Stallion habit 75 - Eat Power foods

Learning to love the power foods is important for good health. I myself, wish chocolate oatmeal cookies were one of them, but they're not.

I am talking about broccoli, grape juice, apples, or pretty much any type of produce.

One thing I keep getting e-mails about is the Pure Acai Berry. They say this is the new power food. It has even been on Oprah.

Has anyone tried this yet and had good results?

Thanks,

Stallion habit 74 - Go camping with your family

My four-year-old always asks, "When are we going camping?"

Kids love camping. In S. E. Idaho, there are a multitude of places to camp.

Sometimes we camp at Twin Bridges over by Ririe, which is 20 minutes away. Sometimes we drive up to Palisades. It is very pretty up there.

A lot of the bigger spenders go to Island Park. Just about any direction you go, there is a pretty decent place to camp.

There are still quite a few free places left if you know where to go.

Take time to spend time with your kids while they are little.

Thanks,

Stallion habit 73 - Stay active in the colder months

Every year in S. E. Idaho it gets really cold. This is when I am at my worst when it comes to weight gain.

It is easy to stay inside and eat lots of treats as it seems that we have tons of holidays and plenty to watch on TV.

In fact, Christmas day I weighed myself and thought--something has to change! In the last 10 months I have lost 30 lbs, but now that we are getting into the colder weather, I find myself wanting to slip into the same eating patterns that helped me pack it on, and of course, sitting and watching TV or playing on the computer.

It is important to take mini-exercise breaks--to bundle up and get outside and do something.

In S. E. Idaho there are many places to cross-country ski, snow ski/board, and get out and do stuff.

This winter, set a goal not to pack it on. Watch your weight and be active.

Thanks,

Stallion habit no 72 - Don't worry about things you can't change

2008 has surely been the year of worry. People are saying that we haven't seen such bad of financial times since the Great Depression.

Many people have watched their 401k's drop by up to half. People are driving less, spending less, and foreclosures are at an all time high.

You could let the cloud of bad news just get you down, but, my friends, this is an election year.

Are things really as bad as the news would like you to believe? Don't worry about the things you can't change. What are the good things in your life? Have you noticed if you turn off the news how normal things seem to be?

We need to enjoy life and only change what we can change.

Thanks,

Stallion habit 71 - Pay off debt

In October of 2008, the U.S. has gone through quite a few problems financially.

How did we let ourselves get into this mess?

One thing I have noticed is that banks are getting pickier about whom they will lend money to.

I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing.

Being maxed out all the time financially is just flat out hard on your Psyche.

It's hard on your marriage, kids, and your ability to do anything.

Getting completely out of debt is the fourth leg of retirement they never talk about.

Can you imagine not having a house payment, car payment, or credit card payment?

That is when true freedom really begins.

Thanks,

Stallion habit 70 - Be funny

Have you ever worked with someone who was funny?

I am not talking about crude, or rude, but someone with good, clean humor?

It seems like the work day goes faster when you have people around you who lift you up with a light moment or two, not to mention the huge stress relief when it happens.

Can you laugh at yourself when something goes wrong?

People who laugh more have a more fullfilling life and reduce the stress on

their hearts.

When was the last night you really laughed?

Thanks,

Burke Bennett
