This is a tough time! I see the M& M’s, the Whoppers, the Snickers, Tootsie Rolls, Skittles and the rest and I don’t know where to begin! This stuff is normally never in my house so I’m never tempted to eat it. And here it is, ALL OF IT, in tiny little packages haunting me! [...]

I think everyone loves the idea of useing a stability ball to work out! So, I thought I would provide some basics for you to get started whether you have a ball at home or use one at the gym! If you have any specific muscle requests or any questions about using a stability ball [...]

I train people in their own home so sometimes my clients will have their children with them. One of the things I love to do is include them in the workout! How? We play a game called- what kind of animal are you? If you have kids try playing this game with them for 20 [...]

Our bodies need calcium – in my opinion, dairy is the best way to get it. From one glass of non fat milk you can get over 300 mg of calcium! That’s almost 1/3 of your daily requirements! (Which are 1000 mg a day incase you didn’t know.) I am not a doctor, but it is my [...]

I love this recipe because it’s rich in protein and high in calcium. Did you know that your body actually uses the most energy to digest protein? This means you burn more calories digesting protein then you do digesting carbohydrates or fat! And because it takes longer to digest, you stay fuller longer too! Make this the night before and pack two slices for lunch [...]

How does one simple number have so much power over us? The scale is like this magical object that we love to hate. It can actually control our mood for days, even weeks at a time. And you know what? The scale lies! It’s true! So, I try to make it a rule not to [...]

I had kinda a crappy day. Not to get all whiney or anything, but some days are just not as fun as others. On a day like today- I like to feel the comfort of home, especially living so far away from home. Nothing makes me feel all warm, fuzzy and full of love like [...]

I believe it was the 80′s that coined the phrase ” A moment on your lips, a lifetime on your hips.” 1980′s your so right! It’s oh so easy to pop num nums into your mouth, but that 800 calorie Cinnabon is going straight to where you don’t want it to go-  and it’s going to stay there. What [...]

I make this at least once or twice a month. It’s a great idea that not only looks fancy, but it’s made in one pan! Healthy, quick, easy and delicious! Roast Turkey Breast with Vegetables Serves 4. Oven at 325. 2 ½   – 3  lb turkey breast Place turkey breast in roasting pan lined with foil. [...]

No, not cash silly! I wish I’m talking about steps! Walking! I try to wear a pedometer everyday. (For those that don’t know, a pedometer is a little gadget you clip onto your waist at your hip and it counts the number of steps you take.) Why? Well for one, I live in Los Angeles -a city [...]
