Biggest Loser or Winner?
Yesterday, I spoke to a writer who was doing a story on reality weight loss shows. In case you think the Biggest Loser is the only one of these shows, there are now many others and these shows are really a phenomenon. I’ve written about The Biggest Loser before but it...
"Don't be so hard on yourself" doesn't always work
I keep a notebook on my desk during client sessions. Here and there I jot down tidbits that strike a chord with me and I feel others can relate to. Today I was in session with a client we’ll call C because C was confused. C had a history of beating herself up when it...

Foodtrainers Goody Bag
On Friday I wrote about our first night at Blackberry Farm. The weekend got better and better from there. Friday, I met the boot camp group after they completed a 2-hour bike ride. As everyone enjoyed a picnic lunch of grilled fish, asparagus, beets, cranberry...
Blackberry Farm
I am writing this from post from Blackberry Farm. I’m here giving a series of short talks to some guests participating in a motivational boot camp. If you aren’t familiar with Blackberry Farm it’s a farm to table property in the Smoky Mountains. All of the...

No Issues Naked or Exposure-phobe?
You know those naked people in the locker room at the gym? I am not one of those. Nor am I the girl running down the beach totally at ease in her bikini. I may have the bikini on but I’ll have my cover-up du jour on for more of the time. When we were in France last...
Eat Less with Activity Foods

If there's no wagon, you can't fall off
My friend Rebecca (of Beccarama) wrote on her blog about eating a steak. What made this event post-worthy and interesting was that Rebecca is a vegetarian and the post was entitled "falling off the vegetarian wagon”. Rebecca tells the story of how she...

10 Steps to Better Sleep
I don’t want to beat around the bush, there’s no use trying to be eloquent. This week kicked my ass. The measly 1-hour spring ahead paired with single parenting while my husband was carousing traveling on business in Vegas left me with a perpetual liquor-less...
