The Weight Watchers Oprah Dream Team
I heard on local radio that Oprah made 12 million dollars yesterday by posting a 30 second Weight Watchers commercial about eating bread daily to Twitter. Her six million shares in WW stock jumped by two dollars per share following the spot. People are definitely buying in. I find myself wondering what else Oprah eats…
Always, Always Choose to Dance
This is my best friend of almost 20 years, Tracy. We’ve grown through a LOT of versions of ourselves over the years and look at us, still together. She’s the one with the goods. The holder of all the secrets and the awkwardness. She’s seen all the ugly and insecure bits and helps me move…
When the student is ready
“When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” There seems to be a bit of confusion as to where the above quote originated but it is most often attributed to Buddha. It’s one of those sayings that has always stuck with me, and I’ve seen it play out many different ways in my own life.…

The Only Detox You Need
No matter what your best friend from high school/cousin/colleague/random Internet marketer tells you, cleanses, detoxes, laxatives teas, and jump-starts are bullshit. Sure, you’ll spend tons of time on the toilet eliminating waste and water from your cells and digestive system and maybe see a temporary loss on the scale, but its just that, temporary loss…
Move More!
If you’ve got a trainer that prescribes to the idea that you need to push yourself to total exhaustion in order to reach your goals, it’s time to fire his or her ass. We are led to believe that if we aren’t sweating or dying or fainting or puking, the exercise or movement we’re doing…
Burnout Baby
The comparison trap, levelling up, and burning out. It’s beginning to sound a lot like the holidays around here.I have to admit, I still feel like a baby in this industry sometimes. There is so much I have to learn. I’ve managed to surround myself with some of the best in the business in this…
Elf Shamed
I was Elf on the Shelf shamed by a lovely lady cashier at the nicest grocery store within driving distance of my house this week. We had made a family outing of our trip to the metropolis (3,000+ people!) close to us. The grocery store was the third stop. The children were irate and…

VOTING IS CLOSED! I need your help! These 6 women were among many who worked their butts off in my group challenge that wrapped up last week. My leaders and I are having a heck of a time deciding who should win so I am turning it over to…
