I went to the gym last night- it was PACKED! Now you want me to complain about it. You want me to make that snide remark- “give it a month and all the “Resolutioners” will quit and I’ll have the gym to myself again… ” Nope. Not going to do it. You know why? Because … Continue reading
I’m making the same resolution as I did last year- I choose happy. My resolution last year was to be happy. Not to find “happiness”. Not to make others happy but to be simply happy myself. I think happiness is a choice. I chose happy this year and honestly it was a really happy year. … Continue reading

The most effective approach seems to be getting them involved in the meal preparation. My kids … Continue reading

I recently ran into a friend I hadn’t seen in over 6 months. She was really surprised by my change in appearance. “Wow! How did you lose all that weight?” was the question. I thought about it and then I had to tell her the truth…. even though it isn’t the answer most people want … Continue reading
Someone asked me if it has to be all or nothing with Clean Eating. At the beginning, it was ALL! I totally committed to this new way of eating. To be honest, my motives weren’t entirely pure.
