In this article, I describe how powerful it can be to apply the simplicity and common sense of The Wellness Formula to your fat loss and weight loss goals.
In fact, if you DON’T understand some of the core components of how this formula works – how health is created and how illness happens – chances [...]
You may have noticed that I didn’t post the work outs I was doing while we were on vacation last week. (I wasn’t being lazy… I had committed to writing an article about weight loss and fat loss each day for various publications and chose not to do BOTH, that’s all!)
In a nutshell, I did [...]
Here’s an article I recently wrote that describes the “right” kind of exercise to boost your metabolism and kick your fat loss up a few notches!
(ALL exercise is good, and we physiologically require a variety of motion. But, certain types of exercise are superior for fat loss.)
Here’s the link to the article:

Here’s an article I recently wrote that briefly explains how toxic choices we may unknowingly be making can directly sabotage our efforts to shed excess pounds of fat.
Once you understand the key component of fat loss that I describe in the article, you will finally have a much better chance of achieving optimal body composition!
You [...]
Some of you are aware that I’ve been working on this project for the last couple of months. I’m excited to announce that my latest ebook and audio book, “The 7 Essential Keys to Shedding Toxic Fat & Unwanted Pounds” is ready to roll!
This is THE last weight loss solution you’ll ever need!
You can check [...]
Apparently, I have subconsciously adopted a “diet” strategy that keeps my family and me pretty darn healthy and without too many worries about weight gain.
I didn’t realize until a few days into vacation that, back home, I don’t each much junk because I DON’T BUY much junk. If it’s not right there in front of [...]
We’ve been blessed to be in Maui for a few days now. I am grateful for all the forces that united in order to make this happen for us!
I’ve been taking mental notes of all things health-related since our arrival, which is pretty par for the course with me! I take it all in: healthy [...]
I’d like to apologize for not being as regular with my postings as usual in the past week or so.
I’ve been spending most of my “Dr. Mom focused time” on a book I’m hoping to complete within the next week ~ “7 Essential Keys to Shedding Toxic Fat and Unwanted Pounds… The Wellness Way!”
(By the [...]
Each day, I’m focusing on doing something that falls under the “cardio umbrella” of exercise.
Some days it’s pretty traditional endurance-type exercise, while other days it’s anaerobic burst-like intervals. At the very least, every day I do a few minutes of calisthenics to get my blood pumping and metabolism kicked in first thing in the morning. [...]
This can be a tricky time of year if you’re a health-seeking social butterfly!
Like no other time of the year, we tend to be inundated with opportunities to stray from our healthy habits. Parties, family get-togethers, holiday festivities… coupled with less daylight, colder temperatures and oftentimes less desire to get out and exercise. Oh, and [...]
Yesterday I went for a nice, long run. Longer than I’ve been running lately, anyhow!
It was such a gorgeous, sunny fall day. The country roads that I run on were bursting with autumn color… my favorite areas are the several “tunnels” of trees that encase the road at multiple points along the way. Stunning!
These are [...]
This latest book (and its accompanying products) by one of my favorite Health Brainiacs, Mike Geary, has just launched!
You’ve heard me talk about Mike here before… I love what he has to say about nutrition, weight loss, fat burning foods, the truth about diets, fitness, exercise… love it! He’s a Certified Nutrition Specialist and a [...]
Good one today. Quick, powerful, sweaty. I like it! Sweat reminds me that I’m doing something worthwhile… or so I tell myself!
The work out:
25 lunges with front foot up on Bosu ball, rear foot up on couch – holding 2 x 25 lb. db’s
15 two-arm rows with 2 x 25 lb. db’s, standing on Bosu [...]
Yesterday, we combined our Environmental Discovery Center field trip with a cardio work out for mom and dad, and a cardio/power work out for the kids!
My hubby and I rode our bikes around the entire metropark, pulling the kids behind us. Great work out! (This time, HE actually pulled the trailer… I would have packed [...]
Yesterday’s work out was another high-intensity, calorie-burning, fat-burning resistance training routine. Each set is somewhere between 20 – 30 seconds, with very shorts rests between sets – about 10 seconds, or at least that’s what I’m aiming for!
I think I’ll do these types of work outs for at least another week or two before I [...]
I’m loving these high-intensity work outs… sort of!
I love that they’re SO quick and there’s no wasted time whatsoever. That being said, it’s a big challenge to keep the rest periods so short (ha! If you can call 10 seconds a “rest” period!). Each set is usually somewhere between 20 and 30 seconds.
These work outs [...]
My newest theme with these resistance training work outs is short, intense, quick-paced work outs with very, very little rest between sets.
I’m doing the set in 20 – 30 seconds with 10 seconds of rest between sets. Sometimes it’s a bit longer than 10 seconds… but I’m trying to stay pretty close to that. I [...]
Yesterday, I did an AWESOME work out… totally intense, quick and focused. And I’m feeling it in the “right” places quite a bit today! Always good feedback!
A good friend had reminded me of a particular type of work out that is centered around 20 seconds of super high intensity exercise, followed by 10 seconds of [...]
Yesterday was resistance training day.
I procrastinated for quite awhile over this one because it was finally a gorgeous sunny day at the same time I was home to enjoy it! BUT, I felt fantastic once I finally convinced myself to get inside and get it done!
The work out:
25 squats on flat side of Bosu [...]
Funny fitness fans!

My kids have grown up understanding that regular exercise is part of being healthy. I love it now that they’re both big enough to join me in my routine. Well… sort of!
Their work outs usually end up looking more like the one in the video!! Good for a [...]
