“Here are a few tips and practices I actually use in my own life. Try incorporating some of them into your daily routine for a month or two, and see if you can train yourself to make these healthy practices more habit than obligation.” —Esther, Rouses Registered Dietitian 1. Never go on a diet and never say you’re on a diet (unless you have a special diet for a medical condition, of course). Diets don’t work because they’re unrealistic. You may get results by making drastic changes up-front, but when life returns to normal it’s not uncommon for the weight to return, too. 2. Start with small, realistic changes. Make goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound (SMART). Instead of saying, “I want to lose 50 pounds,” say, “I want to lose five pounds by April 1. I will do this by working out three times a week and cutting out one soda a day.” 3. Plan ahead. This significantly diminishes the possibility of any “slips” and will help keep you within your budget. 4. Pre-portion snacks and ingredients for lunch. Sure, it’s a lot of work on the front end, but it saves time and effort throughout the week. 5. Give yourself options. Don’t plan to eat the same thing every day. 6. Don’t be hard on yourself. One cookie doesn’t make you unhealthy. Focus on eating an overall healthy diet, and treat yourself every now and then. New! GOOD-TO-GO Food that’s good for you and tastes good too!

FLOWER SHOP Our licensed florists are as picky about the flowers we sell as our chefs are about the ingredients in the foods we make. Choose traditional roses or a one-of-a-kind Valentine’s Day arrangement. Custom orders are welcome. We also offer gift cards and beautifully wrapped gift baskets.

CAKES & DESSERTS There are as many reasons to order our cakes and cupcakes as there are ways to customize them. If you’d like to place a special order for a cake or dessert, or schedule a wedding consultation, stop by or call your neighborhood Rouses Market. Pictured, King Cake Doberge
