  • You Want to Eat Healthy? Think Au Natural!

    The road to healthy eating never ends, in that, there’s always something new and interesting to learn about what really constitutes a healthy diet.

  • The Reality of Aging

    This past week I joined my hubby for his conference in Vegas. Vegas, not one of my favorite spots, mainly because you’re either sweltering in the “blow dryer” air or freezing with the blasting air conditioning in the smoke filled casinos. But hey, it’s time away and you can’t scoff at that no matter where…

  • 9 Ingredients, 6 Meals!

    Very often when I am out of town lecturing, time is tight and I find myself  trying to eat as healthy as possible on the road. Sometimes it can be tough. I’m especially mindful of avoiding sugar and salt simply because with travel, those just add to any low energy you might experience. If I…

  • Buffet Explains Dysfunctional Relationship with Food!

    This past week, I had the privilege of getting away for 7 days on a cruise. To celebrate 25 years of marriage, I figured a cruise would be a nice way to get away and celebrate, I was right. For 7 days I was out of the loop, no phone, no TV (well, very little)…

  • Weight Watchers and McDonalds Partner Up? Really?

    Well, I’m getting ready to head out on vacation, a much needed one. But didn’t want to leave without getting in a post and well, today I’ve got a good one. Have you heard about the recent partnership between McDonalds and Weight Watchers? Is it me or is that an oxymoron? I don’t get it,…

  • Don’t Put All Your Eggs in the “Weight” Basket
