1. The 'Cleaver'

• When you do something, you do it all the way. You are the ultimate Sunday prep person.
• You're going to want to pick your recipes for the week, put each meal on the calendar, grocery shop, chop, cook, and package your meals. It takes up your entire Sunday but the rest of the week you are 100% food-stress free.

2. Left-Overs Lover

• You feel like there's nothing better than sitting down to a delicious, home cooked meal that you just had to spend 5 minutes warming up.
• Every time you...

Hey!! I hope this blog finds you well. I hope it finds you happy with your job, in a loving relationship, with overflowing self confidence, health, and joy. 

But what if it isn't? What if this blog is finding you barely able to make it out of bed. What if it finds you with that too-familiar dark cloud hanging overhead? What if it finds you just trying to make it through the day?

Well, I'm hoping, if that's you... today's episode might help.

You may know, I don't generally hand out 'DO NOT EAT' lists to my clients. I feel like that usually sets us up for feeling deprived at least, or it sets us up for a full on binge fest and self-loathing spiral at worst.

So today I am bringing you a list of the worst foods for weight loss... with this caveat: if...

Hey friend, so I'm aware, as of late, I've been heavy into personal development, productivity, and business development for newbie entrepreneurs.

However, I want you to know I have not left my fitness folks behind. Which is why I'm doing a special series of fitness blogs.

I'm calling it, The 5 Days of Fitness. (I love alliterations, don't you?)

So, for the next few posts I'll be answering some...

Who here is still tired even if they get a full night’s sleep?

Who NEEDS coffee in the morning to function?

Who craves sweets in the afternoon as your energy slumps?

Believe me, I used to be right there with you...

And unfortunately, we live in a world where low energy is considered a "normal" part of adulthood, and we only ever attempt to fix the symptoms, not the root cause. 

I can think of no better example than myself. I lived with chronic...

Sugar cravings. The two words that can ignite fear in the fiercest of dieters, the fitness warriors, the health fanatics. 

Sugar cravings. The destroyer of weight loss goals, the seemingly insurmountable desire for sweetness, the ever present frustration and saboteur of all things healthy.  

Sugar cravings. Are they possible to truly beat? Or will we face this foe forever?

Let's find out...

I'm sure you've heard the study that explains how sugar is just as, if not more addictive than cocaine. Which means the battle to...

"I always have this poochy belly..."

"I hate my thick thighs..."

"By butt is too big..."

"I wish my arms looked more defined..."

We all have that one area of our body that drives us nuts and, of course, it always seems like the most stubborn body part to tone, tighten, or taunt into submission. 

Why? Why is there such a thing as a "trouble zone?" And is there anything to be done about it?

Well, while there are a million DVD's and workout programs out there titled things like Chiseled Abs, Thigh Slimmer, and Burn Off That...
