Plans – the Blueprint for Sanity
May 18, 2012 | No commentsI just completed the first week of the first actual work out plan that I have ever had for myself. Yes. I have been at this for 7 years. Yes, I know I should take it seriously...which apparently for some means, having a plan, but for me, it just doesn't work that way most of the time. Call me Ms. Spontaneous...or Ms. Fly By the Seat of Her Pants - whichever you prefer. You can also call me Ms. Excuse Maker as well as Ms. Everything comes before myself. This is why I needed to buckle down and set up a plan....

But, but, but I don’t wanna!!!
March 22, 2012 | No commentsThis has been me…for the past two weeks. Maybe more. I have been so stinking busy that running has been at the bottom of my list of priorities. After running every day for the first two and a half months of the year, I have been flat burnt out. My body has been aching and more »...

Shoes: Why I go Bare
March 17, 2012 | No commentsI ran a 5K with my dad this past weekend. I ran most of it bare footed. As we would trot past people, I heard all sorts of comments about my bare feet. What always strikes me as funny is that people think that being barefoot is strange. To me, it is the most normal more »...

Your Morning Kick Start
March 13, 2012 | No comments
It has been as controversial as any news event. Is it better to? Is it better not to? I am talking about eating breakfast. For generations, we have been programmed to think that we needed to have a meal the moment that our bodies hit the ground in the morning. Eggs, hash browns, pancakes, juice, toast. You name it, we shove it in our faces as we try to get out the door in the mornings. How healthy is it for your body to go from it's state of rest, to digesting a full heavy meal? I will give you a hint: Not very....

It Doesn’t Have to Be
March 8, 2012 | No commentsAs a nutrition professional it really disturbs me to see people who are constantly sick and who are overweight making excuses for their state of health. Because, the majority of people that come to me for help are either sick frequently or need some help dropping weight, I hear it a lot. It's blamed on allergies. It's blamed on medications they are taking. It's blamed on their jobs. It's blamed on everything...except for themselves. Why does your health have a lower standard than anything else in the world? Why are you ok with being anything less than wonderful? Complacency perhaps?...

There is No Magic Pill
March 2, 2012 | No comments
Wake up people. You can not expect to reverse and eliminate years worth of bad habits with a magic pill. Every Sunday morning, I wake up and watch the news. I am also usually met with one of those lovely infomercials advertising Sensa. When I don't get inundated with Senseless Sensa, I am hit with some exercise guru stating that by spending 159.99 on their plan, they can give you washboard abs. It. Drives. Me. Batty....

Answering the BIG Question
February 27, 2012 | No commentsWhen people find out that I am a vegetarian, I am met with all sorts of things. Curious looks. Blank stares. 5000 questions. When I was new to this gig, it used to intimidate the heck out of me. I was always afraid that I would somehow be challenged by someone who knew more than more »...

Words from Shelah
Some days, I feel like a caveman. I can’t think of a better way to describe what I believe in. Fuel yourself with natural foods that are free from garbage like preservatives and artificial ingredients and then allow your body to do what it was created to do – naturally. It’s not rocket science but people seem to have had so much garbage shoved down their throats by the fitness industry that no one really knows what to believe anymore. I just help people get back to basics.
