Do you like jumping? Remember being a kid and pretending you were a rabbit and jumping around? At least, I remember doing that or jumping on a pogo ball or a pogo stick? It was a fun activity! But, did you know that jumping is an incredible workout? It’s a great cardio workout, it’s easy on the joints and it works to stimulate lymphatic flow, which increases our immunity.

Effective September 2012 if you “do business in Texas” - whatever that means - and you have a data breach involving personal information, PI, and fail to notify the affected individuals “as quickly as possible” you are open for a $100/day/Individual fine up to $250,000! The infraction is a misdemeanor unless the information is Personal Health Information, PHI, and then the offense can be a felony! Yikes! H.B No 300, adds some serious teeth to their mandatory notification disclosure law.

The good news was the hackers did not get complete credit card numbers, but they did get enough information including email addresses and encrypted passwords for 24 million people. With some simple effort it would not be inconceivable that the hackers could do some real damage by taking control of thousands of email accounts and by using the information obtained to perpetrate some sophisticated phishing attacks.

Who wants to know some of the best fat-burning foods? I do! I know you probably see a lot of lists out there… “Healthiest foods” list, “super foods” list (which are different from one opinion to the next). I actually have a lot of “best, super, fat-burning” foods on my grocery list every week. One of my main tips for your weekly shopping list (yes, I recommend making lists!) is to think VARIETY! Do you get in the habit of eating the same foods every week? Pasta on Monday, beef on Tuesday, chicken on Wednesday and an apple or banana everyday? Think about meat-free meals and a variety of fruits and veggies. Next shopping day… try kiwi, oranges, radishes and collard greens.
