Being nice to the earth  helps you  lose weight!
Get lean by going green!

Working in the yard and doing your part to make the earth a bit more healthy and beautiful, will create a healthier and more beautiful You! You will want to spend more time in your yard if you make your yard a mini paradise!

Grow some of your own food. Gardening is a very healthy excercise!
Recycle your fruit and vegetable scraps into a compost system for the most wonderful and free "soil". Learn the benefits of using your  fruit and vegetable scraps in the compost system.  Help the earth by not sending valuable nutrients to the waste.  This helps you get outside to get your compost outside and curiosity of how it is doing. Try purchasing earth worms to help the compost.  They really help the soil too.
  .
Recycle your cans, bottles  other things that are recyclable too.  The added energy you spend sorting, and carrying the recyclables will help you burn off those unwanted calories! By getting green you are getting lean!

Plant native plants so  the native animals have a food supply. Encourage birds, and butterflies.  Find out what grows well in your area, and plant lots of it.  Easy to take care of stuff to start with.
Create a paradise in your yard either with potted plants or trees, shrubs and bulbs and flowers in addition to edible plants. You will be wanting to spend more time outside when you have a pleasant environment.

 Walk around in your mini paradise  with your dog  You will both benefit. You will end up with a smaller waist, your dog will end up happy!

      Eat slowly
      Really chew your food.
      Set the timer for a minute and try to race it with a one minute high energy activity such as polish a faucet, or wipe off the table or counter, or scrub a pot. Anything you can think of that you can do with a high level of energy, try to beat the timer! It doesn’t matter if you don’t! Try to think of all the one minute activities you can do to clean the kitchen/race the timer you can do throughout the day. Oh, did I say housework could be fun? Oh don’t worry about that smile on your face!
     Make a list of all the important things that you need to get done each day, add to this list all the things you WANT to get done. Do all the things you have to get done first, this will leave you with a clear mind and the time to get to the things you WANT to do! As you do each activity, check it off.!All those check marks are like a much deserved pat on the back!
    Keep a mental image of the Food Pyramid as you shop and slack off on the items in that tiny tip top portion. Substitute items in the lower part of the food Pyramid.
      Clean your house as though you are having company over! I mean REALLY sparkle your house! Who knows after you get your house sparkling, maybe you will feel like having company over!
      Try to be a little cooler! I am not suggesting you run through the snow NAKED, but a little cooler. Maybe a short sleeve instead of a long sleeve shirt. You will burn more energy being a little cooler.
     Go around the outer perimeter of the store first!Here you will find the four basic food groups! Meats, fruits and vegetables, breads, and dariy.
     Really think about what you are bringing home to put in your body! This is the Key! Don't let your self reach for that doughnut, or bag of cookies or even that one candy bar without thinking where will that item end up on my body?
     Chew sugarless gum.
      Don’t deny yourself! If you really think you need something, get the SMALLEST package. Really savor each bite.
      This is a fun one! I must warn you it is quite silly! Go around your house and gather up the trash out of the trash baskets , as though you are competing with an Olympic trash gatherer! Try to increase your speed from day to day. Did I say it could be fun to dump your trash? Is that a smile on your face? Remember it is okay to have a smile on your face while you are doing an Olympic event, I mean dumping the trash!
     Now that you have the Olympic trash dumping down, try the Olympic bringing in the groceries event. In this activity, you bring the groceries in as if you are competing with an Olympic grocery carrier! Bring your groceries in the house as fast as you can! Try to increase your speed!
      Have a pet! There are so many healthy qualities about having a pet.One of them is that you can enjoy feeding your pet before yourself, and this way, you get to enjoy food twice as much when you see your little friend enjoying their food. The second is that this little furry friend will help you get motivated to go for a daily walk!  Go for it! It will help you both!
      Try to get fresh fruits and vegetables rather than canned. Best yet is to grow your own of whatever you can. This way you don’t have the toxins and harmful pesicides. Food we grow without harmful pesicides is not only so much healthier, it is also so much more full of flavor. Organically grown food is so much better for the environment too! It really is not that hard to grow a few vegetables! There is nothing better than to grab a fresh snow pea right off the patio for a snack!

It is a quide that will help you shop with healthy food in mind, and help you with gardening tips too! It will make keeping that weight off easy, and delicious too! Please check it out now!
