People go to financial advisors to figure things out when it is really pretty easy...don't spend more than you have, save and have a goal. It is great to have someone show how they are realistically able to achieve something. <br /><br />Ann Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-79700808682367683622014-01-29T05:08:04.352-08:002014-01-29T05:08:04.352-08:00Good tip!

I also noticed comments above talking about the safety of Soy, and there is a couple articles you can read on there if you are interested. I've read them. Not worried about soy at all.<br /><br />http://www.theveganrd.com/ This is the other dietitian (they work on a lot of stuff together. I have their book Vegan For Life). She recently wrote a book Vegan for Her, which is obviously just for women. I think it also addresses menopause etc... (not sure though, haven't read it). She also has lots of great articles. (also ones on soy. not sure if you are concerned about that). Maybe you will find these helpful too. :)Ashleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-9326378666606255752014-01-28T20:19:34.851-08:002014-01-28T20:19:34.851-08:00Haha thank you Vicki!

Some people believe we should be on both especially if you have had a hysterectomy? I feel better because I was feeling awful before. It helps me sleep better too. My insurance covers most of the cost. Oprah. Dr Northup. Dr oz. dr mecola Suzanne somers all talk about them and believe in them. My doctor is through Body logic. It's an aging group who deals with all sorts of age related health issues. I really had to think long and hard about taking them because I don't want to take anything if I don't have too! My tests revealed my hormones completly in balanced . I also discovered I was pre diabetic based off screening from body logic. I'm not overweight but had gestational diabetics so that is a sign of pre diabetes. Anyway all in all i like the bios. It's helped sleep, mood, energy, vaginal dryness (sorry) concentration and less foggy thinking. You might check it out Kimberly ? There are Body Logic groups all over the US!

What I've done has been to really look at my fridge and try to make all my veggies easy to use and see. I moved condiments to the drawers and all the food to shelves I also bought some big clear food containers to hold all the cleaned and chopped goodies. It really helps on not being wasteful. Also I'm trying to be conscious of the quantities of things I buy. If I really only need one potato then that's all I'm buying!

I was looking at a government site about the cost of food at home at 4 levels, and I was feeling pleased that to feed myself, the hubs, and an adult child living with us at the moment, my expenditures were coming in at $90 a week, rather than the $112.00 this site described as the thrifty plan.<br />But I'd much rather spend that $90 for a month!
