Smart Fitness & Exercise Tips to Help You Stick with Your New Year’s Resolution

By Ellie Perico It is well known that some of the most common New Years resolutions are to eat healthier, lose weight, get in shape, etc. So, as my first blog in several weeks (due to a WAY too busy holiday season) I figured I would interview some of my closest friends and co-workers and ask them what the smartest diet and exercise tips they had to offer. These tips come from people that have fought the weight loss battle and won so take them and apply them to your daily life. They just may help you stick with that New Year’s resolution after all... or at least stick with it longer than you expected! Since I got so many responses, there will be a part 2 & a part 3 to this post!

1. Save money and buy in bulk BUT separate out portion sizes into small, snack size sandwich bags. This not only saves money, it is also helping you eat healthier by minimizing how much you eat. If you eat out of the large containers, you will liable to eat much more than just one or even two servings. The snacks that often come in those 100 calorie packs also tend to be not so healthy choices. Instead of eating 100 calories of mini Oreos,

crackers, etc, separate out bags of almonds, dried fruit, whole wheat crackers, etc.

2. If you are not feeling like working out, try and remind yourself of the feeling you get when you are done. More often than not, you feel 100 times better and more refreshed than if you had opted to forgo your workout.

3. Retrain your appetite. Instead of eating when you are bored and when you are not really hungry, wait about 10 minutes before you decide to dive into a meal. It is common for people to eat just because it is lunch time or eat out of boredom. Go for a walk, make phone calls, answer emails and, if you are still hungry, then eat.

4. Try to plan your meals at least a day or two in advance, if not a week in advance. It sounds difficult but it’s really not. Make several chicken breasts on Sunday night and separate them out. Then make some whole grain rice and maybe grill some veggies. Many foods will keep in your refrigerator for at least a week and you can eat these foods as a lunch or dinner.

Make a chicken sandwich on Monday, Chicken Parmesan for dinner Tuesday, fajitas on Wednesday, etc.

Academic Support

It’ll help you avoid poor food choices when you don’t have anything ready to eat at hand.

5. If you are on a diet, focused on your New Years resolution or recently started a strict exercise regimen and you slip, do not give up!! Move on and work twice as hard the next day to make up for it. We all slip sometimes..

6. If you joined a gym, signed up for classes or got yourself a personal trainer recently, try and pay for the memberships or fees up front and in advance. Knowing that you have already forked over all of that cash will give you the incentive to keep going and not miss.

7. Put a mirror on your fridge! When you are about to reach in there for some impulsive eating (boy am I all too familiar with that!), look yourself in the eye and make sure you are really hungry and really want to do that. Believe it or not, it is helpful and helps you confront what’s really driving you to food.

8. Say no to the little things. Avoid eating out of the candy jar at work, grabbing an extra serving at lunch, eating that sample at the grocery store, etc. Little bites like these can add anywhere from 75 - 150 extra

calories a day to your diet. In about a month, that adds up to just over a pound gained (or lost if you avoid them!)

9. Bet on it. A lot of people at work and at places of employment of friends of mine have started a Biggest Loser contest in the new year.

They put $50 each into a pot on the first day. Then they diet and exercise for the next 30 - 90 days. At the end, the winner gets all of the money. If even just 10 people join, that’s $500 you win!

10. Eat slow. Eating slow can help you feel full much faster, helping you eat less at each meal. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the point where your body will tell you your full so give yourself time to get there before it is too late and you stuff yourself silly!

Prepare your car for winter with these simple tips Getting ready for winter is no small feat. It takes time and planning to make sure your family and your home are ready to brave the elements. But is your car as ready as you are? If you haven’t thought about preparations for your vehicle, these simple tips will help you prepare for the colder months ahead. * Check your tires. You depend on your tires more during the winter than any other season. So before the roads get slick, check your tires to be sure they aren’t worn and that they are properly inflated. You should be able to find the proper tire pressure on the inside of your driver’s side door.

Once you’re sure your tire pressure is appropriate, make a note to check again later in the winter. Cold air will

cause the air in your tires to compress and may cause your tires to lose pressure. * Check your brakes. Your brakes will work harder once the icy conditions of winter set in. Make sure they are up to the task by bringing your vehicle in to your mechanic for a thorough brake inspection. * Wash and wax your car at a professional car wash. Putting your car through the car wash during the sloppiest season of the year may seem a strange idea but a thorough wash can remove harmful compounds that may cause damage when mixed with sand and road salt. Experts from the International Carwash Association also recommend a coat of wax for an extra layer of protection from the elements. Besides protecting your car, you’ll also be protecting the environment. Professional car washes can save up to 20 percent of the amount of water you’d use by washing your car at home. They do this by treating and reusing their water, rather than releasing toxic chemicals and grime into the storm drains, which can often occur when you wash your car yourself. You can

learn more about the environmental benefits of a professional car wash at washwithwatersavers.com. * Check fluids. It’s good practice to stay on top of fluids such as oil, windshield washer or transmission fluid. But in the winter, no fluid is more important than your coolant because, if you’re out of coolant, you’re out of heat. Your owner’s manual will tell you how much coolant you need as well and provide the correct blend.

It’s also never a bad idea to keep an additional bottle of coolant in your car for emergencies. * Test your battery. A lack of coolant will stop your heater from working and so will a dead battery. Before you head out this winter, be sure your battery is working properly. No one wants to be stranded by the side of the road with a dead battery and, in the cold winter months, being stranded could be dangerous. * Check your wipers. You checked the wiper fluid along with your other fluids but don’t forget the wipers themselves. Replace old wiper blades and make sure to have a reservoir full of wiper fluid. * Winter emergency kit. Sometimes

all the preparation in the world can’t prevent a winter emergency. If you find yourself stranded by the side of the road, a winter survival kit can be very helpful. Include an ice scraper/ brush, extra blankets or clothes - including hats and gloves - snacks and bottled water and a first aid kit. A small shovel can come in handy if you get stuck and a bag of cat litter can be used to provide needed traction for your tires.

Getting your vehicle ready for winter while temperatures are still mild is a proactive approach to preventive maintenance that helps ensure safety, reliability and fewer unexpected repairs when severe winter weather strikes. By planning ahead you can ensure that your family and your car will be in for a smooth ride all winter long.

Fill Up Without Filling Out When it comes to losing weight and taking care of your body, it’s really about a couple of basic principles: eat smart and move more.

Eating smart – and enjoying it – is a lot easier than you think.

When you add fiber and water to your diet, you’re able to fill up without overeating. Most fruits and vegetables are naturally low in calories and fat.

Many contain lots of water and fiber to give you a feeling of fullness.

Combined with an active lifestyle and low-fat diet, eating greater amounts of fruits and vegetables and fewer high-calorie foods at meals can help you control your weight.

A deliciously simple way to fill up without filling out is to bring watermelon into the mix.

Watermelon contains 92 percent water. Every cup packs a gram of fiber for only 46 calories. It’s fat free, cholesterol free and has no sodium.

It all adds up to the perfect recipe for losing weight and feeling great.

Here are some easy ways to fill up your recipe repertoire with watermelon: Spoil your appetite with a slice of watermelon before your meal. Being mostly water, this appetizer will help curb your hunger by satisfying your Page 4

taste buds.

Pair watermelon with a protein-rich food, such as shrimp or peanut butter, and you have the perfect combination for weight management.

Add a slice of juicy watermelon to chicken sandwiches, or try it on a turkey sandwich instead of tomato.

To p g r i l l e d s a l m o n w i t h a watermelon salsa.

Start a meal with a watermelon soup seasoned with mint, ginger and lemon.

Satisfy a late-night sweet tooth with watermelon sorbet made from fresh watermelon, lime juice and a touch of sugar or sugar substitute.

Shrimp Watermelon Sate Makes 4 servings 1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 1 teaspoon soy sauce or to taste 1 dash hot pepper sauce or to taste 16 shrimp jumbo, cleaned, poached and chilled 16 pieces 2 inch cubes seedless watermelon

The Newport News

1 serving fresh basil leaves or baby romaine leaves for garnish Slowly blend seasoned rice vinegar into peanut butter until completely blended. Stir in garlic, ginger and soy sauce until mixed well. Season with hot pepper sauce to taste.

Pour all but 2 tablespoons dressing

over shrimp and toss to coat them well.

Chill for 1 hour.

To serve, alternate shrimp and watermelon cubes on 4 skewers, and baste with remaining dressing. Serve over fresh basil leaves or romaine leaves.

Four simple tips to achieve your New Year’s resolutions

The new year is here and it’s time to tackle your resolutions! You’ve set your goal, and now is the time to take action. A recent survey by Bing and Impulse Research showed 69 percent of people were all talk last year and did not keep their New Year’s resolution. The same survey showed 41 percent of people want to improve their health and lose weight in 2015. Following a few simple tips can help you kick start your healthy habits and inspire you to achieve your goals this year. * Be specific. Rather than creating a general goal to lose weight, workout more, or eat healthier, set a goal that is measureable and realistic. If your goal is to lose weight, decide how many pounds you want to lose, and set a target date for the weight loss.

If you want to work out more this year, think about how many times per week you want to hit the gym.

This is an important step in setting a goal because it will keep you motivated, and allow you to assess your progress. * Make a strategy. Take the time to think through what it will take to achieve your resolution and create benchmark goals throughout the year. Doing so will help you track your progress and create opportunities to reward yourself along the way. People often spend too much time critiquing themselves or focus on how far away they are from their end goal and forget to celebrate the smaller wins.

Make a plan to reach your goal and reward yourself as you reach your milestones. * Learn your barriers and find solutions. In our time-starved world

it’s not surprising that 20 percent of people say they don’t have enough time to accomplish their New Year’s resolution. Don’t let your busy schedule hold you back from accomplishing your goal; instead, focus on doing a little bit every day.

If you’re on the go, choose a healthy snack like carrot sticks or walnuts to prevent you from reaching for sugary treats. The Bing Health & Fitness app for Windows 8.1 has nutritional information for more than 200,000 foods so you can compare your options and select the healthiest choice. If your busy day kept you from hitting the gym, don’t let that be an excuse not to work out. The app also has more than 1,000 exercise videos so you can work out anywhere.

And if you’re too busy to get in a whole workout, select an area that needs some attention and the app

will suggest workouts that target that area. With this app, you can stay on track by finding a workout that fits your schedule. * Grab a partner. The buddy system is an effective way to achieve your goal. Find a friend or family member with the same goal so you can support each other and share tips along the way. At the beginning of the year, schedule workout dates and active get-togethers. Share recipes or make plans to cook together so you have healthy, ready-to-eat meals. Having someone hold you accountable will help inspire you to keep up your hard work, not to mention it also makes achieving your goal fun.

Follow these four tips and you’ll be on your way to achieving your health and fitness goals in 2015.

Making wellness programs work for your wallet and lifestyle By now you’ve probably heard the message loud and clear: Staying well through preventive steps is cheaper, healthier and easier for everyone than waiting until a health condition becomes an issue. From the government to your own employer, many organizations spend millions of dollars every year on wellness programs aimed at supporting individuals’ efforts to stay healthy.

These programs can be a great tool if they are easy to use, engaging, and provide reliable, understandable information on wellness.

Wellness programs aren’t just for those with red flag factors for chronic diseases such as high blood pressure or tobacco use. Rather, wellness programs are beneficial to everyone including otherwise healthy people who may simply be trying to lead a healthier lifestyle by increased exercise, weight loss or managing stress.

In fact, the concept of “wellness” goes far beyond merely keeping up with your annual physical and taking medications to manage chronic conditions. Wellness encompasses eating right, regularly exercising, avoiding unhealthy activities such as smoking, and being an active participant in your health decision making progress.

Wellness programs, often provided

through employer-sponsored health insurance or through employers themselves, provide participants with information and tools to help avoid illness and injury. But, the path to good health is different for everyone and it is important that programs are not only designed to help the right people at the right time but also to engage people in a personalized, impactful way.

For example, a wellness offering such as Health Dialog’s WELLNESS Dialog program begins with an innovative Well-Being Assessment to better understand physical and emotional health, capacity for change, work-life satisfaction, and health risk.

It then reports on personal strengths and opportunities, offers suggested goals and actions, provides people with the tools they need to realize their own personal lifestyle goals and incorporates fun group activities to engage participants for the long term.

In order to truly make a difference, a wellness program needs to be relevant to the people using it.

Participating in a wellness program can be useful, as long as the program supports not only those who are well and maintaining their current level of health or improving it, but also those who are ill and managing their care.

If you would like the chance to make a wellness program work for you,

here are a few steps and guidelines to help: * Find out what your employer offers.

Many support wellness programs through their health insurers, but others supplement those plans with specialized programs. Perhaps your employer offers free exercise or stress reduction classes, or offers a stipend for health club membership as part of your benefits. If your employer doesn’t currently offer any kind of wellness program, ask for one - keeping employees healthy is in a company’s best interest. * Learn your program’s tools. Most programs offer help lines that you can call and discuss your specific needs and concerns, and receive information on available tools to help you. Your plan administrator may also be able to provide information. Or you can check the program provider’s website to learn more. * Discuss your wellness program with your doctor and ask for his feedback on what tools might be of most use to you. Look for tools that address your specific needs, age and lifestyle. For example, if weight management is a concern, your wellness program’s nutritional counseling might be helpful. If you’re looking for ways to become more active, ask if your program offers advice on exercise.

* Take advantage of incentives.

Some programs offer incentives for successful participation in weight loss or smoking cessation programs.

These incentives are a great tool for tracking your progress and keeping yourself motivated to achieve your goals.

New year, new you, new boat: Insider tips for shopping a local boat show A new year means new resolutions.

Maybe your resolution is looking to spend more quality time with family and friends? Learn something new? Spend more time outdoors or being active? This is the year to follow through on that resolution and discover boating - an activity that can accomplish all of the above.

Boating counts more than 88 million Americans getting on board each year and not only creates priceless memories with loved ones, it helps kids and adults disconnect from technology and reconnect on the water. In fact, more than half of Americans say getting out on a boat is one of the best ways to bond with family, according to a 2012 survey

by Discover Boating and Kelton Research.

If boating is on your radar, getting started can be easy. Ring in 2015 by shopping a local boat show to learn more about what, when, where and how to fish, sail, wakeboard, ride personal watercraft, cruise and more.

Throughout the winter and spring, hundreds of boat shows are held around the country and they provide a taste of the boating lifestyle, deals

on boats for every budget, and an opportunity to compare boat brands side-by-side.

Boat shows are a buying environment with hundreds of newyear models at special show pricing.

It’s simple to find a show nearby with the Boat Show Finder, which locates shows within a 200-mile radius.

Once you locate the nearest boat show, use these insider tips to get the most out of your experience. * Find your virtual dreamboat.

Before visiting a boat show, you’ll want to know which boats to shop. Start your search online with DiscoverBoating. com’s Boat Selector to identify which boat types fit your lifestyle, interests and budget. Plug in your preferences for on-water activities, number of passengers, boat length, price range, and propulsion to narrow down boat options before leaving home. * Make the most of show pricing.

It helps to know what fits in your budget before shopping a show. Use this boat loan calculator to estimate monthly payments, which can be as low as $250 a month or less. Since one of the best times to buy a boat is at a boat show, exhibitors generally

offer special show pricing and other incentives during the winter season. * Learn the ropes. Boat shows provide opportunities for beginners to learn about getting on the water, and experienced captains to hone their skills. Look for shows offering interactive workshops and seminars, including knot-tying, DIY boat maintenance, and docking. It’s not only fun to learn new skills, but smart to take advantage of the onsite training boat shows offer usually at little to no cost. * Bring the whole family. More than a shopper’s paradise, there’s fun to be had by everyone. Boat shows often offer free activities to keep the kids entertained, including fishing, paddlesports, sailing simulators and more. Plus, it helps to make boat buying a family decision, keeping in mind which activities will appeal most to the kids and the adults. -* Look for the seal of approval.

When shopping for a boat at a show, online or at a dealership, always check to make sure it is certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association. An “NMMA Certified” seal means a boat has met strict

industry standards for safety and construction and federal regulations, ensuring the best quality to the buyer. Look for the NMMA certified sticker near the helm and find a full list of certified boat manufacturers at DiscoverBoating.com.

This year, keep that new year resolution to get on the water and have some fun. Whether in the market for a boat or just curious about the boating lifestyle, the first step toward keeping that resolution is to visit a local boat show this winter.

CASA Board Member Patty Juarez, who serves as the Senior Vice President and Regional Manager for Wells Fargo Regional Commercial Banking Office, and current Chairwoman of the Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, chaired the Luncheon and was assisted by a team of nearly 60 women.

The day’s festivities also included trees adorned with “starfish ornaments” that detailed the wishes of foster youth that were available to fund for the holidays.

Guests listened attentively when keynote speaker Debbi Swerdlow, a CASA for the past three years, spoke of her personal journey with her physically disabled foster youth. Consistent with CASA’s call to action, “I am for the Child,” Swerdlow, expressed her continued fulfillment in supporting and advocating for the youths in the foster care system, and how doing so brings a profound meaning and perspective to her life.

The lights went low and the fashion show began. The runway show took us on a journey through a few of the worlds of MaxMara with a preview of MaxMara’s new Resort 2015 Collection. The S’ Collection is designed for easy living along with its innovative CUBE Siberian Goose down Coats. The Sportmax Collection of Resort Fall styles are straight off the streets of Milan and finally the “must have” Max Marra Winter Coat collection quenched everyone’s Holiday desires.

Lunch was served and along with the lovely champagne and Chardonnay wine, guests started with a Butter Leaf Lettuce, Charred Roasted Tomato, Crumbled Feta, salad served with a Oregano-Basil Dressing. The entrée gave us Grilled Herb Crusted Chicken Breast with Organic Faro, Capers and Tomatoes, Herb-Lemon Beurre Blanc sauce. Dessert was even more divine with an Exotic Dome of White Chocolate Mousse, with Chocolate Dacquoise, and Caramel Rum Sauce along with a Pineapple Compote, simply decedent!

Friends of CASA are committed to raising funds for CASA of Orange County’s mentor-advocate program for abused and neglected children in the foster care system. Through the annual Holiday Luncheon, the Friends of CASA raise awareness of the CASA program, recruiting volunteers and long-term donors to CASA. Over the years, this dedicated group of women has been responsible for raising well over 1.5 million dollars that has gone directly to addressing the needs of some of our community’s most vulnerable children.

Court Appointed Special Advocates of Orange County is a privatelyfunded non-profit organization that serves severely abused, neglected and abandoned children through the recruitment, training and continued support of volunteers who advocate and mentor these children, representing their best interest in the courtroom and other settings. Founded in 1985, with major support from the Junior League of Orange County, they serve annually approximately 1,000 of the children who move through the court system as a direct cause of abuse and neglect.

Pantry Solutions for the New Year!

Pantry Space…In any kitchen, pantry space, is a luxury.

Check out what happens when you actually create a luxury pantry. These spaces really show how you can create space for everything -from your food storage to small appliance storage, to even your wine storage and it can all be done with style. At SKD Studios we love a large pantry space but we also know that no matter the size of the space, the configuration is equally as important. If you want a space that not only looks amazing but is practical as well, then check out these photos for some inspiration. I love that they all have doors to shut them off. We can even create a space that is “hidden” from view – meaning the doors can look just like your cabinetry until you open it up into a whole new world. Give us a call at SKD Studios so we cab help you organize your space for the new year as well as create a kitchen with an equally fabulous pantry to match.

SKD Studios is located at 3415 Newport Blvd, Newport Beach CA. Visit our website at www.skdstudios.com for more design inspiration. We look forward to meeting you.

Fitness Facts the Experts Won’t Tell You

By Carolyn Blevins You’re going to be sore somewhere.

It’s just a fact of life and you know it. If you take a person who is essentially a physical lump and that lump suddenly starts a fitness routine, the lump gets sore, someplace.

Even a well conditioned, athletic person will be sore when they incorporate a new activity into their usual fitness routine. Fitness in one sport or physical activity oftentimes doesn’t translate well, meaning that I can run five miles a day and still find myself wheezing my way through an aerobics routine, complete with burning muscles, strangled gasps for breath and thoughts like, “Whose stupid idea was this, anyway?” running through my head. And even with my five-miles-a-day capability, please don’t ask me to walk hills.

My fanny will still be aching days later. I’d rather run a hill than walk it. Why? Because that’s the way my muscles are trained and because of that, running hills doesn’t make them sore and burning. Walking hills does.

Muscles are creatures of habit.

They get use to being used (or not used) in a certain way and it takes a bit of coaxing to get them to adjust to new circumstances.

So what’s the answer to sore, achy muscles? Gentle stretching and another moderate workout. You need to coax the soreness out of the muscles while at the same time gently continue your new routine.

The key word here is gently.

Gentle stretching, gentle, varied workouts and rest periods. If I’m starting a walking routine, I might try for a half mile my first couple of days (based on my current fitness level and my dislike of walking) with gentle stretching before and after.

If there’s going to be any sore and achy muscles involved, they’ll hit no later than Day Three. On that day, rather than taking the day off, I’ll do my gentle stretching and maybe walk a flat quarter mile, followed by more gentle stretching and then take Day Four off.

The burning, aching muscles are caused by lactic acid buildup.

Lactic acid is the waste product built up by working muscles. If you run your car, you burn gas. But you also create waste with the exhaust.

Consider lactic acid as your muscles’ equivalent of exhaust. It needs to go away or we’ll poison our fitness efforts. Gentle stretching, varied workouts and intermittent “rest days” relieve the aches while also teaching your muscles to work more efficiently, burn fuel more effectively and lessen the amount of lactic acid buildup which occurs. The workout that seems to leave you a near cripple today will your “light” workout in a month or two as you fine tune your muscles and they become more efficient and stronger. And don’t forget to hydrate. Water helps flush the lactic acid out of the muscles and allows them to recover faster.

You’re probably going to look worse before you look better. Most of the ladies know by heart that cellulite is subcutaneous fat and that it’s the last to go when we diet and exercise. That’s nothing new to us. But here’s the phenomenon no fitness and dieting guru will tell you, yet it’s true and very logical: Since you lose overall body fat first, your “top layer” of fat as it were, the cellulite becomes more noticeable because it’s less buried behind other fat. In other words, for a little whileyou might actually look lumpier.

Smaller, certainly, but lumpier. But it’s temporary. Keep up with your fitness routine and this temporary condition resolves itself pretty quickly.

But you will be smaller. Workouts build muscle and reduce fat. Muscle weighs more than fat but it’s more compact, sleeker and obviously more toned. As your healthy muscles build and replace the fat you’re losing, you will become sleeker looking. And smaller and sleeker trumps big and lumpy any day of the week.

Getting in shape is ugly. I get so sick of fitness shows and infomercials showing smiling, toned thin people in full makeup bouncing like corks in the water through their fitness routines in brand new matching sports bra and spandex pants.

What most of us know logically is this and yet we still fall for the fantasy: These folks are in a studio with flattering lighting, they have stylists and makeup artists on hand and this “fitness routine” probably lasts all of 30 seconds at a pop.

Not to mention God-knows-what surgical enhancement’s gone on.

Let’s face it: In real life we don’t see too many natural 36Cs out there with washboard abs. I know from bitter personal experience that when you start to lose body fat, the boobs are the first to go.

That’s not to say there aren’t some truly attractive, real people out there exercising. I see them sometimes.

But I also know this, too, at least about my workouts: It’s not a fashion show and it’s not glamorous. I will sweat, I will be gasping for air at some point, my face will be red, my sweat-soaked hair will be plastered to my head and I’ll probably be grimacing. I will, in other words, look like hell. And I’ll stink, too.

There’s nothing pretty, feminine or appealing about a workout. At least not mine, anyway.

Getting in shape is work.

Sometimes it’s psychological work just getting amped up and in the right frame of mind to even get dressed out is tough some days, even for seasoned athletes.

And sometimes it’s physical work sweaty, achy, wheezy physical work.

After all, it’s called a “workout” not a “funout.” But here’s the thing: Once you conquer the psychological work - in other words, once you’ve gotten yourself off the couch and into your workout gear

and step out the door (or into the gym) and get moving - the physical workout will take care of itself. Trust me.

I’ve been an athletic person (running, aerobics, biking and such) off and on for 30 years. I’ve been chubby and I’ve been thin. And during those 30 years there were prolonged periods of inactivity where all I did, and wanted to do, was eat and sit around.

I used to push myself to do better each day - run farther, run faster, get sweatier, “feel the burn,” and on and on and on. I’d worry over form and technique. When running, I’d worry over time versus distance. In aerobics, I’d worry about pointed toes, breathing technique and being on the beat.

I don’t worry anymore. Or very little anyway. Here’s the reason why, the key to the whole thing, and it only took me 30 years to figure it out: If I just put one foot in front of the other, the workout will come.

The workout will come whether I’m concentrating on form or thinking about my grocery shopping list. The workout will come whether I run the hill in 30 seconds or 45 seconds. If I’m in our spare bedroom and jump around for a half hour, it doesn’t matter whether I’m jumping to the Black Eyed Peas or jumping while watching Seinfeld reruns. It doesn’t have to be pretty and it doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be.

Disconnecting your mental self from what’s going on with your physical body can be a blessing. I’ve run big hills that I can’t specifically recollect because my brain was free-floating while my body handled the hill. When you put yourself on autopilot and let your body do with work (after all, your brain can’t run hills, can it?), working out also becomes a vacation for your mind and spirit as well as a healthy habit for the body.

Someone, somewhere, is going to discourage you. It may be wellmeaning and unintentional or it may be a very pointed, specific sabotage attempt. It’s just human nature that we are comfortable with the status quo - it doesn’t matter whether the status quo sucks or not - we, on some level, crave our comfort zone.

If sitting on the couch and weighing 180 pounds is my current comfort zone, that’s where I’ll want to be. Is it good? No. Healthy? No. Am I happy?

No. What I am is comfortable. We stick with the devil we know versus the one we don’t. And I become my own saboteur.

Or family members who are used to seeing you sitting around on Sunday mornings, drinking coffee, reading the paper and noshing on bagels or donuts, are uncomfortable when you try to get up and out the door for a workout. Why? Because you have gone out of your comfort zone, thereby affecting their comfort zone without their permission, and

they don’t like it. It’s not spiteful, it’s probably not intentional and they probably couldn’t even explain it themselves. But it can be threatening.

For women, this concept can be particularly difficult. No offense to men, but the world is generally conditioned to accept a man doing something that makes him happy.

Going to a bar, hanging out with the guys, taking in a football game..any activity which is entirely centered around the man’s pleasure, and only the man’s, is both accepted and acceptable.

But what happens when mom does something for mom’s benefit and mom’s benefit only? You’re taking time away from the kids, away from the house, away from the spouse and making you the center of your universe for thirty whole minutes.

Almost like you were a real person.

Old habits die hard. Old, ingrained reactions die even harder. Everyone will get used to your new routine and the world won’t come to an end. Just be aware that discouragement, both self-generated and other-generated, is part of the game. Don’t let it take you by surprise and don’t let it hang around too long. Remember that the big giant controversy we’re talking about is a 30 minute workout three or four times a week. Keep it in perspective. If you’re not plotting to rob a bank or relocate the family to Sri Lanka, then there’s really no big deal afoot other than maybe bumping yourself up a notch or two on the mental priority list we all have running through our heads every waking hour. Big deal.

And don’t take it personally. As human beings our kneejerk emotional reaction is to fear the unknown.

You might fear your fitness routine because it’s new and unknown.

Your family might be uneasy with your activities because it’s new and unknown, and therefore threatening.

It’s not a big deal in the long run and it’ll pass.

Big, life-altering changes often happen to us a little at a time, building block by building block, without us hardly being conscious of them. I wish you good luck, encouragement and a healthy sense of perspective with your fitness routine. Each step you take gets you one step closer to where you want to be. Literally.

It doesn’t have to be pretty and it probably won’t be. Just keep taking one step at a time - which is really the only way they can be taken anyway, right?

Five savings resolutions for the new year Is saving on your New Year’s resolution list this year? The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Ready.

Save.Grow. campaign offers five saving strategies that will have you moving toward your long-term savings goals and toasting along the way.

“A new calendar year invigorates people to start with a clean slate, so it’s a great time to begin building or refreshing your savings goals,” says Jerry Kelly, national director of the Treasury Department’s Ready.Save.

Grow. campaign. “Since saving for the future can be challenging, we’ve developed a resolution check list to help people celebrate small savings victories one at a time.”

Resolve to accomplish these five savings goals in 2015:

*Grow your tax refund - Rather than spend your refund, put the lump sum to work this tax season.

Use IRS Form 8888 to direct all or a portion of your tax refund into your TreasuryDirect account. If you don’t have an account, you can open one at www.treasurydirect.gov. Tax season is also the only time taxpayers are able to buy paper Series I Savings Bonds, in amounts ranging from $50 to $5,000, using tax refund dollars. * Plan for the future with digital savings bonds - Savings bonds are an affordable, safe and convenient way for people to accumulate money for the future. A savings bond can be bought for just $25 and can earn interest for up to 30 years. Savings bonds may be used to achieve long-term goals such as retirement, college or a new home. If you need your money sooner, a savings bond can be cashed any time after 12 months. * Set up payroll direct deposit - You don’t need a lot of money to start saving and there are simple

ways to accumulate funds. By using direct deposit to contribute to a TreasuryDirect account every payday, you’ll build your savings over time.

The amount you set is automatically deposited into your account, so you won’t be tempted to spend it. * Diversify with marketable securities - The Treasury Department offers an array of marketable securities with terms ranging from 4 weeks to 30 years. These securities can be bought for as little as $100 and held in TreasuryDirect until their term ends. Along the way you earn interest. For shorter term (one year or less) marketable securities, interest is paid at the end of the term. For longer term (more than one year) securities, interest is paid every six months. If you need your money before a security reaches its term, you can transfer it to a broker to sell.

Marketable securities offer long-term savers the opportunity to diversify their savings and take control of their future. * Start your child on the path to savings - The earlier the better when it comes to saving. The Treasury Department has resources to help families start saving for their children’s

future. Parents can set up a special account for their children within their own TreasuryDirect account so that savings bonds can be bought as gifts for their children. Bonds are held in this account until the child turns 18.

In addition, the Treasury Department has a child-friendly website, TreasuryDirect KIDS (www. treasurydirect.gov/kids/kids.htm), with games, quizzes and videos that teach students from fifth to seventh grade in a fun and engaging way about the history and role of debt in America, and the basics of how Treasury securities work.

Ready.Save.Grow. helps people take control of their future by providing information and resources about the safe, affordable and convenient savings options offered by the Treasury Department. Visit the website (www.treasurydirect. gov/readysavegrow), to learn more.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you

should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-609868AL . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.
