Avoid sweaty feet! Your feet have about 250,000 sweat glands in each foot that excrete about a half pint of moisture everyday, which is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Wear socks to keep your feet dry and healthy. Here is a great link to the perfect sock for you.

Ab squeezes: Breathe in, then hold in and tighten your stomach muscles. It should feel like your belly button is touching your back. Squeeze at least 30 times and rest. I like this a lot better than crunches and I can do them while I'm typing this to you. Practice this every day and you should feel and see results soon.

Rubber bands and zip ties (cable ties) are a must when it comes to household organization. They also keep your cables and cords together and organized. Surge protectors are also a household must. Read more about surge protectors here!

When you go out to lunch or dinner with others, do not volunteer to put the entire bill on your card and everyone just pay you cash. This is how credit card bills get run up due to ego. This is also how one person gets stuck with the tax and tip. Most restaurants now will allow everyone to throw their card on the table to pay their own bill or split the bill evenly.

Carry your cords in your car, back pack or tote. I travel a lot, so my office is a wheeled briefcase with a long handle. I 'always' carry a portable wifi, surge protector, extension cord and extra set of phone cords for both of my phones. These cords never leave my wheeled office. If I'm stuck in a situation where there are few outlets, my surge protector can handle multiple devices and will insure me a space in the wall outlet. Someone will always unplug so I can plug in the surge protector and now 6 people can use it. This is where someone will always offer to buy me coffee. (winky wink) Incidentally, a surge protector and power strip 'are not' the same thing although they can look the same.

Soups can be about the most inexpensive meals you can make. Search for a few soup recipes that you can make in your slow cooker, then freeze in single serving containers. I make a lot of soup on a regular basis such as - cabbage soup, chicken soup, vegetable soup, beef stew, split pea soup, bean soup, chili, etc. Soups are no brainers and a lot of times very low in calories if you can stay away from the creamy recipes.
