avoid high-calorie breakfast traps

Nearly everyone slimmers must know by now that sticking to a diet and eating out are two things that automatically rule each other out most of the time. Still, that is not to say that they can’t coexist with a little self-control and some willpower, and as long as we know which are the traps ahead of us and how to avoid them. Erin from FBG, with experience in the restaurant industry and on dieting in general, knows just where to look to spot and avoid these traps without adding a single inch to our waistline.

Eating out is dangerous in terms of calories because we often realize just how much we’re ordering, and on account of the fact that there is the temptation to ask for the most delicious sounding items on the menu. Understandably, because of this, having dinner out becomes an unattainable dream when we’re dieting, Erin says, but we can still work our way around it to fully enjoy a meal out every once in a while. According to FBG, the first thing we should keep an eye out for is bread, the all-powerful diet killer and waistline enemy.

an embarrasing moment

One of the most embarrassing moments a person may experience is by having a bad breath. Some people tend not to notice that they have it, which causes others to back-bite. Who wants to converse to a person that has foul breath? It might hurt to say, but no one likes to talk to you when you have foul breath. I can say all of this through experience.

At some point in my life I struggle having bad breath. Sounds embarrassing, but I am just being honest. I never thought that I have it. Probably my body is just too adapted to the smell that I can no longer determine I suffer from it. Most of my friends avoid talking to me or even looking at me straight in the eye. At that time I thought I made a huge mistake for them to act that way. Nobody stood up to tell me honestly the real problem. So, I let things go that way until my closest friend indirectly invite me to visit a dentist.

Thanks to her I picked up the message and I realize the main issue. From that moment, I became very serious about oral hygiene and even healthy lifestyle. Plus, I’m no longer shy to ask somebody to tell me if my mouth is stinking or not. I will never know if I only do self-test because my sense of smell may become adapted to it.

limited to only two credit cards

There is nothing more convenient than using a credit card during shopping and travel. Well, that is what I thought it is since I no longer need to withdraw cash from my savings account and bring it during shopping or travel, which is risky. Honestly, I have quite a large amount of debt in my credit card, but I’m not bothered about it. Why? Well, I am still confident I can manage to pay for it.

However, I only limit myself to using two cards. There are lots of credit card offers out there, but I tried to avoid them. The best way I can manage my expenses is to keep my credit cards at that number. Having more credit cards will only lure me to more debts that I can’t manage. So, now I only focus to using two cards and trying to keep it in good and clean record as much as possible.

while working on the web

While working on the web late yesterday, I came across this Tamarindo Real Estate website. Well, it is not that bad to spend a bit of my time to take a look at the information available. Besides Tamarindo is a small, peaceful beach town on the Pacific side of Costa Rica. And we all know Costa Rica is really a beautiful place with tropical climate all year round.

Anyway, Tamarindo is once a secret paradise. But, currently there are hundreds of condos and homes that are being developed. Of course, there is a tendency of overcrowding in this matter. So, the locals keep high conservation standards to maintain the natural beauty of the location despite the development.

I’m such in a bad mood

Ow, I wake up feeling tired, soar and moody this morning. It seems like nothing is going to be alright. And I can’t do anything right. Well, all I want to do now is to lie down and sleep. But, time doesn’t let me because I still have lots of work to do.

I feel sorry for hubby though. No matter what he does to get my attention to him, I just can’t connect and react the nice way. As if we are having a fight of our life even if we are not. Plus, a little mistake irritates me big time. I am trying not to start a fight and be a good girl, yet it’s not working.

Anyway, I just concentrate on looking at these health insurance quotes, and then play some games and so on. All of which diverts my attention. But, it still doesn’t eliminate the fact that I am in a bad mood.

another laptop and netbook issues

What should I do, now that the other lappy, the newer one is already sold. Honestly, speaking I never thought to sell that one the first time I put my hands on it because I still like my old lappy  even if its battery is already useless. However, I realize that I need that item for my younger brother. But, it’s already sold now so I can no longer contemplate about it.

The good thing is that the buyer is also my brother. Since he lives in my parents’ house, he can lend his other well-functioning older model laptop. I no longer have to worry about purchasing desktop or laptop for my younger sibling’s use. Even if that is the case, I am still thinking of giving my sister one of those netbooks. She has been asking me that for a long time now, yet I haven’t done that.

tuition headache again

Yesterday, hubby and I went to the mall to buy some office supplies. We actually ran out of paper and ink that’s why we did not bother even if we are super tired from the wake of my grandma. Arriving at the store, I remember that school year is about to start already because I saw an overwhelming number of school supplies scattered all over the place. Oh my, I need to prepare again for my sister’s enrollment.

From the schedule I saw in the school board section of the school’s website, enrollment of graduating students will be on the 1st and 2nd day of June. That is just a week to go and I am not prepared for it. What to do now? Tuition fees already increased meaning I have to spend a lot this time. For sure, hubby will not let me withdraw money from our savings account. I’m actually having a headache because I don’t know where to get the money.
