Well folks
It doesn't take rocket surgeon to figure out that the "Tip a Day" didn't even last a month
1. It's SO time consuming...when I could send that time working out.
2. I'm slightly paranoid about copyright. After all it is someone else work I'm just typing up.
So on to Plan B or maybe even G....

Tip #25 Avoid Activity-Zapping Traps
How often does this happen? We wait for the elevator for who-knows-how-long, When we could have easily taken the stairs in the same amount of time. We look, look, and look for the TV remote when we could have easily walked over to the television and changed the channel manually in less time.
Sitting quietly burns about 1.4 calories per minute. Walking at a moderate pace burns about a 5 per minute. Seems small, but add up the numbers time after time, day after day, Turning thirty minutes of sitting into thirty minutes of walking time each day adds up to 39,000 calories per year - or about eleven pounds.
Great. We agree. The extra time you save isn't worth the opportunities you lose to move your muscles and burn calories! Swear off all activity-zapping conveniences today. No escalators, no elevators, no remote control. Park your car a bit farther away and enjoy the walk rather than driving around the lot looking for a better parking space (thereby spending the same amount of time in the car that you could have been walking). Be strong. I know you can do it!

Tip #24 The Colorful Lunch
Quarter-pound cheeseburger: 450 calories
Large french fries: 500 calories
32-ounce soda: 300 calories
Add it up and you get 1250 calories and 45 grams of artery-clogging fat. Yikes! Most of us need only 2000 calories and 65 grams of fat in an entire day.
Today, don't eat a bland lunch that consists only of dull yellow, white, or brown colors. Eat a salad for lunch- and go for color! Choose dark, leafy green (like spinach, romaine, or endive), and top the salad with chunks of crisp veggies like carrots, cucumbers, broccoli, peas, tomatoes, or celery. Add some lean chicken, fish or beef if you prefer, or top it with a small sprinkling of nuts and a sensible portion of salad dressing- about two tablespoons on the side. Leafy greens serve as the perfect medium in a variety of healthy foods. But salads can go awry, so don't eat "taco salad" (with loads of cheese, meat, and sour cream) or add too many fatty toppings like cheese and dressing.
