Chances are you know someone with Diabetes or maybe you have Diabetes. Poor foot hygiene can lead to devastating results such as amputation of a foot or leg. This is because Diabetes can damage nerve and blood flow to the feet and the diabetic may not realize there is an issue because they cannot feel it or see it. Examine your feet DAILY and assist or remind those you know with Diabetes to do a foot check DAILY.

Bicep Curl for toned arms: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, abdominal muscles drawn in, arms straight at your sides, palms facing toward thighs holding a 5 to 10 pound dumbbell in each hand. Bring the right dumbbell up rotating a quarter turn so your palm is level with and facing your right shoulder. Pause, then slowly lower to starting position. Repeat with left dumbbell. Do 3 sets of 15 reps on each side.

Share the Love and give something away that you no longer use or 'show the Love' as well. Quickly grab some clothes, books (eeek), shoes or old kitchen appliances and either give them to someone you Love or share them with someone who needs the Love. I say "eeek" on the books because that would be the hard one for me but I'm going to do it simply because I need to.

Yesterday I mentioned bartering. Back when we were children we learned about sharing and trading. This is the same thing only now it is on a graduated level that may have to do with our business or because we find it hard to make ends meet. Children know value and as adults, we certainly know value. Gosh, even prisoners use bartering (cigarettes) to get what they need. Put this untapped practice back into practice.

When you have to back track it could mean that you just wasted your time two-fold. This could mean you wasted your time in the first place and now you have to back track, which is wasting your time in the second place. I always say that I'm much too lazy to waste that much time, which is why I think ahead, plan and organize because I have better things to do than waste my time (or others time).

Making chocolate covered strawberries, home-made pizza with the kids and cutting heart-shaped pepperoni's, making heart-shaped cookies or buying your steak and shrimp and eating in for the evening can be a lot more fun and less expensive than having someone else do it for you. Make this a wonderful day for creating Love in your own kitchen. If you are single and not coupled-up, then bake and share the Love.

Choose two (2) of the 'Calcium' foods below
