You’ll be saying, ‘Hey where is everybody?” This beach is everything you could wish for to relax and recharge. Enjoy the day at this wide amazingly uncrowded beach. Your palapa (straw umbrella) and beach chair is waiting, and a waiter is nearby to bring your beverages. Take time to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery and warm silky sand. The water is like having a perfectly clear wave pool to stand in and chat with friends. But if you want activity, you can find all the toys – snorkeling, sailing, jet skis, etc. If you get a little hungry, make your way to the taco truck, known to have tasty healthy food. Yes this is another one the best beaches in the world! g7dndpmwjiym.png

📝Living the Good Life – Healthy Snacks & Bedtime

For many of us snacks are a normal part of our daily eating patterns. It can be a smart way to keep hunger at bay throughout the day, so we don’t overeat at mealtimes. The key to snacking is the right foods, in the right amounts, at the right times, and in the right places.

It is important to develop healthy habits when it comes to snacking. Some of us snack in the car, in front of the TV, or on the phone, or while we work, and even in bed. Snacking can become so automatic that our brains barely register the hand-to-mouth motion, and we ignore the quantity of food we are consuming.

The University of North Carolina found that many of us eat nearly 600 calories a day, roughly a third of our food in snacks rather than meals. When you snack, you have to consider your total daily calorie limit and then distribute the calories to include your snacks; and to stay within your calorie goals. Prepare snacks in advance so you can choose healthy pre-measured calorie appropriate foods.

“Snacking” is different than “grazing.” Snacking is intentional and planned, while grazing is unintentional and unplanned.

If you are not a snacker that is okay, you still get full points! There are no limits on how many snacks a day you have. We are encouraging you to make ONE of those snacks a healthy one.

This Challenge is not to encourage you to snack if you are not already a snacker. But if you do snack, choose healthy snacks, under 200 calories. Regardless of the number of times a day you snack, the goal is for the snacker to eat ONE healthy snack. The limit to record here is ONE healthy snack.

✔️To score points this week - No snacking all day or ONE healthy snack a day = 10 points (maximum 10 points/day all or nothing)
