My own motivation has been a little lax lately. There’s no real reason…it just happens every once in a while. You’re coasting along and every thing is hunky dory. Suddenly, you realize that you are sitting like a bump on a log, you haven’t exercised in a week and yes you did eat a whole […]

Just when you think you’ve got this whole healthy living thing figured out – something jumps out in front of you and trips you up. Your vices. Pitfalls. Weaknesses. We all have them. The trick is figuring out how to own them and show them who’s boss.
My pitfalls? Oh, there are MANY. Believe me. But it’s […]
