For the competition, I have a great trainer who worked with me this past weekend on training my back. Some people may find these moves to be different than what they are used to doing in their routines. These are a little “advanced” and by that I just mean if you aren’t used to lifting… Continue Reading
My girls are crazy about their fitness goals. I don’t know what it is that I do to them, but it’s amazing the way they workout. Most of them have gone from timid women who never lifted more than a 3lb pink dumbbell to freaking gym rats (or home rats) who love nothing more than… Continue Reading
Two of my clients have arrived early for Phat Camp. We are having a great time and talking about all sorts of interesting things. One topic that came up so much last night was Fat Girl Thinking (FGT). If you read my blog regularly you know what this is. FGT is a place all of… Continue Reading
When I grew up I remember going on diet after diet trying to lose weight. That was back in the day (late 80′s to early 90′s) where you tried to eat as lowfat as possible, filling up on sugary, fat free food items, avoiding eggs like the plague, and Lord help you if you ate… Continue Reading

By week three… Continue Reading
One of the quotes I tell people often is… “Losing weight is 80% what you put in your mouth and 20% what you do in the gym.” Think about that for a moment. 80% of what you do in terms of reshaping your body is the food choices you make. So, what would be my #1… Continue Reading
Some of you might think when I lose a client that it is a bad thing for business, etc. Sometimes I lose clients because they aren’t prepared for the lifestyle change and some people need face-to-face help. Online training can be a perfect for some and not the right choice for others. I work hard to establish an… Continue Reading
It is important for each of us to have goals in our weightloss journey. A deadline looming, a shiny carrot dangling in front of us…both make the journey fun and rewarding.
