Just in case you resolved to exercise more....Tip #149
and you need that extra little push...peppermint to the rescue.
The smell of peppermint, researchers say, boosts mood and motivation during physical exertion and improves athletic performance. They suggest that sniffing the scent during workout sessions may give you the extra push that you need to excel.
But, sorry, ladies and gents, I don't think this means that you can exercise while eating a York peppermint patty...
**Alright now, I'm talking tips, head over to see what Impulsive and Shawn are talking about on Talk to us Tuesday!**

That's a bummer because I really like York Peppermint Patty!
So, I guess Junior Mints are out too? :(
Whaaaat? So when I'm at the gym, should I stick a couple of peppermints up my nose? I'm really needing a boost in my motivation too.
Thanks or linking up, Lovie! xoxo
My mom was just telling me about peppermint the other day! So maybe I need to get some kind of peppermint-scent for my new Scentsy warmer and put it on when I'm doing my exercise videos! Which reminds me...I need to dust those off, they've been lying unused for the past two weeks...
No way! I didn't know that- that is awesome
I used to suck on these when I was nauseous when I was pregnant - now I have an excuse to have more!! :)

Oh my goodness I have a recipe for home made peppermint patties...want to make them but my butt will not thank me for it..
You just had to say peppermint...didn't ya!
my trainer told me the same thing. he has this peppermint gum that he MAKES and i chew it every time i work out. i swear it helps me breathe better and get a better work out. so yep, there must be something to it!
