Getting Through the Rest of the Holidays

From Weight Watchers newsletter:

5 Tips to Help You Through Holiday Eating
1. Eat slowly
2. Use smaller plates.
3. Grocery shop on a full stomach.
4. Immediately store food after eating.
5. Limit yourself to one or two glasses of wine.

Cheap Workouts

A tip on RealAge.com reminds us that we don't have to pay big bucks to belong to a gym and get a workout. 

Abdominal muscles join with other trunk muscles in helping to support your spine and pelvis. Getting these muscles strong does not require machines or equipment, a recent study suggests. In the study, good old-fashioned sit-ups and crunches strengthened abdominal muscles just as well as popular at-home workout equipment.

There are tips on the proper way to do sit ups and curls (sounds like Pilates to me!)

Trader Joes' Chicken Fajitas

Another winner from Trader Joe's is their low fat Chicken Fajitas.  A 1 3/4 cup serving is only 1 point.  There are about 2 oz of chicken and the rest is all veggies:  red and green peppers and onions.  Also comes with a spicy seasoning.  Saute, throw it in a La Tortilla 1 point wrap, add a tablespoon of fat free sour cream and you've got a delicious, filling meal for 2.5 points. 

The Chicken Fajitas can be found in the frozen food cases.
