It is now four days since Easter. Have you yet had the courage to look in the mirror at your face, your belly when you step out of the shower? Did you finally get up the courage only to become totally distraught at the image before you? Two articles on today’s oprah.com caught my eye. [...]

A New Beginning
April 8th, 2010Another Way to Look at Compounded Interest…
August 21st, 2009This week I have been talking about “releasing weight” slowly over time. A little effort over a period of time = amazing results. This morning on my walk, I listened to a recorded call by Robert G. Allen, best-selling author of The One Minute Millionaire. Bob explained it this way: Take $1 a day, each [...]
Little Baby Steps…
August 20th, 2009I have been writing the past couple days about “releasing” weight. Today my mind is swirling thinking how it all happens. At the 5:30 am Jazzercise class today one of the participants made a comment that me stop and realize that it was the baby steps that led to a noticeable result. “How much weight [...]
Carbs…Out of Control!
August 19th, 2009A funny thing happened at the upscale restaurant this weekend.

The carbs in a vegan diet are [...]
Only Open Door #1
July 10th, 2009Tonight is Margarita Friday. Every Friday night, whether I need it or not, we go to the local Mexican establishment, and I get my weekly dose of toxin, i.e., one margarita. : ) I look forward to that treat – especially now that I have been following the diet plan that Dr. Gabhart gave me [...]
"Spring Cleaning" for the Body
February 24th, 2009Spring is just around the corner, the time to start thinking about putting on a bathing suit. Yikes. Even more challenging for me this spring is that 10 weeks from now my husband and I will be taking a trip to Greece. We have been talking about it for a couple of years and finally [...]
