My brothers are computer geniuses.
I’m quite the opposite
When they talk shop, it’s like hearing another language. I don’t get it but I’m grateful to have them on speed dial (wait, I guess everyone’s on speed dial these days . . .)

One of the best things born of staying-at-home is my husband’s hidden chef-ing abilities.
Thank you Food Network!
Many new and delicious dishes have graced our plates and I’m tickled and oh so appreciative.
You see, even though it’s hard for...
Things are shifting.
Can you feel it?
We were told to stay at home.
We did.
And it worked.
We flattened the curve and saved many hospitals from having too many critically ill patients at one time.
But as we start our 3rd month, many are asking, “now...
If I somehow unsuspectingly walked into a room and found myself confronted by lights and a camera and a microphone held by the one and only Oprah and she asked me to name the ONE THING that makes the biggest impact on weight management, I know exactly what I’d say.

The curve is flattening. It’s working. And we have to continue our careful behaviors...
In the past couple of weeks we’ve discussed How to Cope Without Eating Everything in Sight and The Best Way to Prevent Cabin Fever, you can catch up here and here.
Regular movement plays a role in each strategy, anchoring your day and getting you outside (if...
As the home sequestering continues and the idea that it’s months long sinks in, we need two things:
- Compassion for ourselves as we grieve this understanding

[By the way, everything needs this. Compassion and a plan is how literally everything gets done,...
We’re in a trying time.
It’s asking us to do things we never thought we’d have to do.

That’s a recipe for 24/7 anxiety soup.
Stress hormone is not meant to be elevated for long periods of...
March is Maintenance Awareness Month here at Maintenance University and we’re going back to the basics.
Last week we defined Weight Loss Maintenance answering the question, What is Maintenance?
This week we look at a Why . . . why is weight regain so common...
March is Maintenance Awareness Month!
Well, at least it is around here :)
(I wonder what it would take to make it official—that’s going on my to-do list!)
All month we’re going to talk about the basics of Weight Loss Maintenance so we’re...
