TIP OF THE DAY - THURSDAY

Clean your home more often. This sounds crazy but it works. First go through all your places where you store foods, don't forget to looks at favorite hiding places too. Take out anything that would work against your diet and weight loss plan such as chocolate chips, snack chips like potato chips or taco chips, candy, cake mixes, frosting, cookie and brownie mixes. Even pie fillings and candy making items, then put them in a box and give them away. TODAY!! Don't leave them in a box on the counter. If you live in Portland you could probably call Joseph and since he is setting up a new house he would probably love the care packages. Then once the food is gone work on the rest of the house. Organize your closets, do the laundry and donate old clothing or other stuff you no longer use, take out the garbage, or mow the lawn. These are great ways to increase your physical activity level. Burns some extra calories while cleaning or organizing your home. Good luck.
