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,...

Your Body's Not a Garbage Can Mar 06, 2019

 


 

Years ago Anna, a new friend, was losing weight.

 

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.

I LOVE February!

 

There’s Valentine’s day and a 3 day weekend (I’m old enough to remember when there were 2 days off in February!). Winter is ending, the days are getting a bit longer and the promise of Spring is in the air.

What's Bacteria Got To Do With It? Feb 20, 2019

 


 

 

Many people I’ve helped tell me they think of me fondly . . . every time they go to the bathroom.

 

It’s because their symptoms were eased by my suggestion for increased water and daily Metamucil (or other such psyllium husk product).

 

I love this...

You just got off the phone with your sister who, once again, dropped the ball when it came to doing her part in caring for Mom.  So typical and frustrating and unfair!  Ugh!!

 

Why does a muffin sound so good right now?

Hunger: Part I Jan 30, 2019

 


 

 

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?

Strategic Snacking Jan 23, 2019

 


 

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....

4 Steps to Stop Weight Creep Jan 16, 2019

 


 

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...
