Nutrition Tip of the Week
Serving Savvy: Did you know a standard serving of most foods is about the size of the palm of
your hand? Studies show that most people eat less when they are served smaller portions. Starting
with a smaller portion of a high calorie food can help you eat less while still enjoy your favorites.

Be brave.  Try new foods.  Believe it or not your tastes change as you grow.  You might not like
something now, but will like it later.  Try things again, even if you tried it before and didn't like it.
The same food can taste totally different depending on how it is prepared.  For example, you may
hate broccoli the way mom makes it, but love your aunt's recipe!

Physical Activity Tip of the Week
Tummy Tighteners:
A well-toned tummy not only gives you a slimmer profile, it also improves your posture and helps
support a weak lower back.  Concentrate on quality not quantity when exercising.  Make sure your
exercises strengthen the back as well as the front of the body and all muscle groups for the whole
body image transformation.

Five Tips on How to Stick with your New Year's Resolutions

1. Focus on positive self-talk. Congratulate yourself every time you take a step towards your
resolution goal. Be your own best cheerleader.
2. Avoid berating yourself if you should fall back or break a resolution. Just brush yourself off and
start over again.
3. Stick to your resolution by considering it a promise to yourself, not a test of your willpower.
4. Avoid situations that put you in temptation's path, meaning if you're on a diet, don't go to the
ice cream parlor.
5. Keep a sticky note in a prominent place so that you see it every day, reminding yourself of your
resolutions. (i.e., on your bathroom mirror, next to your bed, on the visor of your car, on the
refrigerator)
