As the colder days settle in, the allure of cocooning under a cozy blanket is real. I get it; it's tempting to let the day drift by in hibernation mode. But let's not make that our winter anthem! Even though I live is sunny Southern California, I still get cold, even without snow and below freezing temperatures 😉 But I do look forward to visiting my grandkids next month in the snow! Here are some ideas to keep you moving and grooving all season long, whether you're inside or

It’s so easy in our busy world to constantly be thinking about something other than what you’re doing. To distract yourself with Instagram or TikTok. To text a friend instead of talking with the person in front of you. To worry about tomorrow, or that time last week when you did or didn’t do that thing… It’s all part of the emotional disjointedness of modern living. But when you’re not mentally present in each moment of your life, when your bodies are here but your thoughts a

As we’re in the holiday season, I can't help but reflect on the way nature's cycles can inspire us to set meaningful goals and reevaluate our priorities. Winter approaches, and I can slow down, take stock, and ponder what truly matters. I like to lay the groundwork for a plan that I can kick into gear when spring starts breathing life back into the world. The momentum carries me through the energizing days of summer, and if I’m still on it in the fall, I get an extra burst of

I think it's safe to say that many people have a bit of a "love-hate" relationship with the holidays, especially when it comes to food. You adore the traditions, the beloved family recipes – Even those epic feasts, right? But you also have that little voice in your head warning about overindulgence. You want to enjoy the season’s delights, but you’re worried about undoing months of hard work in just a few weeks. This year, shift your perspective. Try to see the holidays as a

Benjamin Franklin famously said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” He was talking about fires in Philadelphia, but he could’ve been talking about personal health as well. Unfortunately, since Franklin’s time, modern healthcare practices focus more on treatment of existing problems than on preventing them. “Get sick? Take a pill” seems to be the way we look at everything. It’s also a common approach people take to their own health. I’ll smoke till something ba

Here’s a big lie that too many people use as an excuse to stay inactive and unhealthy: Taking action (in this case, exercising and eating right) uses time, money and energy that I just can’t afford to lose. Phew. Of all the reasons I hear from people saying they would LOVE to get in shape but they simply CAN’T… well, this is what they boil down to. And the worst part is, it’s just not true! I know that exercising and eating right does the opposite. Healthy habits PRODUCE AND

A common concern I frequently encounter among those inquiring about my coaching, is changing a soft body (commonly referred to by so many as “skinny fat”) into a firm body. Many people share their frustration with me about putting so much effort into exercising multiple days per week while paying attention to their caloric intake, but still not seeing the physical results they desire… And you may be experiencing the same issue. It's important to understand that achieving your

Today I want to spark your inner fire, providing you with the fuel to overcome obstacles and ignite your passion. Everyone needs motivation, even myself, and it's not a one-time fix. Motivation, like self-discipline, requires consistent practice as both thrive on one crucial factor: ACTION! We can think and fantasize all we want, but if we don’t take action, nothing will come of our thoughts. Action must be taken, and that action must be consistent over time. And I'm not talk

Last weekend my husband and I went hiking at Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas. I also did an extra hike up Lone Mountain as well. It was beautiful, challenging, and I loved it! The fall scenery is beyond breathtaking but let me tell you a little secret. Hiking during this season is not just about enjoying the beauty of changing leaves. It's like a secret treasure chest of fitness waiting to be discovered! So, imagine this: You, your friends or some well-deserved "me time," and th

I hope you've been having an amazing 2023 so far! Can you believe we're already in the final stretch of the year? Well, get ready because fall is here… Cooler temperatures, more foliage, and the chance to snuggle up in cozy clothes. No matter what your autumn jam is, there's no need to let this season mess with your healthy groove. In fact, I see it as the perfect opportunity to take stock of your progress, make some fun tweaks, and dive into something new. So, let's dive int

It’s time for a pop quiz! Don’t worry... There’s just one question. Who’s in charge of your life? If you answered “I am,” then congratulations! You’re right. You are the only person ultimately in charge of your life – good or bad, right or wrong, healthy or not, happy or not. The power to create the life you want is within YOU, nestled alongside that awesome concept of personal responsibility. They’re joined at the hip, those two, and that’s what I want to write about today

You're standing at the crossroads of change, ready to step up your game in the healthy habits department, but you’ve learned in the past that it’s not always so easy. We've all been there. Yes, the struggle is real! But guess what? There's a method to winning at this, and it involves the powerful trio of acceptance, vision, and alignment. Acceptance. It’s about acknowledging where you are right now. Not where you WERE or where you’d LIKE TO BE. We’re talking about right here

Have you ever struggled to forgive someone? I mean someone who hurt you bad. A friend, a family member, a lover… They lied to you, they betrayed your trust, they left your emotions torn and tattered. Sad to say, but we’ve probably all been deeply, profoundly wronged at some point in our life. But here's something that might surprise you: Forgiveness isn't just about mending your heart and spirit; it can work wonders for your physical health, too. Medical studies have shown th

When we’re exercising and eating right, there’s a lot of talk about calories. But all calories are not created equal. And simply counting calories isn’t the best way to managing your food choices. But understanding macronutrients – such as protein, carbs and fat – will help you make smarter choices for you in the food you prepare, buy and consume. Here’s the breakdown. A single gram of protein has 4 calories. It’s the same for carbohydrates. Each fat gram contains 9 calorie
