Week 6 of Drop 2 Sizes is Complete!

Quick hit:  Some of my clothes that weren't fitting are now fitting so something is happening. I love the fact that I am eating more plant based just by virtue of the menu plan.  Sometimes I only eat one meal with meat and I feel fine. I was a little low energy this past week ... read more >

Week 4 of Drop 2 Sizes is done: Halfway There!

First let's start off with a confession...

There are several reasons for ... read more >

Progress Journal: Confronting my own Eating Routines

Well I survived the Geneen Roth workshop. Thank you Katniss Everdeen for the inspiration.  We're killing FEARS one by one this year!  We're shooting them down! The experience was quite fantabulous!  I felt that I got a lot out of it.  I didn't break down into hysterics and neither did many in the audience.  It ... read more >

Progress Journal: Facing Fear head on

Nutrition and Workout Update I'm still following a Paleo nutrition program Monday - Friday evening and then after that I tend to loosen up. The workouts have changed a bit.  I have some early morning clients now so I haven't been working out early in the morning these past 2 weeks. I'm coming up on ... read more >
