MY BROTHER'S TABLE.....IS IT YOUR TIME ?

I do not know if you noticed that Jamie Lewin of Washington,D.C.won the UPPY AWARD .....She graduated from George Washington University has a great job in recruiting and is in graduate school.She finished the Boston Marathon with a time I considered great.....She is never satisfied....This works to her advantage.....It drives her To greater success. It is my opinion that we all should look to her.....for assistance and guidance in the important things in life. In addition to the above mentioned activities she is active in the non profit "Back on your Feet" in which she takes homeless people for runs in the hope of making them physically stronger and more emotionally stable....She is a role model for young and old alike So now we come to you.I am taking a leadership role at Brother's Table and I can use all the help I can get. 300 meals daily and 90,000 annually are given to anyone that needs a meal for any reason...We are funded by The "goodness" of people and do not accept any public tax money. Many people volunteer....some sit on the sidelines ......You know your history....If your time has come to be Involved find me and I will help you....help the Table Thanks for the consideration........

FRIDAY FORUM...DON'T BOX YOURSELF IN..

IF YOU EAT FROM A BOX

YOU WILL LOOK LIKE A BOX 

Next time you are standing in line to check out at the grocery store take a look at the shoppers around you.  Most will look like the foods that they are purchasing.  In most cases the bigger and wider the shopper the more boxes of "food" in their cart.  

The  "food"  in these boxes are processed and filled with more preservatives and additives than real food.  So the cycle goes like this. . . you pour yourself a serving of sugary cereal.  You eat that serving and then proceed to stick your hand in the box and eat three or four more handfuls.  You did this because you didn't satisfy your hunger. . . after consuming huge portions of chemicals you are still hungry. 

All that has happened is that you consumed way too many calories and you are still HUNGRY. . . TIRED . . . AND WORKING YOUR WAY TO BEING OVERWEIGHT. 

YOU EAT MORE THAN NECESSARY AND THEN YOU NEED TO BUY MORE. . WHO IS SATISFIED ? ? ?  . . . THE FOOD INDUSTRY!!!  

The simple rule to BOXFREE EATING . . .

DO NOT EAT FROM A BOX UNLESS THE BOX CONTAINS ONLY ONE INGREDIENT

A good example of this would be oatmeal.  The oatmeal in the round box contains only oatmeal.  Frozen vegetables come in boxes too and you will notice that the only ingredient listed on the box will be peas for example. 

THAT'S OK. . ..

 If you can live by this simple rule you will painlessly consume fewer calories and shed pounds with very little effort. Eating food in its natural state will waste your waist away.

FITNESS FRIDAY FORUM FOOD FOR THOUGHT

THIN PEOPLE EAT WHATEVER THEY WANT

They just don't want as much . . . Did you ever notice that skinny people can stop eating as soon as they feel full.  They can eat a half of a piece of cake and leave the rest .  They can even eat just a few potato chips . . . or one cookie!

EAT LIKE A THIN PERSON AND SOON YOU WILL BE ONE.

                              

YOU CAN EAT BIRTHDAY CAKE

But it’s not your Birthday every day.  It's not your family or friends birthday everyday either.  When there is a birthday to celebrate you can eat the cake.  BUT NOT EVERYDAY.  We are writing about a healthy lifestyle and eating is a very big part of living.

If you eat healthy the majority of the time you will feel better, weigh less and look great in your new party dress.

LET THEM EAT CAKE

Here is a simple, guilt free cake recipe.  Mix a white cake mix with one can of diet soda or soda water.  No eggs, no milk, no oil just diet soda or soda water and bake as directed on the box.  Try diet orange soda or diet cream soda or flavored soda water.  Experiment with different mixes and soda flavors.  But not too often!  You won't believe how light this cake comes out !!! It's amazing.
