  • Workout to start your week

    Plumbline boot camp was the same routine we did last Thursday — and it was hard, challenging and I did not finish. I managed to complete half of Round 6 when time was called and it was already past camp time – so I stopped there. I still burned more calories than I have in…

    My friend Sara told me yesterday that I may want to stop referring to my ‘new’ eating approach as Paleo and just start talking about it like it is — healthy eating. Using the term ‘Paleo’ may turn some people off because they may correlate it to another one of those diet programs.  She is…
