1. The North 40
When going to the grocery store or mall, park as far from the entrance as you can, and walk briskly to and from the front door. This little bit of extra walking can help you burn several hundred extra calories a day.
2. Water, Water, Everywhere
Drink a glass of ice water before each meal. Not only will the water curb your appetite and help you eat less, but your body will burn extra calories warming it up. If you're not a big fan of water, keep some lemon, lime, or orange slices in the fridge to snazz it up.

3. What's Yours is Mine
My husband and I shared an entree at P.F. Chang's last week. After we both stuffed ourselves silly, we couldn't believe there was enough left over to feed another person! As the wait staff rolled us out of the restaurant in a wheelbarrow, we were definitely glad that we had shared.
Restaurant portions might be out of control, but the good news is that you can save money, cut calories, and avoid that "so stuffed you feel sick" feeling by making a habit of splitting your meals.
Besides, sharing can be downright romantic....don't you think? ;)
