TIPS
Set goals. What are you trying to get out of your exercise? It’s good to know if you’re trying to build muscle or burn fat — because these are two competing goals. There are other goals, of course, but you should be clear what they are. Also, set goals for each week — what do you want to accomplish this week? Write it down, post it up, and see if you can meet them!
Take photos of yourself. Before and after photos. It is the best way to see your progress over time. But do it once a month, not every hour, you narcissist!

theme – honesty
Definition – state or quality of being honest (honest- held in respect; honorable – being truthful, trustworthy, or upright)
Thoughts on the Theme – Let’s take a look at the dimension of honesty, which creates candid environments. This comes in many forms: a glance, a smile, a word, an embrace, a kiss, a touch. If the world were full of honesty, what would you do? If you were the only person who had honesty, how would you feel? If honesty didn’t exist, who would understand anything? These questions are to be digested to create growth. Give the energy of honesty to your relations, then water with love, and watch how they grow.

RECIPE
Spicy Cabbage Soup
The unusual combination of vegetables in this healthy soup are brought together beautifully with the spices. The Healthy Sauté cooking method makes it light and healthier without heating oils or compromising flavor. Feel free to add more spices and chili pepper if you like it spicier.
