The Best Thing I’ve Ever Done

Monday, April 9th, 2012

I recently gave a presentation to a stand-out group of entrepreneurs. During the Q&A, one of them asked me how I come up with the programs I create. The short answer is "Because I need them." Case in point: Ready-Set-Go, A Jump Start to Healthy Eating. About fifteen months ago, I completed chemotherapy for non-Hodgkins lymphoma. As ...Read More...

I’m Too Busy To Lose Weight

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

I'm inspired by this season's The Biggest Loser: No Excuses. Each week they tear the wall down on a common excuse for not losing weight, proving that you can do anything you really set your mind to. The excuse that really resonates with me is "I'm too busy to eat right." I love this, because ...Read More...

It's Back to School time! We'll talk this week about starting your kids' day off right with a good breakfast. No kids? Adults will benefit from this as well. Breakfast is important for so many reasons. It revs your metabolism, stabilizes your blood sugar after too many hours of not eating and helps you avoid overeating ...Read More...

Sip a Better Soda

Saturday, August 6th, 2011

One of our main sources of sugar and sugar-like substances is soda, both regular and diet. Neither one is something I recommend as a regular part of your diet, for a few reasons: Regular soda is full of completely empty calories. One 12-ounce can of regular soda contains about 150 calories, and no nutritional value. Cutting out ...Read More...
