I have to admit something. I have a running problem. And this running problem has gotten U-G-L-Y. I know that many of you reading this may not be runners so I’ll try not to use too much running jargon but the point overall still remains the same. See I’ve come down with a case of…

When In Doubt, Eat Mallomars
There’s a fine line between reality and make believe. Unfortunately for many of us, the line is a little more than slightly blurry. We ride this fuzzy line until we actually believe that the truth- our reality- isn’t true and that the make believe stories we tell ourselves are in fact 100% accurate. How about…
I Made It With Love
When I was growing up, it wasn’t uncommon to hear someone say after a great meal “Wow, that was delicious! What made that so good?” My mom, the consummate home chef, would answer, “It’s so good because I made it with love.” Then it would be dropped because, of course, love is that special ingredient that makes…
Top 12 Healthy Eater Habits

Lateral Shifts In Your Diet Can Save You From Holiday Hell
First off, let me apologize for the use of the word “hell”. I know it’s not always practical to use words that might be potentially abrasive to some when you’re trying to get a point across, but just bear with me. I’ve made it a point to always speak my mind, to not use words…

Fear Is Freedom
When was the last time you were afraid? Today? Yesterday? Last week? Last month? Or maybe you’d rather not even answer. Regardless of when or even where you were last afraid, the idea of fear is so deeply ingrained in our brains that we will never in our entire lifetime be free from it. And…
Struggling Is A Part Of The Process
Most of the people I know want easy, tried and true and guaranteed results. They want to know that what they’re doing is the right thing to do and that whatever struggles happen along the way are just part of the process- part of their eventual success. While that’s a great thought, it doesn’t always…
Fat Is Your Friend, Really
I haven’t met many people in my life, especially women, who weren’t looking to get rid of some kind of fat in their lives. Whether it was the fat on their body, their significant others body, their child’s body, or fat in their diet, fat has been public enemy #1 for longer than it deserves….
