I ran across Roni’s blog, Roni’s Weigh, a few years ago when I started my own weight loss journey. Last year, I met her for the first time during Fitbloggin’ and got to spend time with her again at BlogHer. She is every bit as warm, friendly, and helpful in real life as she is […]

Happy 2012! I love the New Year. It’s a chance to begin a new adventure and to evaluate our choices of the past year.  What worked? What didn’t? Are we headed where we want to go? There is something fun about hanging a new calendar and seeing all the empty pages just waiting to be […]

There have been many adjustments the last few months since we moved into an RV. The obvious being a small living space and the constant moving. What surprises me is those have been the easiest changes. I love having less stuff and less to clean. (I can’t even tell you how freeing it feels.) I […]

It’s Girl Hero time again! This Girl Hero is extra special because she is my sister-in-law.  Kristi is a hairstylist and mother to three wonderful boys!  Her and her husband Garrett enjoy being outdoors and cooking together and, boy, can they cook.  Seriously, Thanksgiving at their house is nothing short of AMAZING.  This spring Kristi […]

(source) I can’t even begin to tell you how important goal setting has been in my life especially in regards to maintaining my weight loss.

There are many many paths to the same destination. (source) So what separates those who reach their destination from those who do not? “It’s not whether you […]

Nothing I’ve shared the last 10 days is groundbreaking. Truth be told, I don’t have anything groundbreaking to share.  All I have are things that I’ve seen work for me and my clients. It’s all really simple but not necessarily easy. If it was easy we wouldn’t be facing the problems we are facing here […]

Making a major lifestyle change can be difficult. Maintaining a major life change is even harder without a support system. When I decided I finally wanted to lose all the post baby weight I sought out the support from friends online and off.  I needed to know there were real people, with real lives, who […]

The next 31 days I’m going to share some ideas on how to get a better a body. But there’s a catch… I’m starting from the inside out because that is  what counts. Sure we’ll discuss food and fitness.  There will be plenty of that stuff. But… First we must dig deep because a flower […]

I didn’t write a “New Year Resolution” post this year.  Instead, I reflected over my last 10 years and the years to come. At the time it was what I needed. But now I need a short term reminder that THE YEAR IS HALF OVER! Can you believe it?  I can’t! So what was it […]
