health: go for foods with a low GI - have wholegrain instead of white bread. low GI foods keep you fuller and with energy for longer.
beauty: get rid of chipped nail polish and give yourself a manicure and pedicure in a gorgeous summer colour. nice hands and feet are an easy confidence boost.
you should see my nails! they're pink! i brought my swimmers and looked for a colour that matched one of the colours on it. only problem is... i cut my nails this morning. so i have really really short nails. meh. still cool. and guess what?! nail polish was on sale! so i had enough money to buy it. yay!
tomorrow is organising Christmas presents day and Christmas Eve Eve. yay! Christmas on Sunday!
Finding the GI spot!
Foods only appear on the GI index if they contain carbohydrate. This explains why you won't find foods like fresh meat, chicken, fish, eggs and cheese in GI lists. However, you may find some processed foods like sausages or chicken nuggets in a GI list because they contain flour!
Low Glycaemic Index foods (55 or less)
Include some of these foods in each meal or snack, but go for low-fat choices where possible, such as skimmed milk. If you want to lose weight, you'll also need to watch your portion sizes. That means sticking to small servings of pasta and noodles, limiting yourself to two slices of bread with a meal, and having only a couple of squares of chocolate or a small handful of peanuts!

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, in your name I will lift up my hands
