Yardsales and Nutrition

So during my podcast spree today here are the tips I learned about how to really do garage sales. They're good tips and make sense, but I don't usually see them when I go garage sale shopping.

1) Deliver notices at least 2 weeks before the sale to notify your neighbors about the date and categories of what you'll sell

2) Have a pre-sale.

3) Collaborate with neighbors

4) Make good signs - big, bold, sturdy and graphically designed - rope off areas where you don't want people to park

5) Advertise off and online - date, time, address, and categories

6) Use long tables - try not to put stuff on the ground - price items beforehand and group things by categories

7) Play music

8) Use a belt pack to make change quickly

9) Talk to people - be a salesperson

And nutrition:

1) Cheat day false. It's all about how you eat on most of your days. If having one day a week helps you stick to healthy food the rest of the week, go for it. But purposefully binging on junk food one day a week is not going to help you loose weight no matter what celebrities do.

2) Water-that-does-more: don't improve upon water. It's not going to do what they claim. Use them as hydration! Learn to be okay with unflavored and unsweetened drinks

3) Grains need balance. They aren't essential to a healthy diet, but it is better to eat whole grains.

4) Eat homemade and home grown. Move away from food processors, but don't take up all of your time trying to make homemade stuff excessively (homemade powdered sugar etc.)

I've decided that nutrition is a lot simpler than they make it out to be. Drink lots of water, make stuff from home, eat your fruits and veggies, and do something active everyday. I don't think you really need a strict workout diet or a food diet. All you need to do is do the simple logical stuff. *oohm oohm as I eat a brownie ;) *
