Secrets of Success

Devote time to yourself!

There are 1440 minutes in a day. Start devoting 10 minutes a day to physical activity. When you find out where your downtime spots are in your day, add another 10 minutes. This can be an easy 1st step into getting into the habit.

Coupon + Sale = Savings

I only use my coupons when things are on clearance or on sale in the grocery stores. You can usually combine the two discounts for added savings.

Learn a stitch or two "sew" you can save!!!

Learn how to do a simple back hand stitch, and sew a button. Just these skills alone can help you keep your clothes in wearable condition longer. Teach them to others in your family, too, so that they can carry this skill.

Truthful Tracking for Success

A tracker is not intended to be a representation of the perfect you. Sometimes we can get off track for this reason. The more truthful you are in your tracking, the more power you have to reach your goal. Even if you're afraid of the caloric content or flabbergasted at the amount of fat- write it down. It can be as simple as "Ate 1 piece of Aunt Sue's German Chocolate Cake" or "2 Pieces of candy from the jar at work."
