How many times have you bypassed the stairs for the elevator? Little did you know, you've had one of the most effective workout regimens right at your feet. Scour most gyms and you'll find a few stairstepper machines -- and there's a reason for that. Climbing the stairs is great exercise for improving cardio health and building muscles. Stairclimbing targets the glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps and calves and is a low impact on feet and knees. A study conducted in England and Northern Ireland found that sedentary women who took the stairs up to six times a day increased their fitness level, lowered their cholesterol and decreased their risk of cardiovascular disease over a two-month period. An additional study found that men who climbed at least 100 steps a day cut back their risk of death by 20 percent.

Hangover Helper: 4 Tips for Recovery
Ease the morning-after-the-night-before pain, without resorting to a big, greasy breakfast.
Article By: Susie Rowe

A pounding head, churning stomach and a mouth drier than the Sahara — what were you thinking last night?

You were having fun, not thinking, and now you're paying for it. It's bad enough waking up and cringing as you recall drunkenly belting out "Material Girl" at the karaoke bar — but having to cope with a horrific hangover as well is enough to send even the bravest of souls back under the duvet.

There are no miracle cures for the after-effects of alcohol, but don't despair — there are a few things you can do to get on the path to recovery. And the good news for those watching their weight is that all of them are low in calories. Check out this morning-after action plan.

1. Drink lots of water
When you wake up feeling parched after a drinking session, follow that instinct to gulp lots of water. It will help rehydrate your body. Juice will do this even faster, but go easy on it if you're concerned about calories. Forget "hair of the dog" tactics — more booze will just make things worse (nd chip away at your DPT). Try an over-the-counter pain medication to help ease your headache. (Choose wisely: Most physicians advise against products that contain acetaminophen.)

2. Forget the pizza
Dieters take note: Contrary to popular opinion, there's absolutely no proof that wolfing down half a greasy pizza will cure a hangover. A little food can help refuel your body, however, and food containing fat can soothe your stomach — which is why egg yolks, bouillon and milk are common ingredients in many folk remedies for hangovers. But go easy on solid foods until you feel a bit better.

3. Go for a walk
Any form of exercise will probably sound about as appealing as letting someone jump up and down on your head. But while no one is suggesting a full-on aerobics session, a gentle walk might be just what the doctor ordered.

As Frankie Robinson, RD, explains: "Strenuous exercise isn't a good idea because it will add to feelings of dehydration. But a walk is a good way of getting some fresh air and gentle exercise."


4. Stay in bed
One of the best hangover remedies is to crawl back into bed for a couple of extra hours' sleep. Ultimately, only time will "cure" your hangover, but rest can help!

Project Blue: Jeans
Welcome to part 1 of our yearlong challenge designed to help you look—and feel—great in your go-to wardrobe staple.
Article By: Stacey Colino, Weight Watchers Magazine

Oh, how we love (and hate!) our jeans—and for good reason: “We associate jeans with youth, comfort, freedom, and being hip and sexy,” notes Daniel James Cole, M.F.A., a professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. “They also serve as a litmus test: Being able to fit into a pair of jeans is the holy grail of losing weight.” Indeed, the flip side is true as well: Not being able to fit into a coveted pair of jeans ranks among life’s biggest fashion frustrations for most of us. Consider this: A recent national poll of 1,000 women found that

62% rely on their jeans as a measure of whether they need to lose weight.
50% hold onto their “skinny jeans,” hoping that they’ll squeeze into them again.
31% refuse to go up a size to find jeans that fit well.
These statistics are one reason we’re kicking off the “Project Blue” challenge in this issue. This yearlong program will help you do what it takes to slim down, tone up, and look fabulous in your jeans. The mission this issue? To look and feel better in your jeans starting right this minute. Here’s the plan.

Step 1
Don’t Look at the Number on the Tag

You’re in good company when it comes to the issues you have with your jeans. Surveys have found that the biggest complaints women have about their jeans include that they magnify a big tummy or muffin top, make the hips look wide or the thighs look bulky, make the butt look too big or too flat, or are too long or too short or too curvy or too straight. Then there’s the perennial gripe about the sizing issue—namely, why it’s so darn hard to figure out exactly what your size is. Well, here’s your answer. “There’s no standard sizing in the apparel industry—every brand uses different techniques and measurements to create their sizing scale,” says Sarah Hodge, of MyTrueFit.com. “Therefore, you could wear a range of three different sizes depending on the brand and style.” Translation: Don’t sweat the number; pay attention to how well the jeans fit and flatter your figure.

After reading this…
Hit your closet with a pair of scissors. Cut out the size tags from all your jeans—it’s a democracy in your closet! There are no size 8s mocking you, no 14s to hide from. All your jeans are equal! Now you’re ready to proceed to step 2.

Dreamy Jeans
In a poll of 2,200 women in the U.K., 30% admitted they fantasize more about fitting back into their “trophy” jeans than about getting cozy with Hollywood heartthrobs like Brad Pitt or George Clooney (sorry, guys).
Step 2:
Take a “Jeans Inventory”

It’s time to evaluate which jeans you look and feel great in today. “Looking good happens while you’re slimming, so try to be the best version of yourself and present yourself with confidence,” says Debbie Then, Ph.D., a social psychologist. To get started, try on all your jeans one by one, and use the criteria below to determine which jeans stay in your closet and which head to Goodwill. If you answer “yes” to any of the five points below, say good-bye.

Your jeans are so snug that panty lines or skin bulges are visible when you look in the mirror.
Your jeans are bagging out in the seat or drooping in the crotch or hips, especially after you’ve been sitting.
You have to wear a bulky shirt and tuck it in to hold your jeans up, or you want to tuck a shirt in but can’t because the waist is too snug.
You can fit two fingers between the waistband and your body. Jeans stretch during the day, so the gap will widen, and you will constantly have to pull them up.
You have to use a belt to prevent the waist from gapping. “Belts should be used only for style, not fit,” Hodge says.
After reading this...
Pinpoint two pair of jeans that you feel great in (ideally one dressy pair in dark denim, one more casual in a light wash) right now. “When your jeans are no longer flattering, it’s time to trade up,” says Hodge. “You should feel confident and comfortable in a good pair of jeans; they should be formfitting, flattering your rear and curves, but still comfortable.” Not there yet? Permission to shop, granted!

Step 3:
Stand Up Straight!

Here’s the easiest step of all: Look instantly leaner in your jeans with a 30-second posture adjustment, says fitness instructor Suzanne Bowen.

Stand up straight, lift head and pull chin back so head is in line with neck and spine. Roll shoulders up, back, and down.
Then lift and gently squeeze the muscles in the lower abdomen (below your belly button) back toward your spine and up slightly, as if they were going up one floor in an elevator. “This flattens out the tummy and elongates your spine,” Bowen says.
After reading this...
Your confidence should be soaring and you should be looking long and lean in your very best jeans!

Burn Baby, Burn
Snowboarding burns about 600 calories per hour for a 180-pound man, and whatever your size and gender, when you first get started, you’ll be falling a lot, burning even more calories as a result. But don’t get too carried away, the difference is nominal, though you’ll certainly give your arms more of a workout as you continuously push yourself up off the snow.

Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 105 min
Other time: 0 min

2 tsp olive oil, extra virgin  
1 1/2 pound(s) uncooked pork shoulder, lean only, cut into 1-inch cubes  
1 Tbsp kosher salt, divided

Stir in cilantro and lime juice; season with salt, if desired. Yields about 1 2/3 cups per serving.
Notes
This stew can be made up to 3 days ahead. Just reheat gently and re-season with additional lime juice and cilantro.

Slow cooked shredded chicken with corn, tomatoes and black beans. Prep this the night before

Fall Harvest Salad

Weight Watchers Recipe

Ratings (148)
5PointsPlus Value
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 25 min
Other time: 0 min
Serves: 4
This salad’s sweet-earthy flavors pair deliciously with roast pork or chicken. If you dice the pear ahead of time, toss it with lemon juice to avoid browning.
Ingredients
1 spray(s) cooking spray  
      3 cup(s) uncooked butternut squash, cut into small cubes  
1/2 tsp olive oil  
1/2 tsp rosemary, fresh, minced  
1/2 tsp table salt, or to taste

Vinaigrette  
2 medium uncooked shallot(s), minced  
2 Tbsp olive oil  
2 1/2 tsp rice wine vinegar  
2 tsp apricot preserves  
1 tsp rosemary, fresh, minced  
1/4 tsp table salt, or to taste

Remaining Ingredients  
      4 cup(s) arugula, baby leaves, packed  
      1 medium pear(s), diced  
2 Tbsp chopped walnuts, toasted  
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a small baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, toss squash with oil, rosemary and salt; spread in a single layer on prepared baking sheet, leaving space between squash pieces. Roast, flipping once halfway through cooking, until squash is tender and lightly browned, about 15 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together vinaigrette ingredients. Just before serving, add arugula and squash to vinaigrette; toss until thoroughly combined.

Divide salad mixture among serving plates; top with pears and walnuts. Yields about 1 1/3 heaping cups per serving.
Notes
A medium-size, 2 lb squash will yield approximately 3 1/2 cups of diced squash.

If using a whole butternut squash, peel the outside with a sturdy vegetable peeler. Trim the ends and cut in half lengthwise. Use an ice cream scoop or melon baller to easily scoop seeds and membrane from a halved butternut squash.

Precut butternut squash is widely available in supermarkets and is a great shortcut for time-pressed cooks. Be sure to trim down the pieces to small, even-size cubes or slices before roasting to allow for even browning.

TRACKING- A LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP
​It seems that most people don't "like" tracking every bite they eat. "It's a pain. I forgot. I don't want to write down all those BLTs (bites, licks, tastes and sips). I'm not sure of the calories so I don't know how to track it!"

Cool things about tracking:
You have a record so you can see where and when you have trouble.
You have a record so you can see days that worked well.
You get every bite you are entitled to! If you don't write it down, you aren't sure if you "can" eat that cheesecake or bowl of popcorn at the end of the day. You can ignore the scale if it delivers sad news. You know if you tracked carefully that eventually the good news will show on the scale.
Don't think of tracking as something you "have" to do to lose weight. Think of it as something you WANT to do. The benefits of knowing where you are at and where you are going- and knowing that you WILL be successful with a bit of patience is a treasure!  What an amazing tool!





TRACKING: an ART- not always a SCIENCE

Research shows that most people do NOT track accurately. Some things are over-estimated and some are under. Yet, it often seems to work out in the end.
It is important to take a stab at it. If you don't know- GUESS. Base it on what you do know.


Q.  How do you EAT AN ELEPHANT?
A.  One bite at a time

Q.  How do you learn to get a handle on tracking?
A.  One step at a time. One week, track your breakfasts. The next week take another small step. Try for a little progress here and there. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. You can track just the food without the calories. SMALL STEPS.

What step will you take this week so you can be on top of your game?
