Does this sound familiar? You went on vacation and upon your return you’re feeling a little less motivated than you were a week ago, or perhaps shocked at the scale, discouraged about eating dessert at a graduation party (EACH graduation party for the past 7 weekends), maybe drank alcohol at cookouts, concerts or out to […]

While I rarely get headaches, I have experienced migraines. I will admit that this is one physical pain that I have very little tolerance for and want to nip it right away. If I catch it early, I can prevent the nausea, vomiting and overall sick feeling that can lay me up for hours. But […]

Hydrating ourselves sufficiently throughout the day helps to accelerate the repair of muscle damage and the liver’s ability to process fat efficiently. […]

“Sheri, I had such a great week. The best ever. I am feeling so good and finally feel like I can be successful and have what I want with my body! I’m so excited.” I’ll bite. “What happened?” “Well,” she gushed, “every day I am really good about drinking 3 quarts of water. I’m great […]
