Another week of writing this before I check the scale… I’m not sure how it will go… The cabin is so tough for me. I don’t want to be a nuisance when it comes to meals, so I try to plan a few and go with the flow on others. There is always dessert, candy, […]

Let’s face it, paying for a trainer’s time and attention is expensive! […]
In November I got the surprise of a lifetime. When I shared my Wellness Wish in a Kohl’s Facebook group, I never dreamed I would receive a phone call telling me they were setting me up with a personal trainer three days a week for three months! It was a complete dream! Throughout December, January, and February […]
Today you’re getting TWO amazing recipes for the price of one! Combine them and you have one killer (meatless, but you’ll never miss it!) taco salad! The easiest taco filling ever, and so delicious my carnivore hubby raves. These lentils are so flavorful you’ll never miss the meat. They are also so easy you won’t […]
Along this journey to a healthy lifestyle there may not be reinforcement at every turn, but every once in a while you get one of those shining moments that tell you all your hard work is paying off! These moments don’t come along very frequently (and I’ll be sharing a post about incentives and keeping […]
