Just for today... Talk to your friends about things that that empowers, uplifts you, or just makes you smile (instead of bitching about stuff). Thank your partner for mowing the lawn or picking up their socks (even though, really, how hard is it to pick up socks off the floor?) Watch the honeybadger videos on …
Channel your inner bad-ass
It's not uncommon to get into a rut with your fitness program. Whether you run, take classes, swim, walk or ride your bike there are days when we don't push quite as hard as we should or cut 10 or 15 minutes from our workout or even (gasp) skip it altogether. We're all human and …
30-Day Challenge Part 3 – Final Update
My 30-Day Tracking challenge is over and yes, I was methodical and religious about tracking my food intake for the past 30 days. Using the Livestrong website was really easy, their database of foods in ginormous and once I got in the swing of it I enjoyed the ritual of logging what I ate. My …

Is there a trainer in the house?
Even though I'm a personal trainer and teach fitness classes I don't train my husband nor do I go to the gym with him. We learned a long time ago that our styles are different and it's best if we do our own thing. The other day he was complaining about his shoulder and we …
Flipping out over figs!
Fresh figs are in season and provide a great nutritional boost to your diet. A medium fig has about 37 calories and 1 to 1.4 grams of fiber. I love to eat them raw but they are tasty grilled (which caramelize the natural sugar) or stuffed with goat cheese for a quick appetizer. They are …
Become a donor!
When I booked an appointment to make a blood donation I learned a startling statistic. According to the Blood Centers of the Pacific only 5% of the eligible population (about 97%) donate blood. Donating blood is simple and almost painless. It takes about 60 to 90 minutes for an appointment and yes, there is a …
