The Domino Effect

| | | Usually when we think about whether or not we want to make a lifestyle change, we think about what it means to us. We give little thought to how it will affect others, and if we do, we think about those closest to us.
A friend of mine works in a health club. He signs up new members. When he talks to them about their impending lifestyle changes, he tells them they will not only improve their own lives, it will improve the lives of those they love. For example, if Sandra gets in better shape, she’ll be around longer for her husband and kids. She’ll lose weight, her high blood pressure will go down and she’ll no longer need medication. So if Sandra was on the fence initially, she now thinks about her family and decides to join the gym and improve her health. She wants to be there for her family.

Spaghetti Squash - More than Meets the Eye

| | | I tried something recently and figured I should create a post on it. Spaghetti Squash. I had heard of Spaghetti Squash before, but never got around to trying it. I went to Whole Foods a short time ago looking for Butternut Squash. I didn’t find any, but instead saw some Spaghetti Squash. I figured I’d give it a try. It was super easy to make; in fact, the directions were on a sticker that was placed on the squash itself. You just cut it in half, and put the halves face down in a baking dish with a little water and bake it until it’s soft. Once it’s done, you use a fork to pull out the “strings”. It looks just like spaghetti.
I knew that you could actually use it in place of spaghetti in many dishes. So I had it with Chicken Florentine, and it tasted great!
