Eating Green Equals More Lean!

Two of my colleagues and very good friends are known for saying: you have to eat “lean and green!” Sounds simple enough, huh? But then there is the anti-veggie center of the brain that screams out, “Oh YUCK! I hate veggies!” Admit it; it is true! Those same thoughts that you had as a kid have followed you to your adult years. If you are one of the lucky ones, you may not mind veggies, but you still don’t consume enough of them in your diet!

I am SOOOO excited to start exercising! Are your REALLY? (Part I)

In my nearly nine years of service in the health and fitness industry I have noticed a common thread among those starting a fitness program for the first time.

You Are What You Eat, Think, and FEEL!

Hey there! How is life treating you today? This is a common question that I often ask my clients and my audiences. The response I usually receive goes something like this: “Oh, well, you know . . . just another day in paradise.” This would ordinarily be a fantastic answer, but the problem is that the answer is usually uttered in a complete state of sarcasm.
