  • I can tell that you are a very busy woman to have to eat on the road for lunch (and some dinners). My #1 rule (to myself) "Burger King and McDonald's are not my friends...they are out to sabatoge my weight loss. There is nothing on their menu that is healthy for me.

  • Congratulations! I've been where you are at. It was hard to find the time to exercise let alone do anything else for myself.

  • Love tea! The trick to not making your tea bitter is not to over steep it. Bring filtered water to almost a boil state (but not full boil). Put tea bag in cup and pour hot water over it. Cover w/saucer and steep for 10 minutes. Remove tea bag and enjoy! I have about 15 different teas in my cupboard. My favoirte brand is…

  • Wonder why, when we are driving our cars, that our windshield is so large compared to our rearview mirror? It is because we are to focus on what is ahead of us and only occassionally look in our rearview mirror, to those things that are behind us.
