Bread. Soft and chewy, firm and crusty, savory, sweet, tangy, versatile, love. Bread is the love of my life on most days. Filling, bloated, energy-high, energy-crash, gut bacteria, slowed metabolism, still love. We love bread and bready things. It’s comfort, it’s tasty, it’s harmful to many or to most. Maybe on average we eat too […]

I’ve never been a stress eater, in fact, I’m more of a stress non-eater. I forget about food, I’m not even hungry during stressful situations. We all react differently to stress and we can react differently to each type of stress we encounter. For some of us, frustration or feeling lack of control in a […]

I would guess that the majority of us makes a New Year’s Resolution. I would also guess that it starts out strong and maybe by the third week it begins to fade and by the second or third month we have forgotten about it completely or at the very least we struggle to keep it […]

Let’s talk about low blood sugar here. Someone in one of my coaching groups asked about it and so I thought I’d share my response. I’ll start by saying this happens to me very often if I don’t eat throughout the day, My friend Kathy can back me up on that one as it happened […]

When you learn the proper way to do something, you will find more understanding and have a steady journey. The path may twist and turn and climb uphill and flow down gently but it will always take you forward; trust it. When looking toward a big goal, it’s often helpful to make small goals along […]

Colors are a very personal preference for each of us. We all have our favorite color and for me that color is light blue…and various shades of pink…and more recently, orange. Orange?!!
