Bathroom Scale Dance
Posted: 08/16/2011
Every morning when you wake up, do you do a dance with your bathroom scale? You know the dance, right? You tap the scale and step on board and blink you eyes a few times as you stare back at the number in front of you. You casually step off the scale, scoot it over a tile or two and step right back on again. Much to your surprise the number is the same...
Pace Yourself
Posted: 08/12/2011
Do you find yourself running from point A to point B at 100 mph? I want to say take a moment to stop and just breathe. Not everything has to be done this very minute. It’s not safe mentally or physically to try and squeeze 25 hours worth of activity into a 24 hour day!Something I have found that works for me. Every morning while I’m getting...

Glutes "R" Us
Posted: 06/01/2011
Is this look perhaps out of my reach?I don’t know about you, but I have never given much thought to my glutes. To the extent I thought about them at all, I thought of them as something to sit on. Who could have foreseen the day when I would be told that my glutes had shut down—basically, from having sat on them my entire adult life—and that I would...
When is the best time to workout
Posted: 05/19/2011
I’m often asked “when is the best time to work out?” I love this question because the answer is surprisingly simple: “Whenever you are going to do it!” If you are an early bird, then trying to work out at 8 or 9 p.m. probably isn’t for you. Let’s face it, we early birds are usually in bed by 10 p.m. and starting a workout...
Portion Distortion
Posted: 05/19/2011
I went to an Italian restaurant in Northern Virginia recently and the pasta dinner (for one) was the same size my mom used to put on the dinner table to feed a family of four! Quite simply, our food portions in America are out of control. When I was growing up, a cheeseburger, small fries and small soda from a fast food restaurant was considered lunch. Now, for too many Americans,...
