Get LEAN Go Green!







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!
