I was listening to a podcast (The Sheri + Nancy Show –it’s fun) and they were interviewing Dr. Ivan Misner, founder of BNI, a huge international networking group. He’s written a book called “Who’s in Your Room?” about the quality of your...
Remember Karate Kid?
The original, of course.
It’s that 1980’s coming of age movie where an older jaded karate master coaches a bullied boy to greatness.
One of the most memorable parts was Mr. Miyagi’s teaching style.
The boy, Daniel,...
What do a 50-pound weight loss and building a business have in common?
Well . . . I’m in the thick of building a business right now and the ups and downs, frustrations and elations are reminding me of my 50-pound weight loss journey.

A lot of weight.
She’d been heavy her whole life and had recently gotten married at her usual size, but something finally shifted and she started a weight loss regimen. She was doing amazingly well.

In last week’s Ounce of Prevention, Hunger: Part I, we talked about, you guessed it, Hunger—specifically Over-Hunger and how to prevent it with the use of the Hunger Scale (download your printable version here).

Claire wanted to lose weight.
So she woke up Monday morning, made herself a cup of coffee (black) and went to work.
No breakfast.
She figured she wasn’t that hungry anyway and she’d be saving calories, right?
Not likely.
We...
I can tell without even looking at a clock, when it’s close to 10:30am.
How?
Because my stomach starts grumbling a bit and my focus is a little off—I’m getting hungry. It’s time for my mid-morning snack!
I eat a modest breakfast at 7:45....
Weight-creep is when your weight consistently increases over time.
Very slowly.
You may only notice it only in hindsight. A pound or 2 in a couple of months, barely noticeable, right?
It adds up.
Whenever I determine it’s time to get any...
Now that we’ve Debriefed the Holidays (Step 1) and Stepped on the Scale to assess our current situation (Step 2), we need to decide on a strategy and start (Step 3) if we want to get back to our pre-holiday weight.
Decreasing the calorie intake and/or increasing the...
