Facts on Cinnamon
I never really thought of cinnamon as anything more than a way to spice up an apple dessert, but this site proved me wrong. The benefits to a little cinnamon a day are outstanding, and adding a little pinch to your breakfast or snack.

ABCs of fitness
Women's Health Magazine had a creative and fun feature on the ABCs of slim. Especially if you are getting started with a health program or are looking for some variety, this is a great site to take a peak at. It may also be a good idea to cut and paste a different letter into your daily planner to keep you motivated.

Restocking your kitchen for the new year
I'm not too fond of diets that dictate cutting out starches, specifically my ultimate favorite, pasta.

Alcohol is a very easy way to wrack up your calories for the day. Before you know it, you've wasted a few hundred on some drinks while catching up with friends. Here is a good article on how to avoid packing on too many when you're going out for drinks.
