Day 78

Staying on Track
Now that your 12 week program is ending, you'll need to stay on track on your own. 

Day 79

Nutrition Focus: Spring
Every now and then find something new and yummy to add to the mix...

Day 80

Nutrition Focus: Mangos
Today, I'd like you to have a mango. Now, I realize that some of you may not have access to a fresh mango, but if you do, make a point to put that on your grocery list.  If they're not in season or they're too expensive, check in the freezer section for frozen mangos.  I defrost them in the microwave, let them cool a little and mix them in my yogurt for a great snack.  Not only does mango taste good, but it's got Vitamins A and C, as well as Potassium, beta carotene and fiber.

Day 81

Nutrition Focus: Bread
I know what you're thinking...bread? Yes! Today take some time to learn more about bread and why it's not the enemy. I know there are people out there following higher protein diets that may have stopped eating bread. If you're one of them, you can just ignore this. Otherwise, check out the article link above to remember why bread isn't all that bad.

Day 82

Nutrition Focus: Reading Food Labels
One of the things you have to get pretty good at if you're going to eat healthy is reading food labels. Yep...I'm afraid you're going to have to take extra time at the grocery store to find out what you're really eating. But once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature.

Day 83

You did it! Pat yourself on the back and go get a massage. You earned it!
