How much exercise do you get at your job? Buy a pedometer and wear it daily
to see if you have an active or inactive job. You should get at least
10,000 steps per day. How far off are you?
*2000 – 2500 steps equates to approximately 100 calories burned.

weight”.

Eat veggies with your meal! Why you ask? “Eating veggies actually makes
you feel fuller so you end up eating less.”
~ Katherine Tallmadge, RD
Use Pam or some other cooking spray instead of margarine and you will SAVE
about 100 calories. Saving calories is good. If you eat 100 less calories
a day for one year, you will drop about 10 pounds by the end of the year.
The same is true going the opposite direction. Eat 100 more calories a day
for one year and you will be approximately 10 pounds heavier at the end of
the year.
Do
you have a stationary bike? Ride it while you talk on the phone. Even a
slow speed will burn some calories.
