounds you. It always brings me back to centre and focus on my health.

Hi Everyone! I have been trying to take time to play with my kids. Everyday. I would love to say that I go for a walk every other night, but yeah, its not happening, I can't seem to find the time. WE did purchase a Wii Fit a week ago. I have already lost two pounds between watching what I eat and really just doing yoga, balance, and aerobic stuff. Now the trick is to keep it up! The kids part is pretty easy, you'd be surprised how many calories it burns up.
