 Regular back exercises can make you proud of your back, a backless dress can become a grand and feminine option for you. Besides, the muscles of your upper back if well-defined help pull your shoulders down and back, so that you stand tall and straight, avoiding a hunched over look. The added benefit, of course, is that this lifts your front up, too. This week we focus on The Y-T-I Workout for a Sexy Back.

 If you know in advance that Happy Hour is in the cards for after work, make sure you eat a healthy breakfast and a substantial lunch. Get plenty of protein via eggs or lean turkey breast on whole grain bread. Protein will fill you up and keep you satisfied for a long time and this will keep you from falling prey to the unhealthy snacks at the bar.
You will be less tempted to graze at the unhealthy
spread stretching out before you. If you must indulge,
try to make wise choices.

Time Management
 You’re going to have to allocate your time wisely, so be conscious of what you’re doing. This automatically will help you to allocate your time more wisely.
It’s not an easy thing to do since we’re pulled in 50 different ways and we
require less people to do more than before, but you should still be conscious of what you’re doing.
The question you should ask yourself each morning isn’t: ‘How many tasks can I squeeze into my allocated time?’ Rather ‘How closely can I use each second of the day to live my purpose?’
Put purpose in front of time management to make yourself conscious of what it is you’re trying to accomplish overall.
