A Seasonal Challenge

I've slowly come out of my turkey coma and have moved the fruits and veggies back to their prime position in the fridge.  I've given a pie away to the neighbors, frozen leftover turkey bits and have come back to my senses. Thanksgiving will do that to you. And now we roll onward to the …

Don’t Be a Rookie On January 1st!

Today is December 7th and there are 24 days left in the year.  Many people (rookies) wait until January 1st to start their New Year’s Resolutions.  And while that seems like a pretty good date to turn over that new leaf, begin anew, etc.  I’d like to challenge you to make one healthy change to …

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 …

Can’t Is A Four Letter Word

There are a lot of 4-letter words that I use and it gets me in trouble.  My mother has often exclaimed "Keli Elizabeth!  Your language" as I roll off a colorful expletive.   There is, however, one 4-letter word I refuse to use and it starts with the 3rd letter of the alphabet. That word is …

What’s Your Vision?

A vision board is a great tool to use for attracting or bringing into your life the things you want.  In a nutshell it's based on the Law of Attraction (here's where it gets kind of New Age, but stick with me) where you are putting out in the Universe that which you want to …
