A decent pedometer will show number of calories burned whether running or walking, steps or strides per minute, total time exercising and a week of history. You can have all of this for about $25.00. Small and unobtrusive with zero downloading.

It is not the gadget but the commitment and actions of the wearer. I am not impressed.

I was thinking about some scrapple for breakfast... BLT for a snack and then fried chicken and a full slab of BBQ ribs for lunch. Might have a few pounds of Pizza Hut pasts for dinner to go with my large Pan Pizza with 5 cheeses on it.
Some Cold Stone Creamery for dessert should finish out my day.
Oh, and a Diet Coke!

The Bodybugg gives you constant feedback as you exercise. The digital display allows you to know at any given moment throughout the day how many calories that you have burned. It's feels like having a trainer with you during the day. It has kept me motivated and I have lost 7% bodyfat!

The bodybugg syncs with your computer wirelessly to update the Web program and you can see a graph of your activity throughout the day. The digital display will alert you with a beep when you have met your calorie burn goal for the day and this keeps you motivated. If you are serious about losing weight I HIGHLY recommend the Bodybugg. It does much more than count calories! If you want more info you can contact me at alexismya@gmail.com.

John Stossel used to say Give Me A Break but to get to the point, from time immemorial, humans have consumed herbs as their foods to help maintain a healthy balance, intuitively understanding the power and importance of herbal cleansing. In addition to herbs, one of our most basic and natural food is fruit, which is one of Earth's many delicious gifts and is generally even more cleansing in its nature. Living a healthy and balanced lifestyle is one of our greatest challenges in our world of modern stresses. A lifestyle that includes plenty of sunshine, exercise and activities such as Yoga, Tai Chi, and meditation help one to mentally detox, to deal with stress, and feeds the soul. We believe that supplementing one’s diet with such things as electrolytes, antioxidants, probiotics, vitamins and minerals along with an occasional cleanse, supports vitality, helps balance weight and energy for an active lifestyle and a long healthy life. You can join a program to be on a journey to find a deeper understanding of self and expanding understanding of down to earth natural ways of living no matter where you are; uptown, downtown, in suburbia or the country. Arise & Shine is a company that began in 1986 when explorers made an herbal expedition throughout the Southwestern United States of America that ended in a meadow deep in the Sierra Mountains. After dining for a time on fresh raw herbs gathered in that meadow he discovered a formula for internal cleansing that has been setting the standard for more than 20 years now. With their new look they are adding a whole set of complimentary resources for cleansers and those who want to enjoy better health naturally. You can explore, check the periodicals often and offer your input, insights and successesand enjoy nature's richest bounty. The founder of the company says to Cultivate Love and Joy for Healing Love and joy can be cultivated to such a degree that you can experience Heaven On Earth.

Our family is posting an article on the blog that we got from the internet that can be an addendum to some of our articles. There are congruent perspectives here.
Hot Dog Sales at Giant in Colesville
Our volunteers have had great fun with these events. Giant Food Stores has asked Manna to participate in another one of its grand reopening celebrations. This time we'll be at 13490 New Hampshire Ave. in Colesville MD on November 7 and 8 from 11am-4pm. We need at least two volunteers for each day. There is no cooking involved! Giant provides everything, our volunteers sell the hot dogs and sodas and Manna benefits from the proceeds. We have been amazed at how much money our volunteers have raised. Please note that students under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Special Event - Alternative Gift Fair
Manna has been invited to participate in an Alternative Gift Fair on Saturday, December 6 with a select group of community organizations. The Fair will take place in Bethesda from 10am-2pm. This is an opportunity to spread the word about the important work Manna does and collect donations to support our efforts to end the experience of hunger for our neighbors. We are looking for a volunteer or two who love to meet new people and are willing to represent Manna in this way.
Bulk Mail Helper
Manna sends out five bulk mailings each year with help from an amazing team of volunteers. We'd like to get some extra help for our fearless leader. We are seeking a volunteer who is available during the weekday five times throughout the year to work with this group and learn the ins and outs of bulk mail. This is a great way to make a big contribution on an ocassional basis.
Box Packing Opportunities
Have you heard that we are serving 35% more households than last year at this time? We need to pack more boxes of non-perishable food than ever before. We now have four box packing events each month that are open for you to pitch in and get these boxes ready for our clients.
1. Second Thursday 7pm
2. Second Saturday 9am (Primarily for students and their families)
3. Third Monday 7pm
4. Fourth Thursday 7pm
Reservations are required to participate. We begin taking reservations on the first day of the month before the event. For example, on November 1 we will begin taking reservations for the December events. All October and November events are now full. These events are so much fun! They usually last between 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Come out and give us a hand! Students under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Your support and participation mean a lot to us. Demand for our services is increasing and your support enables us to meet this demand. Please consider taking part in one of more of these activities and contact me to sign up. Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
Angela
