Where food, fitness, and fun are a way of life!
Greetings!

Right around this time each year, the holiday binge guilt fades while New Year diets get ditched. And by the end of next week, the most popular machines at the gym will be free again.

Abandoning good intentions isn't a sign of failure; it simply illuminates the frailty of poor planning. Rather than committing to an impossibly long list of drastic changes, try slowly integrating lasting lifestyle changes into normal living.

And getting a little professional help doesn't hurt either. A dentist for your teeth. A stylist for your hair. A plumber for your drain. A wellness coach to kick your healthy living plans into full gear!

Oops! While canned soup is souper salty, the lower-sodium versions available from many companies can go a long way towards turning soup into a nearly perfect meal. There's only one problem:  The soups lacking sodium are often lacking something else - taste... Read on 

 
When it comes to creating a wellness plan, finding the right motivation often helps propel us into action. Take me for example: I have absolutely no problem making it to the gym for my workouts. In fact, I plan my entire day around that time.

Now before you start rolling your eyes, let me explain...

My gym features a daycare that watches my kids for up to 2 hours a day for - get this - $10 a month. Are you SERIOUS??? Heck yeah, I'm going to the gym. Even on days when I'd rather shoot myself in the big toe than exercise, I still go because it's much better to just sit on the bike with a great magazine and pretend to peddle than it is to spend the entire day at home with 2 toddlers and a bloody hole in my toe.
