Your Monthly Horoscope March 2010 by Tere Greenwald

Dining Out Strategies - Restaurants don't have to be your downfall!

Restaurants don’t have to be a dieter’s downfall; they can be a dieter’s dream – if you’re assertive with the wait staff and know how to order. Here are some tricks our Biggest Loser Sarasota Participants can use to avoid some of the common pitfalls of eating out.

Tips for Eating Out

Tell the server: Don’t even bring out the bread. That should be the first request out of your mouth at a restaurant.

Be a pain in ass in a restaurant. Ask them to use Pam, no butter. It’s… Continue

Is FEAR of CHANGE Keeping You From Your Goal?

Fear of Change

Fear of change can keep you in a soul-crushing job, a bad relationship, or a physically destructive lifestyle. Ask yourself: Is the devil-you-know approach really good enough for you? Is your life making you happy? If you answered no to either of those questions, WHAT do you have to lose by embracing change?

The truth is, things should be changing — your body is changing, your habits are changing, your attitude is changing. This might be the point where, because… Continue

Little Girls In Green....Killing You With Sweetness??

I hate Girl Scout cookies. Notice I said "the cookies" not the Girl Scouts.

They started just as the first World War ended in Muskogee Oklahoma. That's right, the year of the Russian Revolution, they were peddled in a high school cafeteria. That was just five years after the Girl Scouts themselves got going. The organization is built on the hustle.

I have to admit that during the 1970's I was a… Continue

Scared to Start a Weight Loss Program?

Have you ever wanted to march across the beach fearlessly in your bathing suit? Or perhaps you've been wanting to wear those super cute workout shorts (ladies) or that tight fitting workout shirt (gentlemen) but don't feel confident enough? Maybe you've been contemplating trying a new workout routine but don't know where to start. Well then ponder this, written by the great American writer Mark Twain:

"Twenty years from now you will be disappointed by the things that you… Continue

RELATIONSHIP TIP OF THE WEEK: Eliminate "I disagree"

Make a decision to eliminate “I disagree” form your relationship. It’s an inflammatory statement which almost never leads to a positive outcome. The purpose is generally to make the other person wrong and convince him to join your side. Does that seem loving?

Marketing Tip: People are not stupid, price does matter.

Razor Wars...

This is a bit of a rant, please forgive me.

Just because you have a new product doesn't mean that your target market is stupid! Show respect to your clients by pricing your products within reason or your clients will start noticing and realize that the value is less than the price.

Did you know that razor blades for currently available razor blade handles are between $2 and $4 each! Ridiculous right!? Schick and Gillette are trying to outdo each…

Want to Stay Healthy and Young? Take Responsibility for Your Health!

We all want to feel healthy and look younger as we get older, it is a natural desire. What we need to establish is a daily regimen consisting of eating whole foods -- preferably organic, exercising, sleeping 8 hours or more per night and drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Simple to write, but sometimes it can be difficult to do. We need to make a promise to ourselves that we are worth it and this regimen can become a habit like any other.

Without a doubt, we should avoid is… Continue
