 Substitute
an equal amount of applesauce or any baby-food fruits
for up to half of the total oil in your favorite dessert

Change
 Change
is uncomfortable and requires new ways of thinking and
doing. People have trouble developing a vision of what
life will look like on the other side of a change. So,
they tend to cling to the known rather than embrace the
unknown.
By your thinking and your approach, you can affect the
degree to which resistance to change bogs the change
down. You can reduce natural resistance to change by the
actions you take, like waking up early morning is not
easy for those who go to bed late, but sticking on to
the target can help you bring the change sooner or later
for good.
It's your responsibility to implement the change. You
can only do that effectively, if you step back, take a
deep breath, and plan how you will implement the change.

 Women’s
upper body strength is not as easy to develop as, for someone with testosterone
running through their system. Still through smart training one can achieve
chiseled upper back, shoulder and burn fat.
To perform a pull-up, you need to place your hands on a raised bar using an
overhand grip, arms fully extended and feet off the floor. Using the muscles in
your arms and back, pull yourself up until your chin passes the bar. Then the
body is lowered until the arms are straight, and the exercise is repeated.
