A question I had when I first started losing weight is "How do you exercise with kids?”. Of course, I was originally seeking how to fit exercise in with all the other duties a mom has. However, I’ve tried taking on a new approach- how do I exercise with my children? Walking If there is any…

Some friends have asked me "When do you find the time to work out?". My answer is: it varies day to day. It gets a little difficult to have an effective workout when your young kids want to join in. My kids have almost been kicked by a bicycle crunch or knocked down by jumping jacks as they…

Success comes in cans, not in cannots Joel Weldon Growing up, my soccer coach (AKA Mom) had rules she would have us recite at every practice/game. The last rule was always Positive Mental Attitude. "If you think you can't, you won't. If you think you can, you will. And we will!" I said this phrase…

If you are like me, when you first heard of a green smoothie, you probably thought "What in the world is that?" I thought they were smoothies flavored after something green like pistachios or limes. Nope! Green smoothies are a great and delicious way to get some veggies and fruit into your diet. It's a…
