Let’s you want to lose a few pounds. What is the first thing you might do? Reduce the amount you’re eating—especially cutting back on processed junk food. We’re talking to you, pizza, fries, wings, and nachos. It’s a good idea to keep an eye on how much you’re eating when the goal is weight loss. But it’s also possible to take it too far. In some cases, not eating enough can seriously mess with weight-loss efforts, especially if you’ve already lost some weight and…

I had always seen pictures people post of yummy looking chia seed pudding but I always thought,”looks really good but way to complicated to make”, so i would pass. One…
Benefits of Cross Training Your Workouts We’re all a bunch of creatures of habit. Time and time again we fall in love with a routine we like, whether that be in our personal or professional lives – and in workouts – and we refuse to change.

We may not be in control of every situation in life, but we are always in control of how we think. How we think directly impacts who we are and…
Sometimes I think lunch is the hardest meal to make healthy. It’s so tempting on busy days to just pull through the drive thru and get something quick.

So, leftovers are a big thing in our house and I will always try to make more of something…
Meet the CEO – A little bit about me and my family It is important to me that I connect with the clients I help every day in my virtual health, fitness and coaching business. I know I say all the right things, preach only those activities that promote a healthy and fit lifestyle, and I sure do come across as someone who has endless energy and confidence. But truth be told, I am a work in progress – just…

We all need a stable job so that we can provide for our families, but sometimes it feels like we are spending all our time at work. You know the drill: a major big wig is coming in from out of town and lately you’ve been spending all your time tweaking that big proposal you’ve been working on.
