Tell your inner critic to take a hike

Today let's have a little chat with your inner voice. You know, the stupid little voice that shrieks in your brain when you're instructed to do a Burpee (or a few).  The one that tells you flat out "Hell to the NO" when you add some running into your daily walks.  Or maybe yours likes …

My daughter had a softball tournament this past weekend which meant a late night Saturday (first of all, who schedules games that will end at close to 11pm??) and an early start on Sunday so I only had 30 minutes for a workout.  And since it had to be short it had to be hard. …

(And pineapple, which isn't exactly a summer fruit but I love them anyway!) They don't call fruit, nature's candy for nothing! They tame a sweet tooth and have the added bonus …

Cook More to Lose Weight

It shouldn't surprise you that to control your weight you have to control how much you put into your pie hole. (Sorry, I just never get to say 'pie hole' nearly enough.) The best fix for this is to eat in more often.  (Studies have shown that eating out often increases your waistline).  So, that …

Why I Exercise

In order to change your life there has to be a buy-in and a reward.   When you make excuses for not eating healthfully or not exercising, you simply haven't been able to find your buy-in and you most definitely can't see what the reward (or end result) will be. So today, I'm going to give …
