Back to school and everyone’s on the move again!  Smoothies are an easy, nutritious, and balanced meal for on the run.  They don’t even need chewed!  Prepare ahead of time and keep them in the fridge or cooler.    Try adding a handful of spinach to berry smoothies for extra green benefits.  Substitute fresh hemp […]

As a coach, I always get a little chuckle when I hear “I am just too busy to pee some days”.  Usually the first words out of my mouth are, “Oh, so you just pee in your pants?  That really is far more efficient than taking two minutes to use the restroom”.  Of course, the […]

“Give me liberty, or give me death” Patrick Henry I realize this quote is a bit dramatic.  But for me, it symbolizes that if I didn’t become liberated from my addiction to junk food, diet and faux health foods that the line “give me death” would be happening far sooner that it should.   While […]

As a 5’7” fifty-two year old woman, I was fed up with my overall appearance, lack of fitness, and self care. I’d gradually added 3-4 pounds each year and done nothing about it. One day I hit 153 pounds, which was only 9 pounds shy of my weight when I delivered my son… My varicose […]
