Hi Everyone, One of the first steps towards permanent weight loss is not changing your foods…but changing your thoughts! With that in mind, here’s some "food" for thought!

Usually when we talk about dieting, we talk about deprivation. We think of all the foods, treats, desserts and snacks that we can’t have. We feel that the only way we can get the weight off is by depriving ourselves of these “forbidden” foods and wait for the day we can indulge in them once again. We place these foods on a pedestal because somehow they have a magical, mystical power over us. We feel powerless when these foods are around us as if somehow they are forcing us to eat them.

Hi Everyone,

Think you can’t get a great workout without money for equipment or a gym membership? Think again! Here are a few exercised that will shape, tone and sculpt your entire body without spending a penny.

 Cardio
Got stairs? Run up and down the stairs-It’s the same workout you’d get on a
stairmaster.Go for a walk, jog or run outside. Strive for a target heart rate zone that’s
challenging yet doable.
Borrow your child’s jump rope for an intense cardio blast. You can create your own
"boot camp" cardio class by jumping rope to get your heart rate up, then doing
various resistance exercises to tone, sculpt and strengthen.

Hi Everyone,

Recently I was asked to offer a few tips on making better food choices, curbing portion distortion and ending "mindless munching" for an upcoming article. Here are the tips I gave which you may find useful.

Some tips on making healthier food choices:

·         When food shopping, shop the perimeter. The healthiest choices are found on the outer aisles as opposed to the inner aisles. Shop for fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, low fat/sugar soy products and low fat dairy. Fill in the inner aisles with high fiber whole grains, beans, frozen vegetables, nuts and leave just a little room for portion controlled snacks and sweets.

Hi Everyone,

Summer means we have access to the some of the freshest, most delicious nutrient rich foods available. Many of those foods give us glowing skin, better vision, silkier hair, a stronger heart and a better functioning digestive system.

Here’s an article showing you which foods you need for a lean, toned and healthy body…from head to toe.  Click here

Hi Everyone,

When I started Lifestyle Fitness, Inc., one of my goals was to find a new and different way to give back. I’d worked with moms who’d made such incredible lifestyle changes and it just didn’t seem right to not acknowledge those changes in some significant way.

I came up with the idea of my charity program where each month, 50% of any profit from anything I do goes towards charity. Each month, I also choose a "Mom of the Month" who’s made significant lifestyle changes-(for her, she’s not being compared to anyone else).

 Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to share this great review with you for my book The Lifestyle Fitness Program: A Six Part Plan So Every Mom Can Look, Feel and Live Her Best. Here it is:
