Get Active!
No time to get to the gym this weekend with all the yard work to be done? You don't have to hit the gym to get the physical activity your body needs. Hit the yard!
It's easy to burn calories when mowing and edging the lawn, using the weed whacker, pulling weeds or planting your favorite annuals. For example, a 134-pound person can burn nearly 140 calories pushing a lawn mower for 20 minutes.
Step outside and give your yard and your body the nurturing they deserve.

Speaking of gardens, I have zucchini coming out of my ears! We’ve BBQed it, sautéed it with tomatoes once and carrots another time, added it to stir frys, added it to sandwiches, eaten it raw and even made a zucchini bread to take into work. And it just keeps growing! Anyone have any good zucchini recipes?
