Save Money - Eat Right!

While I was doing my daily scanning of worthy news articles, I came across this site: www.mypyramid.gov It has some things to get you moving in the right direction towards creating a better you, beginning with what you eat!

I got to thinking (again) that those of my friends who take care of their health and eat right often appear to manage their finances more wisely. Come to think of it, that's really hogwash, but it sounded like a great intro! *laugh* Honestly though, people who watch what they eat, who eat out less often, who walk and smile more, generally seem to have "it" together, if you know what I mean. These people traditionally procrastinate less and are more organized - heck, they have more energy so why wouldn't this make perfect sense!!!

Are you one of those people who eats out more than is healthy? Do you grab a piece of fruit, or a fresh veggie, as often as you do a meal replacement bar, or a bag of chips? If you eat too much meat for breakfast and/or lunch, do you cut back at dinner and make a wiser choice? This website has some good pointers on it, beginning with a daily worksheet - it helps you plan ahead (which saves money as well).

How would you like to have more energy and feel better? How would you like to sleep better, smile more, and cringe less? How would you like to save money, while making your whole life better? Stop procrastinating - knowledge is power! Just like your finances, eating right takes a little bit of extra time, and a little bit more elbow grease. But once you get the tricks down, it becomes second nature. Log on for your life, your happiness, and your pocket book. O.K., I'm stepping off my podium now. "Whew!"
