Through life experience as well as years of client consultations, I have learned there is so much more to food than just food. It’s a complex and emotional issue for many people, much beyond tastebuds, hunger and basic fuel. If you are struggling to maintain a healthy weight, even more emotions may come into play. […]
Top 4 Questions & Comments I get…
It’s GA Small Business week, so I thought I’d share the Top 4 Questions & Comments I get as a Business Owner Working in Nutrition & Fitness: 1) “I’d be so tempted to snack all day and do my laundry on work time if I worked from home!” Agreed. Both are tempting! My operation […]
Dirty, Imperfect and Whole
You’ve likely heard me say what I’ve been having to coach myself and others to do for years: “major on the majors.” If we aren’t doing what is tried and true, no amount of effort or money we spend on self-imposed food rules and media-driven regimens will bring true wellness. There are plenty of areas […]
LOVE BETTER in 10 days!
Choose 1 of these 2 options to help you to LOVE yourself and others better: I’ll do 1 each day for 10 days, checking off 10 above and assigning a date to each on my calendar. I’ll do all of the ones I selected above EACH DAY for 10 days through Valentine’s Day. (Only select […]
a Powerful Poison
Those who know me know that it is just as likely for me to break out a random dance move as it is for me to throw out a deep thought they never saw coming. This will be more along the lines of the latter: I’m hoping the pulse of this post gets “stuck in […]
Eat whatever you want?
“Since you exercise, you can eat anything you want.” I hear this often. Do you really think that’s true? Getting your workout done brings that high that makes you think you can do anything! (But it sometimes leads you to THINK you can eat anything, too). One stop by Starbucks on the way home or to the office […]
Life to the “full”
Puffer vest + lying-leggings + holiday yummies = FULL! But, um, I don’t think this is the kind of “full” referred to here: Without a plan setting us up for success, and accountability (and the right clothing too :), a week-of-wonder can set us up for an extra challenging resolution the following week. Check out this […]
Enjoyment AND excuses
I was at a Sports Nutrition conference earlier this month taking in the wisdom of Nancy Clark, the most well-known of Sports-Nutritionists (pictured here). She said, “I keep food and exercise separate: the E of exercise is for ‘enjoyment’.” I’ve been pondering that since. With all the activity trackers out there (think fitbit), so many are […]
Comfort cookies at Christmastime!
If I could blindfold you and give you a taste of one of these comfort-food cookies, I think I know what would come to mind. Girl.Scout.Cookies: they taste like Samoas, but fresher and lighter! Now that I’m a cookbook author (as of this year), I feel like I have to be extra on-my-game when bringing something […]
Going Gluten Free? Consider this first!
Though there is much interest in going gluten free, most people aren’t really sure what benefits to expect if they do make this drastic change in their diets. Initially, the gluten free diet was prescribed for those with celiac disease, a serious autoimmune disease that results in small intestine damage when gluten-containing foods are consumed. […]
