When the Halloween pumpkins are gone, And the leaves have all fallen to ground, When the air has turned windy and cold, Then Thanksgiving will soon be around. Thoughts of loved ones all feasting together, Pleasant pictures from past times appear To dwell in each heart and each mind-- Then Thanksgiving is finally here! The kitchen has scrumptious aromas, The dining room looks oh, so fine, Decorations with pilgrims and turkeys, And now we are ready to dine! First the napkins are placed on our laps; Now the prayer for the meal to be blessed, Then we stuff the good food in our tummies, And we hope for it all to digest! By Joanna Fuchs

Did You Know…?

George Junius Stinney, Jr [b. 1929 - d. 1944]

The youngest person to receive the electric chair.

He was 14 yrs. 6mos. and 5 days old

and the youngest person executed in

the United States in the 20th Century

In a South Carolina prison sixty-six years ago, guards walked a 14-year-old boy, bible tucked under his arm, to the electric chair. At 5' 1" and 95 pounds, the straps didn’t fit, and an electrode was too big for his leg.

The switch was pulled and the adult sized death mask fell from George Stinney’s face. Tears streamed from his eyes. Witnesses recoiled in horror as they watched the youngest person executed in the United States in the past century die.

Now, a community activist is fighting to clear Stinney’s name, saying the young boy couldn’t have killed two girls. George Frierson, a school board member and textile inspector, believes Stinney’s confession was coerced, and that his execution was just another injustice blacks suffered in Southern courtrooms in the first half of the 1900s.

In a couple of cases like Stinney’s, petitions are being made before parole boards and courts are being asked to overturn decisions made when society’s thumb was weighing the scales of justice against blacks. These requests are buoyed for the first time in generations by money, college degrees and sometimes clout.

“I hope we see more cases like this because it help brings a sense of closure. It’s symbolic,” said Howard University law professor Frank

“I hope we see more cases like this because it help brings a sense of closure. It’s symbolic,” said Howard University law professor Frank Wu. “It’s not just important for the individuals and their families. It’s important for the entire community. Not just for African Americans, but for whites and for our democracy as a whole. What these cases show is that it is possible to achieve justice.”

Some have already achieved justice. Earlier this year, syndicated radio host Tom Joyner successfully won a posthumous pardon for two great uncles who were executed in South Carolina.

A few years ago Lena Baker, a black Georgia maid sent to the electric chair for killing a white man, received a pardon after her family pointed out she likely killed the man because he was holding her against her will.

In the Stinney case, supporters want the state to admit that officials executed the wrong person in June 1944.

Stinney was accused of killing two white girls, 11 year old Betty June Binnicker and 8 year old Mary Emma Thames, by beating them with a railroad spike then dragging their bodies to a ditch near Acolu, about five miles from Manning in central South Carolina. The girls were found a day after they disappeared following a massive manhunt. Stinney was arrested a few hours later, white men in suits taking him away. Because of the risk of a lynching, Stinney was kept at a jail 50 miles away in Columbia.

Stinney’s father, who had helped look for the girls, was fired immediately and ordered to leave his home and the sawmill where he worked. His family was told to leave town prior to the trial to avoid further retribution. An atmosphere of lynch mob hysteria hung over the courthouse. Without family visits, the 14 year old had to endure the trial and death alone.

Frierson hasn’t been able to get the case out of his head since, carrying around a thick binder of old newspaper stories and documents, including an account from an execution witness.

The sheriff at the time said Stinney admitted to the killings, but there is only his word — no written record of the confession has been found. A lawyer helping Frierson with the case figures threats of mob violence and not being able to see his parents rattled the seventh- grader.

Attorney Steve McKenzie said he has even heard one account that says detectives offered the boy ice cream once they were done.

“You’ve got to know he was going to say whatever they wanted him to say,” McKenzie said.

The court appointed Stinney an attorney — a tax commissioner preparing for a Statehouse run. In all, the trial — from jury selection to a sentence of death — lasted one day. Records indicate 1,000 people crammed the courthouse. Blacks weren’t allowed inside.

The defense called no witnesses and never filed an appeal. No one challenged the sheriff’s recollection of the confession.

“As an attorney, it just kind of haunted me, just the way the judicial system worked to this boy’s disadvantage or disfavor. It did not protect him,” said McKenzie, who is preparing court papers to ask a judge to reopen the case.

Stinney’s official court record contains less than two dozen pages, several of them arrest warrants. There is no transcript of the trial.

The lack of records, while not unusual, makes it harder for people trying to get these old convictions overturned, Wu said.

But these old cases also can have a common thread.

“Some of these cases are so egregious, so extreme that when you look at it, the prosecution really has no case either,” Wu said. “It’s apparent from what you can see that someone was railroaded.”

And sometimes, police under pressure by frightened citizens jumped to conclusions rather than conducting a thorough investigation, Wu said.

Bluffton Today - 'Crusaders look to right Jim Crow justice wrongs' by Jeffrey Collins Photo: South Carolina Department of Archives and History

I have had the pleasure of not only meeting one but two legendary hip hop icons this year. Kurtis Blow and Mix Master Ice. It was such an honor and pleasure to have experienced what I once witness sitting in front of the television and by listening to the radio in the 1980’s. I truly appreciate Kurtis Blow and Mix Master Ice gracing Girlfriends Talk with a memory and a piece of history . Maurice Bailey known as Mix Master Ice to everyone is part of the hip hop 80’s group UTFO (which stands for Untouchable Force Organization) .The group consists of the Kangol Kid (Shiller Shaun Fequiere), the Educated Rapper (Jeffrey Campbell) (also known as EMD) and Doctor Ice (Fred Reeves). The group's best-known single is "Roxanne, Roxanne," a widely-acclaimed and hip-hop classic. The group released 5 albums between 1984 and 1991. Still on the scene DJ Mix Master Ice shares with us his knowledge after 30 years ,on becoming relevant, supporting one another and maintaining in the industry. Get ready to be schooled by the old school!

GT: First off I would like to say congratulation to being apart of the DJ Hall Of Fame. Mix Master Ice: Thank you, I appreciate that. GT: How is that feeling for you? Mix Master Ice: That was a special achievement, I was inducted into the Technic DMC DJ Hall Of Fame in the year 2000, which was actually my 20th anniversary of DJing that year too. So you know hard work pays off and God blesses those that grind and really mean what they do. I been DJing for 31 years now and its always great when you're respected by your peers and people acknowledge some of the hard work that you've done. So it’s a really good feeling. GT: I have seen you around the city for years and it seems as if you never really smile, why is that? Mix Master Ice: I’m always focused; I’m serious about a lot of things. Usually I got my game face on. Does it come across, as I look mean? GT: No, I thought it was a DJ thing or something. Mix Master Ice: I smile when the time is needed to smile, I keep my game face on when that’s needed and for me, my game face stays on a lot because you have to stay on your grind. You can't slow down; you got to stay productive in this game. You got to be focused. GT: How are you staying relevant in this game after 30 years as being a DJ and remaining the respect you receive all over the world?

Mix Master Ice: For me, I love hip hop, that's where it started with me, when I was young, I started DJing at the age of 15, I love hip hop, I'm a fan of hip hop, I am a student of hip hop .I was fortunate and blessed enough for me and the rest of the fellas in the group UTFO to have been blessed with classic hip hop records that would help us be able to eat and continue to do what we do in this business. I love hip hop, I study hip hop I watch the charts, I watch the videos shows that come on and I’m always on the internet as well . I'm a student of the game and I still DJ so I play current records as well as the old records. It’s just like work, everybody that gets up,who has a 9-5 , they have certain things they do , well you know for me there certain things I do as far as DJing , then there’s other entities in entertainment and in hip hop I do as well . Basically I’m just loving the culture and I’m always watching what the trends are and what the kids are doing, it’s work, staying relevant is work. GT: I see you DJ at a lot of clubs around the city.

Mix Master Ice: Yes, Pretty much I moved to Columbus, Ohio in the mid 90's and I pretty much done about every club in the city that has hit the scene on a impact and did fairly well, I probably could sit here and name probably an hour worth of clubs easy but I do all the hot spots. Staying relevant, networking, knowing whom the promoters and knowing who the club owners are. Then on top of that if you do decent work, you do quality work, people want to be affiliated with that as well. Just apart of the grind. GT: From Brooklyn to Ohio? Mix Master Ice: I was originally born in Harlem. My mom moved to Brooklyn when I was about 3, I was raised in East Flatbush Brooklyn. To make a long story short a visit turned into a long stay. Columbus is one of the cities that I use to frequent a lot DJing. When we weren't on tour a lot of different promoters would bring me back to different cities to DJ. From the mid 80's to the early 90's I had almost about 13-14 different cities that I could be DJing at when ever UTFO had some down time. GT: It's such a big difference between the two cities. Mix Master Ice: I'll tell you what it is, when things started to slow down around 91, we all start branching off doing our own thing. I continued to keep my DJ campaign going on. Columbus was one of the cities that I frequent a lot, I was here a lot DJing, coming from New York, I’m from the concrete jungle, you know what I'm saying, for real. Out here is where I got my first house. My first piece of real estate that I owned was right here in Columbus Ohio .You get a better bang for your buck here as compared to New York. Brooklyn is in me, that’s in my heart, so I take it everywhere I go. I've travelled the world. I actually love it out here in Columbus to be honest with you. It’s funny because A lot of people do say that "how did you make that transition from New York to here?" When you from New York you want to get out of New York. Just like people in Columbus may want to get out Of Columbus and go other places. So I think what it is, “you are who you are and at the end of the day it ain't where you from its where you at!”

GT: You had one of the largest hip-hop radio stations in the world, Ice Cold Production. Mix Master Ice: I had started an Internet radio station, this was back around 2007, I had launched an Internet radio show that was doing fairly well. GT: Did it end? Mix Master Ice: I suspended it for a little bit to get into some other things. I had got into managing a group at one time. So I kind of shifted my energy into that. I still keep the radio station in my back pocket so when I’m ready to launch it back up; I still got that, that’s a secret weapon. GT: Wikipedia said that UTFO was started in 1984 and still present so is there still UTFO? Mix Master Ice: Well UTFO, we actually started before 1984, that was the year we sign a recording contract deal and 84 was the year Roxanne, Roxanne came out as well .We had actually been a group a few years before that, that’s just when paper work got involved and we got signed. Everybody’s still active. We haven't did anything currently in quite awhile or performed in a while, everybody’s still working on individual projects. UTFO IS UTFO, just at the moment everybody’s working on individual projects. GT: How about your mentors Full Force, do you still keep in touch with them? Mix Master Ice: Yes, Full Force are still doing their thing. Shouts out to them and UTFO! GT: Do you prefer the two turn tables or are you on the computer now? Mix Master Ice: I prefer the two turn table because I love the art form and the visuals of that, that’s what I came up on but now don't get me wrong, I’m not going to be a dinosaur in the gam either. That goes back to being relevant I have to also be able to perform out there. You do have the computers, the cd turntables, there’s all types of different stuff. Technology has changed the game a little bit but to stay relevant you have to be able to adapt to certain thing as well but my personal preference is the turntables. GT: what was your most memorable moment in hip-hop industry? Mix Master Ice: That’s a tough one because I can think of so many different things. Like the first time I heard Roxanne, Roxanne on the radio and what that felt like to say wow that’s me and you telling people and they looking at you crazy like you're lying and I’m saying no, that’s really me. It’s so many memories; it’s just an honor and a blessing to have been in the game as long as we have and to have travelled the world and inspired people. So that right there in it self is memorable to me .How we impacted people and to hear the stories of what we meant to them, how we inspired the youth and things of that nature that’s important too.

GT: We just had the Ohio Hip Hop Awards here. Mix Master Ice: I think it was good for the city of Columbus to have it here this year. Usually they have it in Cleveland, Ohio. They actually gave me a lifetime achievement award in 09 so big ups to them guys, the whole Ohio Hip Hop Awards committee and the staff and everybody. It was a good thing. I came through to support as well. The show was decent, it was a great turn out and I was glad to see it was here in Columbus this time, maybe they might bounce it around to other cities. GT: I thought they did go from city to cities in Ohio, (so I heard) a lot of Columbus local artist said they wouldn't support the Ohio Hip Hop Awards because it only caters to Cleveland artists, did you get that feeling? Mix Master Ice: There’s always politics and different things that take place in certain situations but what people have to realize is the foundation of that thing started in Cleveland so a lot of the grass roots are Cleveland influenced. So I think Cleveland is definitely going to get their shine in there, also Cleveland has a lot of great talent as well. There’s great talent here in Columbus, there great talent in every other city. Just looking at the big scope of things, It’s about getting out there and handling your grind. You can be from Steubenville, you can be from Zanesville, you can be from where ever in Ohio but you have to create your buzz, create your brand as well and use the Ohio Hip Hop Awards as a vehicle to enhance what you're doing. If people feel like that then it is what it is, everybody's entitled to their own opinion and that’s’ cool. Some people may agree with that, some may not but at the end of the day, I think it’s a good thing to support because at the end of the day its called the Ohio Hip Hop Awards and Columbus is always looking to get on the map and sometimes (going by what you said) you have to sit back and look at the bigger picture. There are a lot of things we do in life that we may not agree with, but we do it any way. GT: Like supporting each other. Mix Master Ice: That is what I was getting ready to say. We all got to stick together. I’m not even from Columbus (per say) but I consider myself an Ohio resident now from being here so long but at the end of the day, It’s about sticking together and networking (for the bigger picture) .If its in your city represent, show your support, Columbus stand up and represent.

GT: We also touched on how some of the local artists gain local attention and feel like they already made it. They have that club that always let them perform and they are content with that. They feel like they don't need to support one another, they don't need to step outside of their groups, you either with them or not. Mix Master Ice: Well people have to support one another and Columbus needs to stick together. Ohio as a state is a whole other level. Just in side the city corporate of Ohio, artists have to stick together. Network with other DJs, collabo with other artist. If you want your song to be played then get it to the DJ, build a relationship, just don't try to bully the DJ and force him to play it. Build a relationship, get to know him. If the song is hot the DJ’s gonna play it because we want to move the crowd so at the end of the day give good product. There’s a lot of times as DJs we have to play records we may not even care for but with public deemed you got to supply that. It’s about building relationships and at the end of the day this business is not so much about the talent, it’s more about networking and who you know. That’s very important. GT: Since you are an Ohio native now do you do anything special to shine the light on or uplift Ohio artist. Mix Master Ice: I use to every Tuesday’s night all the rappers will come out and it was free to get in. There was a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place win and all three received a little cash .I always opened up the show like,”look this is not about battling, this is about networking, there’s producers in here there’s managers in here, there’s street teams in here there’s DJs in here, there’s MCs in here, there’s people in here that can help each other. Network with each other, get to know one another. Any worthy cause people know how to get at me and I’m always there to help out. I really wanted to expose them to performing in front of their peers. They might have a great record but not a stage presence. GT: Where the ninja suit come from? Mix Master Ice: I still wear the ninja suit , I am the master of the mix! Mix Master Ice tip for 614:Sometimes you have to designate one person or group and everybody go hard for that one person .Let that one person get in and if they are real about this and their city you all can make it but you got ego’s and everybody want to come through the door at one time. GT: Kurtis blow Mix Master Ice: Pioneer GT: Jay Z or Biggie Mix Master Ice: Biggie GT: What song to this day still hype up the crowd? Mix Master Ice: Ain't no Future In Your Frontin, MC Breed! www.MixMasterIce.com

Protect your Hair, Keep It Simple!

It is that time of the year again when unexplainable things began to transpire. You find yourself asking questions like" why is my hair so dry?" " Why is my hair flakey" or "Why is my hair breaking off in the back and sides?" Well, Ladies you should know by now that the weather does affect your hair. Fall and winter equals’ cold and dry weather that can extract moisture from your hair, making it brittle and prone to breakage. Wearing protective hairstyles prevents the weather from having such harsh effects on your delicate hair. If possible consider wearing a scarf first before hats. If there is a great need for a hat, make sure it isn’t too tight. It is important to maintain moisture in the hair. Also be aware of the collar on the coat. Wool lining can rub away the back of the nape area as well as hats to the temple area. 1.Wrap your hair in a silk scarf. Do it before you go to bed. It will hold in your hair's moisture through the night and help it replenish what it lost during the cold winter days. 2.Apply a leave-in conditioner to your hair. That has ingredients such as proteins and mineral oils in them that help replenish lost moisture in a person's hair due to the cold winter weather or other processes that dry hair out 3.Opt for a hairstyle that doesn't require a lot of heat. Daily heat along with the cold air of winter will most definitely dry out 4.Invest into a high-end conditioner. One that is enriched with proteins and mineral oils like vitamin E. 5.Apply hair oil to your hair daily. Almost any kind will do. Just be sure not to over do it because it can have the reverse affect and also ruin your hairstyle. The right amount of oil is between a dime or quarter size.

• Born: 24 February 1955 • Birthplace: San Francisco, California • Died: 5 October 2011 (cancer) • Best Known As: The co-founder and

mastermind of Apple computers Steve Jobs was a college dropout when he teamed up with Steve Wozniak in 1976 to sell personal computers assembled in Jobs' garage. That was the beginning of Apple Computers, which revolutionized the computing industry and made Steve Jobs a multimillionaire before he was 30 years old. He was forced out of the company in 1985 and started the NeXT Corporation, but returned to his old company in 1996 when Apple bought NeXT. Steve Jobs soon became Apple's chief executive officer and sparked a resurgence in the company with products like the colorful iMac computer and the iPod music player. Steve Jobs was also the CEO of Pixar, the animation company responsible for movies like Toy Story and Monsters, Inc. Pixar was purchased by the Walt Disney Company in 2006 for $7.4 billion in stock; the deal made Jobs the largest individual shareholder of Disney stock. Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003 and had surgery in July of 2004, and was criticized by some for not disclosing his illness to stockholders until after the fact. His health was in the news again in 2008, when his extreme weight loss sparked rumors that his cancer had recurred. Jobs refused to speak publicly about his health, but in January of 2009 he took a formal six-month leave of absence from Apple, saying that his health problems were "more complex than I originally thought." He had a liver transplant later that year and returned to work at Apple in June of 2009. In January of 2011 he again announced, without offering details, that he was taking a medical leave of absence. He resigned as Apple CEO on 24 August 2011, saying "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come." He remained with the company as Chairman of the Board until he died about five weeks later.

Some sources list Los Altos, California as Steve Jobs's place of birth. However, in a 1995 oral history interview with The Smithsonian, Jobs said, "I was born in San Francisco, California, USA, planet Earth, February 24, 1955." Jobs was given up for adoption after birth and raised by his adoptive parents in Silicon Valley... His biological sister is novelist Mona Simpson, the author of Anywhere But Here... Jobs attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon for one semester in 1972 before dropping out... He married the former Laurene Powell on 18 March 1991. They have three children: Eve, Erin, and Reed. Jobs also has a daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, born in 1978 to Jobs and his then-girlfriend Chrisann Brennan.

Steve Jobs February 24,1955- October 5,2011

The Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, the civil rights icon hailed in his native Alabama as a “black Moses,” has died, his daughter confirmed.

“Daddy lived an incredible life and now he’s at peace,” said Patricia Shuttlesworth Massengill, his eldest daughter. Massengill, along with her sister Ruby Bester

and their brother Fred Shuttlesworth Jr., traveled to Birmingham from Cincinnati Tuesday and spent about

three hours “praying and talking to” their father, whose once thundering voice was silenced several years ago by a stroke.

Their other sibling, Carolyn Shuttlesworth, visited their father in a Birmingham hospice last week.

Described in a 1961 CBS documentary as “the man most feared by Southern racists,” Shuttlesworth

survived bombings, beatings, repeated jailings and other attacks – physical and financial – in his unyielding determination to heal the country’s most enduring, divisive and volatile chasm.

“They were trying to blow me into heaven,” Shuttlesworth, who spent most of his adult life in Cincinnati, said of those who violently opposed him in Birmingham and throughout the South. “But God wanted me on Earth.”

The former truck driver studied religion at night and became pastor of Bethel Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., in 1953. Soon after he became an outspoken leader in the fight for racial equality.

Reverend Fred “Black Moses” Shuttlesworth (March 18, 1922 – October 5, 2011)

Sylvia Robinson (March 6, 1936 – September 29, 2011) was an American singer, musician, record producer, and record label executive, most notably known for her work as founder/CEO of the hip hop label, Sugar Hill Records. She is credited as the driving force behind two landmark singles in the genre. The first was "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang, which was the first rap song to be released by a hip-hop act. The second was "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five.

Heel The Soul Stiletto Walk was a wonderful event for a great cause. After the life of a sorority sister Miktosha James was lost to domestic violence. Girls on the grind Shaundretta House Boykins and Latika Larry created an event that would benefit a great cause. Proceeds and money donated from Flat out of Heels sales went to the Ohio Domestic Violence Network and to the son of the deceased victim. This event brought out some great women and a few men and children. Power 107.5 Nia Noell and area entrepreneur and author Nikki Ransom were keynote speakers who came out to show their support for a situation that touches close to home for them as well. Columbus Rapper Billy Gram kicked off the walk after he performed a song he dedicated to Domestic Violence. Although this event was named "Heel The Soul Stiletto Walk", heels weren't mandatory but many showed up and showed out! Walking once around the track of Afrocentric High School. Afterwards snacks, a best stiletto's contest and raffle drawings. Talk about a well worth it good time. Great job “Girls On The Grind”!

One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. One in 33 men have experienced an attempted or completed rape. _ An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year. _ The majority (73%) of family violence victims are female. Females were 84% of spousal abuse victims and 86% of abuse victims at the hands of a boyfriend. _ The cost of intimate partner violence exceeds $5.8 billion each year, $4.1 billion of which is for direct medical and mental health. Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they become adults.

Fall into Fitness! ������In order to really make your workout effective, you need to turn up the intensity. If you love the treadmill, then do a series of sprints throughout your workout. If you're a swimmer, then push yourself extra hard every other lap. Bottom line: Doing slow, easy cardio will not give you the streamline body you want. Only intense intervals will do that for you. Pepper your workout with bouts of intense cardio and watch as the fat starts to disappear. Strategy #4: Avoid Sugar 99% Of The Time Sugar will cause you to gain weight every single time. There's really no way around that simple truth. Sugar is standing between you and your perfect body. If you're serious about looking and feeling great, then understand that sugar has no place in your diet. Bottom line: If you avoid sugar 99% of the time, then you will be on your way to a lean and energetic body. If it's your birthday or a special holiday, then partake in a small amount of sugar, but make that the exception and not the rule. Strategy #5: Exercise With A Professional When I design your workouts, you know it will be good. People who work with a personal trainer get better results than those who attempt to do it on their own. Just look at my clients and their amazing transformations, and you'll see what I mean. Each workout will push you to your limits, challenge your body and deliver the results you're looking for. Bottom line: All of my clients expect to get the best workout of their lives each and every time they train with me, and my job is to over-deliver. Call or email today and I'll get you started on a program that will get you to the body of your dreams.

Fall into Fitness! I'd like to share five simple strategies with you for shedding five pounds of fat before the holidays. But first let me clear something up. Weight loss can be put into two categories. • The first is a fully concentrated effort. This is where

you dedicate yourself to counting every calorie and slaving away in the gym. The pounds come off, but once you relax the regimen your weight goes right back to where it was.

• The second is a combination of simple lifestyle changes. This is where you change a few key factors about what you eat and how you exercise, without making it a fulltime job. This type of weight loss is gradual and permanent, since you are able to maintain it long term.

The five simple strategies below all fall into the lifestyle change category. These strategies may seem ridiculously simple, but do them over an extended period of time and you will see amazing, permanent results. Strategy #1: Ditch Your Diet Soda Studies are coming out that link diet soda to weight gain. Researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio concluded that those who drank two or more diet soft drinks a day had the largest waistline increases—about five times more than that of non-drinkers. They stated, "Data from this and other prospective studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas as healthy alternatives may be ill-advised: they may be free of calories, but not of consequences." Bottom line: Artificial sweeteners are addictive, lead to waistline increases, and cause you to crave sugary foods. By cutting diet soda out of your daily routine, and replacing it with water, you will lose inches and pounds—effortlessly. Strategy #2: Swap Sandwich Bread for Lettuce Move over bread, lettuce is better. It's time to re-define your sandwich. While bread has tradition on its side, lettuce wraps offer you weight loss and increased energy. Try my Tasty Tuna Lettuce Wraps recipe below. Bottom line: Eating bread and other starchy foods always leads to extra pounds, so change your ways. Swap your sandwich bread for lettuce for 30 days and see how much you will effortlessly lose. I bet you'll feel more energetic after lunch too. Strategy #3: Trade Slow Cardio for Intense Intervals Doing slow cardio will not give you results.

Who needs bread weighing them down? These tasty tuna lettuce wraps are so much better than a traditional tuna sandwich, and will leave you feeling light and lean. Use wild-caught Albacore Tuna packed in water. Servings: 2 ������Here's what you need... • 1 (5oz) can Albacore Tuna, packed in

water • 3 celery stalks, diced • 1 Tablespoon relish • 2 Tablespoons light mayonnaise • 2 teaspoons mustard • 2 teaspoons dried dill weed, plus more

for garnish • dash of freshly ground pepper • 1/2 cup purple cabbage, shredded • 4-6 butter head lettuce leaves, washed 1. In a medium bowl, flake the drained

tuna with fork. Add celery, relish, mayo, mustard, dill and pepper. Mix well.

2. Place lettuce leaves on plates, evenly divide cabbage on the leaves and then fill with tuna mixture. Sprinkle with dried dill weed.
