Hello all! Sorry for the lapse in posting, it got a little busy around here last week. Anyway, I’m back and we’re gonna dive right in! I had a conversation with a friend (my orthodontist’s assistant technically)the other day about starting a work out plan. She’s in decent shape but hasn’t trained in a while and is [...]

Onto the topic for today: eating during the holidays. About this time, there are all kinds of “diet” advice, how [...]

Thanksgiving is next week and Christmas will be fast on it’s heels. With all that delicious meats (turkey, ham or, in my family’s case, crab), sweets (pies, cookies etc.) and higher fat foods (which are fine in moderation) fiber tends to get pushed aside and then we end up with not-so-regular bathroom habits.

I was scouring a number of sources yesterday for inspiration for today’s posts and stumbled across a couple that screamed “moderation” to me. Have you heard about this first one? The Manhattan mother (who by Manhattan standards is middle-class… translation: her condo is valued well past 1M, but probably under 3M) that has an article [...]
READ MORE »Do you ever sit in front of the TV at night and find yourself munching away on, well, anything? I do. As a matter of fact it happened last night. I wasn’t hungry… I knew that! So, why was I eating? Because I wanted to stay awake to see the entire Tennessee vs Baylor basketball [...]
