FOR WOMEN
“If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.” ~~ Nora Roberts, Author
Tip of the week: Substitute some (or all) of your TV watching time with a pleasant walk with friends or just yourself.
For Your Health
Eating right is this week’s health topic. The right diet can help you feel good, look great, promote your health, and prevent disease. Not only is what you eat important, but so is how much you eat. Check out the Mayo Clinic’s Sizing Up a Serving Slideshow (http://www.mayoclinic.com/invoke.cfm?objectid=1F7E8CF3-0B32-4AF2-878A4F3AEF496B58) to better understand what a serving size looks like.
