Yesterday, Monday morning of spring break for Baby Girl. I woke up early to do my daily gig as a trainer and whip my clients booties. No lunch to make, no morning routine to rush through. After three straight hours of gym time, I returned to a quiet house at 9am. AWESOME. I 'll have… Continue reading Spring TEEN

SHAPE
Recently Sports Illustrated featured a plus size model on the cover of the 2016 swimsuit edition. Ashley Graham is a 29 year old model who boldly stands at 5'9.5 inches. She is all things beautiful and deserving of this historical accomplishment. I have always believed that beauty is not a cookie cutter or a one size… Continue reading SHAPE

Now, if you ask my mom, she would politely pause followed by a calculated sentence similar to this, "Well,… Continue reading Power Trip
May I take your order?

The trick is learning how to masterfully manage the food surplus. I get a lot of questions about food, particularly about how I intently place an order… Continue reading May I take your order?

Years before You Tube and social media, I jumped off a treadmill at the local YMCA to greet and hug an old friend. In my excitement I failed to hit pause or stop… Continue reading Treadful
EDAMAME
Food for thought. If cardboard and air could hook up and have babies, I think rice cakes would be the offspring. Gosh, do you remember the rice cake craze? It was the mid 90's and everyone on a "diet" was eating rice cakes. Thank the good Lord it was short lived. Where had… Continue reading EDAMAME
Kiss me, it’s March
Thankfully, Dallas, Texas experienced a significantly mild winter in comparison to previous years. Unfortunately, there was not even the tiniest glimmer of hope for a snow or ice day. The mittens, hot coco and constant stream of kids tracking in and out of the cold sadly bypassed our neck of the woods. So now what?… Continue reading Kiss me, it’s March
