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!

When you adopt the Wellness Lifestyle and apply The Wellness Formula to your lifestyle choices, then your goal becomes BETTER HEALTH.

Your goal is NOT: weight loss, dropping sizes, lowering blood pressure or cholesterol, [...]
Here’s a work out I did a couple days ago – it was preceded by the early morning routine of “Spinal Hygiene” exercises (posture & proprioception), stretching, yoga and some calisthenics. After the work out I took the dog out for a short walk (about 15 minutes).
The work out:
20 squats on flat side of Bosu [...]
Yesterday was a running day. Brrrr… I’m getting colder as I’m getting older! It already seems tougher this year to initiate a run than it did ALL last winter. I could be in for a looooong winter!!
Yesterday, the roads I normally run on were icy and treacherous, particularly along the shoulder of the “busy” road [...]
Man, I’ve really been off my routine lately!
It has been a strange combination of cold weather and icy back roads where I usually run, as well as some challenges with coordinating work schedules… and the result has been that I’m not getting out for runs the way I’d like to.
So, I’ve been mixing things up [...]
The last few days have been filled with an assortment of exercise… none of it my “usual”.
Friday
I got up and did my usual “Posture & Proprioception” exercises, and then decided to add about 10 miutes of high intensity calisthenics, and then a few yoga poses. Strange combination! Then I took dog breath out for a [...]
OK… I’m back!
I took a week off from Dr. Mom writing in order to travel to St. Louis for Thanksgiving with my husband’s family and friends. It was all very nice and relatively healthy!
My sister-in-law knocked it out of the park with Thanksgiving dinner! We teamed up to make a healthier version of the classic [...]
My last run was a goofy one!
I knew I wasn’t feeling overly energetic when I was getting ready or when I first headed out. Usually, if that’s the case, I shake it off pretty quickly once I get going.
Nope, not this time!
The stars were simply not aligned for my last run. I ended up cutting [...]
Remember, these “Just One Thing” simple tips are meant to encourage you in your journey to better health. Each one is something relatively *easy* to accomplish… doesn’t take a complete life make over to fit it into your already-busy lifestyle.
You’ve probably ‘heard’ me say a hundred times, “Getting healthier isn’t about being perfect… it’s about [...]
Yesterday I mixed things up a bit.
I did 10 minutes of high-intensity interval resistance exercises with very short rest periods in between (excellent fat-burning exercise), then headed out for a run.
The “work out”:
30 squats with 35 lbs dumbbells on shoulders
30 push-ups
30 two-arm bent over rows with 2 x 25 lb. db’s
30 Pilates-like ‘reach & tuck’ [...]
I’m finally going to start writing about this topic, first, because SO many of you keep asking me to! Second, because the powers-that-be have pushed me too far by declaring this a national emergency. It’s more than my already-full brain can take.
I’ll tell you what’s a national emergency – the number of people who die [...]
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 [...]
A couple of nights ago I had the pleasure of giving my “Simple Nutrition for Maximized Living” presentation at a local gymnastics and cheer training center.
The coaches had expressed interest in this subject for quite a long time now. They clearly recongnize that when their athletes are fueling up with the proper nutrition, they are [...]
My “just one thing” recommendation for today has to do with salad.
First, eat more of it! Eat a variety of it. The fresh fiber in these leafy greens benefits our health on many levels. Make sure you’re getting darker greens, too… not just iceberg lettuce. Blech!
More importantly, I recommend that you make your own dressing, [...]
The other morning I did a work out at my dad’s place. He no longer has any work out equipment at his place, so I did a “body weight” work out in my room while dad and the kids were still asleep.
It was a new challenge because I needed it to be a quiet work [...]
Yesterday was a resistance training day. Back to the ‘high energy’! Whatever was dragging me down has apparently left the building along with Elvis!
Back to 20 – 35 second sets and 10 – 20 second rests in between.
Yesterday’s work out:
20 squats on flat side of Bosu ball with 2 x 25 lb. db’s
25 two-arm rows [...]
I know, I know… TWO cardio work outs in a row! What happened to resistance training?? It’s coming today.
The nature of my day yesterday dictated that as soon as my husband got home from work I needed to get out the door and get some ME time before I went completely loopy! Rough day.
Ahhhh… [...]
My last run was two days ago. It wasn’t pretty!
It was one of those days when my legs each felt as though they weighed 250 pounds! Sluggish would be an understatement!
Oh well, I kept chuggin’ along, watching the turtles pass me along the way, enjoying nature!
I ran 4.5 miles in about 42 minutes. No gold [...]
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 [...]
Ok. It wasn’t really a cardio work out!
Yesterday, we took our kids to Greenfield Village for a field trip. As a result, we walked for HOURS. Yes, hours! That’s got to count for something, right?!
Just to make sure that I fit in a little challenging movement, ‘cuz that’s the way my brain works, my [...]
