It’s been a stressful time at our house lately; first child graduating from high school and all that that entails, husband traveling 75% of the time for the last couple of months and the usual end- of- school year mayhem. Does anyone else view the month of May as a busy month, second only to... Continue Reading →
Choices
No one will know if I choose to drink a chocolate milkshake instead of a fruit and vegetable smoothie today. And no one will know if I decide to skip my workouts for the week. Of course, that milkshake is going to make the workout tougher to endure, if I do it at all. And... Continue Reading →
Negative Motivation
I have been trying to become a runner for years with minimal success. I was not athletic as a child, choosing music over sports and always dreading gym class, which has made it more difficult to pursue a constant activity as an adult because it never feels natural to me.

Continued Education
Our son was in the hospital for the last couple of days, getting tested for seizure-like episodes he has been experiencing after some concussions last year.

You’re Drinking WHAT?
People ask me questions about juicing when they hear this is something my guy and I do on a regular basis. We started this about four months ago after watching a compelling documentary called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. In it, an overweight Australian in poor health went on a 60 day juice fast in...

Take Care
It's Mammogram Day for me! Not my favorite thing in the world, but it is important. I am wondering what you need to do to love yourself? I have a friend who has a terrible time with the act of scheduling her appointments each year. So I do it for her. Because she is worth... Continue Reading →
