Success tips!
Success is when you can look beyond food...and look down and see your feet. To make your hips and thighs look slim on the beach, dig two tunnels under your thighs and make a small dent in the sand for your bottom. Place your towel over the top and sit in the dug out area.

STFU Stomach!
Seriously, I'm sitting here at work and my stomach has been rumbling nonstop. And its loud enough that my coworkers can hear it, and are commenting that I should go eat something. But I'm not really hungry! I just can't get it to stop rumbling. I feel 100% ok too. I'm wondering if maybe the cottage cheese I had for…

Bottles versus glasses
Does anyone else find it easier to drink their water out of bottles than out of a glass? I can put a glass of water in front of me and it could sit there all day...maybe two days...three, but then things start growing in it. But if I fill up a plastic bottle and reuse it, it's amazing how much I end up drinking. 8 glasses…
