Don't have enough time to exercise?
Health and Diet:
Don't have enough time to exercise? Delegate duties. This goes for both work and household chores. While it may be hard to let go of that old, "If you want something done right..." chestnut, you'll be happier in the long run if you let people help you. For starters, make a chart with household tasks and divvy up the responsibilities among family members.
Fitness:
Where in your life can you plant something? Bond with your neighbors at a nearby community garden or join in on a city beautification day. If you have your own garden, plant the most beautiful flowers and plants. Go for plants that are easy to take care of (sunflowers are really easy). A garden is a gift both to you and the insects, birds, and neighbors around you. If you're feeling ambitious, try planting some edibles, such as lettuce, tomatoes, or strawberries
Health and Diet:
Leftovers are great when you don't feel like cooking or need something quick. But how long do they stay good? If you keep them in the refrigerator too long, they can harbor bacteria. Cooked fresh vegetables, cooked meats, poultry and fish will last for 3 to 4 days. Keep all foods stored properly and refrigerated below 40 degrees F! And, remember to refrigerate foods quickly after getting them home!
Fitness:
Most people can and should exercise. However, there are individuals who should get their doctor's permission prior to beginning an exercise program. Anyone with an unstable medical condition will want to seek an exercise prescription from their doctor. Injury may also require an individual to wait for the healing to be complete prior to beginning exercise. If you have cardiac, pulmonary or metabolic disease, you should begin your exercise in a medically supervised environment
Health and Diet:
If you've added lightweight training to your exercise regimen, remember that muscle weighs more than fat. If you are weighing yourself and the weight on the scale remains the same, that doesn't mean you aren't accomplishing anything. You may be losing inches and gaining muscle mass. Overall, you will be decreasing your total body fat and replacing it with lean muscle!
Fitness:
Surprise a client, a friend, an associate, or your partner by using the old-fashioned method of communication: Show up in person and hand deliver a message. Yes, of course, your time is extremely valuable, but every once in a while show your face; give your e-mail, voice mail, fax machine, cellular phone, and your express mail carrier a rest. Think of all the calories you can burn throughout the day by doing incidental walking from person to person, desk to desk or floor to floor.
