Goals, resolutions, gyms, workouts – it all sounds so exhausting. It’s January. We are all hopeful for change. Here’s what my January looked like three years ago…. My sister asked me to join the gym with her. I did. I said I would start working out. I did. I told myself I would not change…
Starting to lose weight is hard. Starting to lose weight again is harder. Maybe you’ve tried four or five times. Maybe it seems like this is your 45th time. Every time you try, it’s a very close distance to your last failure, until it’s not, because at some point, if you succeed, you’ll be closer…

What’s for dinner? Such a common question. But it’s 1:29 pm in the afternoon and I’m already thinking about my next meal. It’s important for me to know what my next meal is and when I’m going to eat it. Food is a VERY BIG part of my life and to “manage” it I have…
