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 [...]

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 [...]

We have a friend in town visiting and exercising came up as a topic of conversation. He wants to start to implement an exercise routine into his life- but he’s confused. What time is the best time to workout? Should I eat before or after? What about when I shower? All this changing in and out of clothes, showering and eating [...]

We’re having company this weekend. As you know, I try not to keep crap in the house that I don’t want to eat- I know if it’s there, I’ll eat it guaranteed. But, I also don’t think it’s fair to assume that company is going to eat the way we eat. I mean, I make yummy [...]

The following back exercises end our No Weights. Just You. series. This doesn’t mean that there are no more exercises you can do at home with no equipment. There are hundreds! But I think it’s time to move on.  If anyone has any requests for other types of exercises, let me know- otherwise, I’ll stick [...]

I am a big fan of Sprouted Grain bread. What does this mean? Well basically, the grains are soaked before they are ground- keeping the vitamins, minerals and nutrients in the grain.  The brand I buy, and the one that is most readily available in supermarkets is Ezekiel 4:9. It: 1) Forms a complete protein comparable [...]

Well, I have to say I did O.K. Not fantastic but O.K. If I hadn’t gone in with a PLAN I don’t think I would have done as well as I did. I had my one glass one wine and milked it. I served myself a very small first plate. I have to admit, I [...]

Canadian Thanksgiving is around the corner. You would think this wouldn’t effect me, living in America and all, but I’m Canadian (Go team!) and all my friends are Canadian, so we get two opportunities to celebrate the harvest! The reason I mention this is because big dinners tend to stress me out. I don’t want to over-eat. In fact, if I’m [...]

I just came back from Revel Cardio Dance Studio on Ventura Boulevard. www.reveldance.com. My friend Vicky Pratt opened the studio about a month ago. It’s kinda like a fun dance studio for non-dancers. Thank goodness for that cause a dancer I am not! My husband came with me and we took the body ballet together. It kicked our [...]
