Holiday Survival Strategies
It's party season. And we have all heard "eat before you go," stick to protein and veggies, position yourself away from the food table, etc. But since the average American gains weight over the holidays, it doesn't seem like that works very well. One that I heard a few years ago (and is actually great year round) is to…

A little motivation for a Friday....
I'm the first one to say that you just have to do it: you are responsible for you, and no one can make you do anything!! But I also see the value in sharing a good story when I see it!! Thanks to a friend of mine for sharing it with me on Facebook. It tells the story of Ben and his 120# journey. Pretty amazing!! Here's his…

While the pain may go away with RICE, the bone spurs will not. Just wondering if the pain actually went away, or if you wound up having to have them scraped off. The tiiming absolutely…

Healthy Swaps - what's your favorite "ODD" swap?
So there are a a lot of well known "healthy swaps" out there. What I want to know is what is your favorite "odd" swap? Something that you normally wouldn't try or haven't really thought of before. For example: I just made tuna salad w/hummus instead of mayo....surprised @ how good it was. I also recently had an amazingly…

I WILL!! How about you?
A lot of people seem to forget that this whole weight loss and healthful living thing is a journey with no real destination. Once you achieve your "numeric" goals, you are still not done: you often have to eat a particular way to maintain, you probably have an exercise you would like to start, or maybe improve upon, or in…
