Back on Track : One Month Program
To get back on track means that somehow in the past few months, you’ve slipped off the track! It happens more times than you think. But now is not the time to dwell on what you did or didn’t do in terms of your fitness, wellness and nutrition. You’ve already lived through that once, why […]
Tex Mex Zucchini Boats
I am loving this dish! For me, one of the best things is that it is a perfect portion size and it lasts in the fridge 3 days so I can bake them up on Sunday and have a few left over for my weekly lunches. This past week I prepped these boats and the […]
Why Being A Size 2 Shouldn’t Be The Most Important Thing
“I want a six-pack! When I was 20, I could see my abs and I had nice toned arms. I can’t believe I thought I was fat back then. I would give anything to look like that now! I just want to feel sexy…you know? I hate my legs, they always rub together when I […]

I slept in today. Finally! With a job that starts at 5am most mornings my body clock kind of has me whipped, even on weekends when I don’t work. While lying there, enjoying my morning coffee and a local magazine called Mint, I thought to myself, “This brings me joy. It gives me a […]
Mindful Bytes-Regulating our Feelings
In yesterday’s blog I talked about how feelings are neither good nor bad and that it is a good practice to welcome those feelings, specifically the uncomfortable ones as they are indicators that something is going on inside of us.

Mindful Bytes-Changing our Relationship with Food.
“Sometimes I just can’t shovel the food in fast enough.”“When I get home from a stressful day at work, I deserve to reward myself.” “I just love the taste of food so much.” “When I’m indulging, I don’t even care in that moment that I had promised myself I wouldn’t do that again.” Have you […]
