Water exercise
Hey try it you might enjoy. This is a great time of year and water exercise can be done on vacations also.
Resistance-you ca work opposing muscles at the same time
Buoyancy- reduces your weight putting less tress on your joints, bones and muscles. Water fitness requires the use of your "core" (back, abdominal and obliques).
Swim laps or tread water, use some weights.
Remember that you still need to warm up and stretch.
Be aware and do not exercise alone.

Golf Nutrition
The fun of playing golf is great for your body too, but be aware that you might need some extra nutrition to help the process.
EAT before you play. This will provide a steady release of energy while you play. Go for complex carbs and protein.
Eat during the game. You are trying to maintain a balance energy level to get the most out of your game. Carry portable snacks and munch throughout the game. Save the last snack for the 16th hole.
HYDRATION is the key to a successful game. Bring a portable water bottle and fill during the game preferably every four to five holes. Watch your caffeine or alcohol intake due to risk of dehydration. Enjoy these after the game in the lounge.
I am not a real golfer but all this advise sounds good and might be helpful, I hope.

On a Budget..not sure if these words actually go together. Howerver; Mother Earth News says it possible so "I thought I would pass on these hints.
Try to stick to local grown Organic. You know that this product did not travel far or that you might have picked it yourself.
Join your local agriculture project. Check out the SCA program on-line.
Buy in Season and learn new recipes for these grerat products.
Buy in Bulk and share or freeze. You might even want to try canning. (It is said that Happiness can be found in doing it yourself).
This one I thought was interesting and have been looking into. Join or create a food buying group. Try VegFamily.com
Be picky: Check out the 2010 Shopper's guide to Pesticides. Try buying the the worst ones on the list in organic.
ALSO try growing your own. This has been a rough summer for this in Jersey anyway.

Thought of the week
Keeping things into perspective!
With the life that has been happening lately, I am really trying to do this. Focus on opportunities that TODAY brings. Do not get caught up in the mishaps and the struggles. I know I have a tendency to make myself anxious over day to day things that might happen or stew over the mistakes. I am trying for the positive approach in mind and spirit. SMILE and the world smiles back! (was this a song). Anyway a good idea no matter. How are you feeling?- answer with a smile and positive attitude. Give the day the value that it deserves.
