        When I began my search for summer internships, I was not quite sure what direction I wanted to go in.  As I searched postings on my college’s career development site, I came across a posting for an internship at the Maurer Foundation for Breast Health Education.  This post immediately jumped out at me because I felt a personal tie to the organization’s mission.  My mother is an ovarian cancer survivor, and I felt that this would be an awesome opportunity to assist in a cause that truly empowers women.  I immediately felt at home at TMF.  I was treated with the utmost kindness and respect, and I felt like my opinion was truly valued.  I was made to feel that the work I was doing was helping to make a difference.  I learned the art of blogging, attended a breast health program at Cardozo High School, helped to spread awareness of our Pepsi Refresh Project, and was lucky enough to write a piece for the newsletter.  Through my work, my eyes were opened to the vital importance of educating people, both young and old, about breast cancer risks and prevention.  I came to realize that by simply giving of my time, energy, and talents, I was doing my part to fund the Maurer Foundation’s mission.     

        I think it is so important for young people to understand that they do have the ability to contribute in their own unique way.  Giving of oneself is just as important and generous as giving money to an organization and also far more rewarding.  You cannot help but feel proud when you know that you are truly helping to effect positive change.  I feel so lucky to have been given the opportunity to work with such dedicated individuals who are doing great work for the good of others.

Whether you are a slow eater, a fast eater, or somewhere  in between, we all have our unique food habits.  However, many of our bad food habits can cause us to gain even more weight.  It is important to recognize your bad food habits, so that you can then eliminate them! 

Rushing through your meal – When you eat slowly and pace yourself, your brain has more time to register fullness and to tell you to stop eating.  Chew your food for a longer amount of time and pause between bites.

Eating while you sort mail, shop online, etc. – When we are distracted, we tend to not be aware of how much food we are actually consuming.  Try to measure out your food before you begin multitasking.

Eating when you’re stressed or bored – Try to eat only when you are hungry and not to satisfy an emotion.        

-A fun idea: Keep a clear container on your desk.  Every time you resist buying a snack, put money into the box.  At the end of the week, buy yourself something nice with the money!

Cleaning your plate – Even though we are often told to “clean our plates,” it is actually much better to eat half of the meal, especially with how much portion sizes have grown.  Try splitting an entrée with someone, ordering an appetizer as your meal, or simply having half of the meal wrapped up.

Always having meat as your main course – Use meat as a garnish instead.  Try treating veggies like meat by seasoning or grilling them.

Do you often have trouble sleeping at night?  A good night’s sleep is so important to maintain both a healthy mind and body.  Here are some simple things you can do to improve your sleep patterns!

-Get 30 minutes of outdoor time each day.  It is important to get some bright light because it helps to set your body clock.

-As hard as this is for all of you coffee drinkers, try to limit yourself to one serving of caffeine each day.  It is better if this serving is taken in the morning because caffeine after lunch can linger in the system and worsen sleep.

-Practice a relaxation technique, such as meditation, for at least 20 minutes each day.

-Try to get up at the same time each day.  This is quite important.

-Plan your bedtime to be 7 hours before your wake-up time.

-If you cannot sleep during the night, stop trying for about 20 to 30 minutes.  Then get back into bed and try to sleep again.

Put your knowledge to the test!  Take Dr. Oz’s Breast Cancer Awareness Quiz and find out how much you really know about breast cancer prevention and risk.

I recently stumbled upon a great site called Vivanista.  The site is dedicated to all things philanthropy: from fundraising for non profits to volunteering for the average do-gooder!

Through insightful and creative articles, Vivanista discusses things such as online fundraising, social networking sites, fresh new event ideas and current events such as the oil disaster in the Gulf.  They provide interesting tips from industry experts and even have lots of fun stuff like an article on Voluntourism and a “What Celebrity Philanthropist can you Most Relate To” quiz.

The best part is their event calendar!  It’s amazing how much is going on all over the country – anyone can get invloved.  So check it out and see if anything strikes your fancy ;-)

I try my best to make it a priority to hit the gym as much as possible, but sometimes the idea of going is just plain daunting.  I have tried numerous classes at my local gym and for a long time couldn’t find one that fit my desire to have fun, while I was burning calories.  I had heard some of my friends talk about Zumba classes and they seemed to be quite popular at the gym, so I decided to give Zumba a try.  Boy, did I enjoy it!  I knew that this would become a regular class for me.  The Zumba program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will make you love to work out.  The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat.  What was really cool to see was that everyone in the class seemed so comfortable and felt like they could release their inhibitions.  The Zumba instructors are great at motivating you and making you passionate about staying fit.  Some people may think that previous dance training is required to participate in Zumba, but that is completely untrue.  The moves are very easy to catch on to.  Take my advice and try a Zumba class as soon as you can!

Even though it is still summer, we are already thinking ahead to this fall.  The Maurer Foundation has some very exciting things approaching, and we want to share them with you so that you can start marking your calendars!

-On Tuesday, October 5^th, get ready to tea-off for breast cancer at the 15^th Annual Golf Classic at Meadow Brook Club.  Get a group of four together or even hit the green solo.  It will be a great way to get the men in your life involved in the fight to stop breast cancer.    

-A fusion of fashion and philanthropy, the Black Tie | Pink Ribbon event is a runway show and “Girls Night Out” to be held on Thursday, October 21^st at Fox Hollow.  It will be a fabulous mix of high fashion and haute cuisine, and also the perfect way to spend an evening with your best girlfriends!      

-Are you the adventurous type?  Well, then our Fall Escape is the perfect event for you!  The Social Committee is gearing up for its next young professional trip, so get ready for some fun.  Check back for more details!

Healthy Eating Tips for Summer!  

Fill Your Plate with these 5 items at this weekend’s BBQ:

1. Coleslaw or Potato Salad? Coleslaw

                Even though both coleslaw and potato salad are filled with mayonnaise, Coleslaw is the better choice. Cabbage in coleslaw is dense with sulforaphane, a chemical that boosts your body’s production of enzymes that fight off cancer. However, if you must eat potato salad, choose a German-style mustard-based potato salad instead.

Nutrition Facts

Coleslaw (4 oz): 150 calories, 8 g fat (1 g saturated), 350 mg sodium

Potato salad (4 oz): 180 calories, 12 g fat (2 g saturated), 430 mg sodium

2. Tortilla Chips + Guacamole or Veggies + Ranch Dip? Tortilla Chips and Guacamole

Although Ranch dip and guacamole might have nearly the same amount of overall fat, avocados are packed with heart healthy monounsaturated fats, while Ranch dip is not.

Nutrition Facts

Tortilla Chips +Guacamole (about 12 chips): 140 calories, 9 g fat (3 g saturated), 460 mg sodium

Veggies and Ranch Dip: 160 calories, 10 g fat (6 g saturated), 370 mg sodium

 3. Baked Beans or Corn on the Cob? Baked Beans

Even though beans have slightly more calories, they are significantly lower in fat and pack large amounts of protein and fiber which keep you feeling fuller longer. In addition, studies have found that red beans are among the most antioxidant-dense foods. Corn itself is not a high impact food, however it offers very little for you nutritionally, and butter is most often paired with it, adding to the reasons why you should definitely choose baked beans this weekend.

Nutrition Facts

Baked Beans (3/4 cup): 150 calories, 1.5 g fat (0g saturated), 350 mg sodium

Corn on the Cob w/ tablespoon of butter: 180 calories, 10 g fat (5 g saturated), 150 mg sodium

4.  Watermelon or peach? Watermelon

While a Peach contains 15 grams of sugar (more than most fruit has), watermelon is loaded with potassium and lycopene which has been shown to help fight off both breast cancer and prostate cancer. Aside from watermelon, cantaloupe and blueberries also offer far more nutritional bang for the bite than do peaches.

Nutritional Facts

Watermelon (1 medium sized slice): 46 calories, 10 g sugar

Peach (1 whole): 68 calories, 15 g sugar

5. Filet Mignon or Cheeseburger? Filet Mignon

It doesn’t get any leaner in the beef world than tenderloin, Even if you nixed the cheese and wrapped the burger in lettuce, it would still lose the battle. If you must eat the burger, drop the cheese and choose 95% lean beef. This will cut 250 calories and 25 grams of fat from your meal.

Nutritional Facts

Filet Mignon (6 oz): 260 calories, 11 g fat (4 g saturated), 200 mg sodium

Cheeseburger (4 oz): 630 calories, 41 g fat (15 g saturated), 735 mg sodium
