Persist Until You See Results
Hello wellness friends, I hope you are taking care of yourself. I wanted to chat with you about persistence. It is important to understand that lifestyle changes and persistence are more important than quick fixes. Every fad diet I have ever tried failed me. They did not shift the way I perceived food.

What’s On Your Plate?
My plate tonight was grilled lemon chicken, roasted potatoes, arugula salad with almonds and cherries. The dressing is olive oil and vinegar. Quite tasty. Desert will be a banana with mixed nut butter. One of things I loved about the Whole30 program was it forced me to cook more, to try new foods, and develop…
What is Refined Sugar Doing to Your Body?
One of the blessings of Whole30 is that it is a refined sugar free lifestyle. Refined sugar is in many items we purchase including salsa, salad dressing, and ketchup.

Mental & Emotional Health 101
Today's post tackles emotional and mental health. We live in a world of dysfunctional people; they are people who hate themselves and have no clue who they are.

Say No to Body Shaming
Aloha fitness and wellness friends, Today I wanted to talk about something that I believe impacts lots of people. It is body shaming. Body shaming is refusing to love your body or trying to make others feel bad about their body. You see it on the internet. People troll others social media and make nasty…
Slow Progress is Better Than No Progress (December Challenge)
Hey fitness friends. I hope you are sticking with this challenge. How are you doing? How have you managed through all the Christmas/holiday parties and baked goods galore? We have been at this for 24 days. I can report that my pants are baggier, my stomach lost several inches, and I am seeing greater muscle…
