Okay another week of Bit's and Pieces, I've got some shopping tips (what to buy and how to work out while doing it!) plus some ways to avoid over-indulging this holiday season!


From Canadian Living Magazine (Not just for Canadians, you know! LOL)

Even so, there are nutritional tricks of the trade to help you avoid that icky "I overdid it feeling altogether.

From iVillage Diet & Fitness



Shop 'til You Drop (some pounds, that is!)
The mall might not sound like the best place to get in a low-impact workout, but if you're counting every calorie in against every calorie out, why not take the opportunity to burn off a few more? While these tips and tricks won't make up for sweating it out on the elliptical or trying the hottest new workout video, they will get you moving when you might not otherwise have time. Besides, it won't feel like exercise if you're shopping!
