You read that right. Who doesn't want beautiful legs and a beautiful tush? Right now, my right knee is sounding like a bowl of rice crispies... Snap, crackle, POP! Ugh.. it's totally discusting. If you capped your hand over my knee, you'd think that my knee cap is all crumbled up into tiny pieces and it's all just kinda FLOATING in there. What's up with that??? Well, I believe it is due to years of lunges. Lots of em. Like laps around my … [Read more...]

My Simple Sweet Potato Fries
I LOVE LOVE sweet potato fries, and it makes me happy to know that they are also a healthier alternative than regular french fries made from regular potatoes (so that means I can eat more, right?? HA! I wish!). So I make these as a great side dish for our family dinners and they are super duper easy. All you need, is your sweet potatoes. Peel them and slice them pretty thin (not TOO thin, but not too thick either). Then I toss them in a … [Read more...]
Armed and Ready
This is one of my all time favorite sayings because it can apply to every aspect of our lives, but I love it when it comes to health and weight goals.... I shared this statement all the time with my Weight Watchers members when I was a leader and it's SO true. If you're not "armed and prepared" when hunger or meal time strikes, you can very easily eat something thats not as good of a choice because you're STARVING, you don't feel like … [Read more...]

A different BLT.

Self Control.
Ponder this... Do you eat to live or do you live to eat? It is my belief that 2 of the greatest pleasures in life are food and sex. Think about it.... am I right or not? We can leave the sex talk for another day! So then I'm challenging you to think of food and "diet" in a different light... Why do you eat? Do you eat what you eat because it's YUMMY? Does it make your eyeballs roll to the back of your head? ... oops, lets not confuse that … [Read more...]
