Check out the "Feel Good " Story before it closes
Dreaming of owning one of these Tell me you’ve heard of Story. I thought the word is out but I still come across many people who don’t know about it. I describe story as a rotating pop-up but it isn’t a pop up in that it doesn’t pop down (that made no...
Lent feels sort of like an anniversary for me at Foodtrainers; Lauren had posted a great blog years (omg .. many years) ago on Non-Religious Lent that introduced us. The rest is Foodtrainers history (appropriate that it’s Valentines day too L, xx). There’s something...
My favorite new (bite-sized) chocolate
I am such a chocolate person that I don’t understand how vanilla people exist. Vanilla is a mistake. I like chocolate in all its forms though it’s probably no surprise I lean toward dark chocolate now. I’m not hardcore with the percentages; 85% is still too...
Superbowl Challenge and Recipe
Most years, I have more interest in the food than the football on Super Bowl Sunday. But we love the Broncos; our dog is named Bronco so I’ll be watching. And according to statistics, so will most of you. This concerns me, I have heartburn just thinking about Super...
When Barbie’s body is on the cover of Time magazine
Off the bat, I’ll say I wasn’t a doll girl growing up. I did have a Cabbage Patch but that was more of a stuffed animal and 80s status symbol (among the 4th graders). I spent time with Speak & Math the way some of my friends played dolls. I recall some limited...
Office Offender- meet Cookie Push
It’s hard enough to walk the healthy walk with our own “stuff”. Our sleep, work stress, family life, hormones and cravings are obstacles on any given day. But so are other people and sometimes it’s not even the people closest to you. We spend a lot of time at work and...
Shroom coffee and a Four Sigma giveaway
*please note I've been meaning to post this all week. I didn't want to hit the weekend without it up but there may be typos etc. Know I'm aware of it, OK? In our world (which I realize can be different from the regular world) medicinal mushrooms are all the...
I'm sorry Jennifer Weiner, "trying" doesn't make you superficial
We have another great giveaway coming your way, but an article I read this weekend pushed my “must write about” button. Let me first say that I love Jennifer Weiner’s writing and I’ll even admit I appreciate her Bachelor live-tweeting. I didn’t enjoy “One...

So here’s the deal. At Foodtrainers we love our “secretweapons”. These are those little extras that can give you the wellness or weight loss edge provided YOU HAVE YOUR BASIC BEHAVIORS IN ORDER. Our vetting process goes something like this: We hear about a...
New Years Resolutions: Oprah, “Healhy-ish” etc.
We are all hypocrites. I realize that’s not the most motivational sentence to start the year but it’s true. My ears perked up with I heard Oprah’s soothing voice seemingly honestly recounting her weight struggles. “You look in mirror and you don’t even recognize...
King of Greens: Spinach versus Kale
I recently spoke with The Daily Burn about a great topic (or great to me): which is better for you, spinach or kale? I gave them my two cents (and they printed one cent tops) so here is my complete take on this: Greens, greens why are they so friggin' great? Leafy...
Does binge watching prevent bingeing?
email stated "already getting family resistance but trying" By now you’ve probably heard of our “tweet it don’t eat it” hash tag (#TIDEI). If you are on twitter, tweet to me (@Foodtrainers) or Carolyn (@onesmartbrownie) or to both of us. Any time you find...
