Forward movement and change
This re-post seems fitting…Deep into production of my upcoming cookbook, Shop, Cook, Eat: Outside of the Box, I had to make a difficult change. A decision. For a myriad of reasons, I had to change print companies. Since they printed my first cookbook I felt I owed it to them to let them print my […]
Do You
This post was originally written about two weeks after Farewell Fatso! made it’s debut. Just think if I would’ve listened to the person who was trying to give me advice… Thank goodness I didn’t. Along my journey to combat obesity and create a healthy lifestyle for myself –I’ve shared my trials, triumphs, and story with […]
The Inauguration
Wow. Whoa. What a turnout! Last night, I facilitated the inaugural “5 or 50” Women’s Sustainable Weight Loss & Lifestyle group at the Cascade Park Community Library. 25 ladies showed up to hear my story and share theirs. I arrived to find several women there already in the lobby chatting. It was the coolest thing. […]
Inside out
My self-transformation and weight loss journey began with a walk. For weeks, prior, I was drowning my sorrows and escaping from my fears by sleeping the days and nights away. But, during the brief waking moments there was a nagging voice within telling me to lace up my tennis shoes and go outside and take […]
Repost: Small things
Often overlooked and less celebrated are small things. Small things are the foundation for big things. Without small things, well, big things can’t happen. Seems to me celebrating the small things en route to the big, ultimate things makes more sense. Why delay the celebration? Big things, are big, and they usually don’t come around […]
Be encouraged
Many of you have written to me to tell me I’ve motivated, inspired, and encouraged you along my journey, thank you. I feel honored to be able to pass on what I’ve learned, and to know that people look to me for ideas and motivation is just amazing. Remember, I’m the gal who use to […]

Grocery Shopping No-Nos
Arrrrrrrrrrgh. This blog post has been in me for a while, but Saturday it all came to a boil. I was at the grocery store restocking on produce — low and behold I spotted some major shopping offenses. The cart was being pushed by a young boy about ten years old and was full of […]
Repost — Chew: Real Food
Sparked by a conversation I had with the Wellness Manager at New Seasons Market today and with my upcoming cookbook — Shop, Cook, Eat: Outside of the Box, I felt this was worthy of a repost… You can trust what I’m about to say. After all, I use to live inside the box — the […]
