Healthy eating is not always about being thin or losing weight - it is about keeping our bodies healthy for a better quality of life.

My Chat with Bob Harper

Last week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Bob Harper. If you live in a box and don’t know who Bob Harper is, he’s one of the lead trainers on The Biggest Loser TV show. When Bob first began his career in personal training, he had no idea it would take off in such a huge way. Although Bob is a big TV star now, he really… Continue

Women of Faith

I won't be here tomorrow or Saturday. I'll be in Indianapolis at the Woman of Faith gathering. I can't wait. I'm going with my best friend and have been looking forward to this for a long time.

I need a break... we all do. America, we are all about the dream, materialism and go go go. Women were created to rest. Do we? Not many of us do... well that is, some of us rest too much and coin our own destiny as couch potatoes and others of us run so much that we are unable to slow down for… Continue

REM Sleep - The Sequel

More than enough time has passed since I promised to be back with the rest of the rest story on REM...

REM Sleep

You may be saying that you get sleep at night with the aid of your sleeping pills. However, most prescription sleeping medications alter the sleep cycle and suppress the all important REM sleep. You may also wonder why your weight loss is not going so well. Keep reading.

REM or Rapid Eye Movement sleep is the deepest cycle of sleep lasting about 10 minutes.… Continue

Artichoke, Anyone?

While cruising the produce aisle of your favorite grocery store, have you ever passed by a display of artichokes and spontaneously reached out and grabbed one? Do you remember what happened? Yikes, right? One of the little thorns at the tips of this odd-looking vegetable

may (or may not—maybe it only wanted to attack me!) have pricked you. This more than likely caused you to toss… Continue

How to Survive P90X without Losing Your Mind.

During the past 10 months I have tried and failed P90X a couple of times.

Each time before I stopped I was doing really well, until I got sick, or something else would happen that prevented me from working out for a while, and then I just couldn’t get back into it. I also felt very impatient about the results I expected, and it’s needless to say that the results did not arrive instantly. After each workout I would come up to the mirror anxiously… Continue
