Okay 
anyone that knows me knows well I'm... fruggle-not cheap but" fruggle". I dont mind spending money, Im just not a fan of throwing it away. Anyhow I say that to say this...most of my friends and family know I practically live at staples( and I love a staples gift card as gifts more than just about anything...hint hint LOL) I go there for alot of my business needs, journals, supplies, boards pens, notebooks you name it its there.

| Me and the Richani shes going to kill me:) |
So I am there at least 3-4x a week picking up something..maybe I should get stock in Staples..hmm. Im there so much that I know all the workers and managers names and they know mine. We joke and have a good time..its always buzzing and the atmosphere is pleasant. Ive been hounding them to get to my fit camp, all in due time...(actually one of the managers stopped me the other day and wanted some info... that reminds me I need to email her).. anywho I digress from my point.
Onward...there is also an Office Depot about the same distance from my house and there prices tend to be a little cheaper than Staples. So the frugglness in me ( I know thats not a word) sometimes goes to Office Depot.
The other day I go there even though I intended to go to staples but it was out of convenience that I went. I go inside and it dead as a door knob. Which could be to my advantage I can get in and out. so I picked up a few things and headed to the Copy Center ( my favorite place in Staples) sometimes at Staples Ill go behind the counter and help out when they are busy at the copy center, really I do, I probably shouldnt say thatm but its fun.
So I go over and talk to the guy and he is very helpful and he is hooking up my certificates for me. Well in mid shift they change and this woman who evidently hates her job or life or both is now helping me. She never really said anything rude but made me feel like I was burdening her because I was making her do her job. Any how Ill spare you the details but she messed up on a few things, was short with me and just had a funky attitude.
I couldnt wait to leave that place...and her funkiness was trying to cling to me on the way out. So it took me about 15minutes to shake off whatever mess she had going on. and I began to think I would pay 30x more to get good service and have a good time then to save 5 bucks and be miserable.
So the moral of the story is that if you are fruggle like me...pay a few more dollars and get top rate service. LOL!!
But really 1) be aware of your attitude and those around you, they are contagious..life is short we need to love more be mad less
2) It had me examing and thinking about my Fit Camp and how I try my best to make sure everyone knows they are appreciated, taken care of. and get the results they desire(obviously some work has to be done on there part). You do get what you pay for... and lets just say LB Fit Camp is the Staples of Fitness...LOL!
Thanks to all the staff at staples

What foods should I keep in my house...
Hope this finds you doing AWESOME!!
Everyone is always asking me what should they eat most of or stay away from. I always preach balance for the most part. But there are some foods you should eat on a very limited basis. Anywho I made a list. My recommendation is to print it out when you get a chance.
WHAT FOOD SHOULD I HAVE IN MY HOME ON A REGULAR BASIS TO MAKE OPTIMAL CHOICES FOR MY HEALTH AND WELLNESS?
Looking and feeling healthy is created by a lifestyle you design for yourself to achieve your well being. It is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices ...
Organic if you can - Our world is becoming more and more tainted with dangerous chemicals. In an attempt to increase production and capture bigger market shares, the use of fertilizers, pesticides, food additives; such as dyes and preservatives has become so prevalent that "artificial ingredients" are now outnumbering "natural ingredients" on many food content labels. It is the opinion of many experts that this ever-increasing use of artificial fertilizers, pesticides, and chemical additives has a direct correlation to the ominous rise in cancer rates and other health problems.
Organic foods are rapidly becoming recognized as a logical alternative in this chemical-laden world. The focus on environmentally-sound agricultural methods and "sustainable" agriculture is getting the attention of many who are now concerned about what they're eating as well as the environment. Organic food is a reliable and safe alternative to the issues regarding conventionally grown, processed, and packaged foods.

OKay that should get you started. Make a check list if you are eating more things off the limited section then the recommended section you have some work to do. But you can and MUST make the change if you want to be healthy live long and look GREat! Just pick one thing to work on a week and pretty soon your habits will be changing and so will you waist line.
Questions or concerns are welcomed!
