Sugar (da na na na na-na) oh, Honey Honey
Many diet books and magazines are delivering the same message these days. Eating too much sugar, preservatives, fast and processed foods is bad for your health and will make you fat. Oh, and portion sizes ultimately do count. So other than "eating from the rainbow" what does this mean? Here is one quick thing you …
Goal Setting 101
Ok, it's March, how is the "new you" coming along? Are you running, spinning, meditating, eating more leafy greens, playing with your kids more or working less like you promised on January 1st?
