  • Take Care Of Your Teeth: It’s Important

    I spent the good part of this morning in a dentist chair getting drilled, polished and thoroughly entertained. Entertained you ask?

  • Obesity at Disney: A Snapshot of Our World

    It was 6 years ago, during my last trip to Disney,  I started to get my ass in gear and began taking care of myself. Having just gotten back a few days ago from my family’s latest trip there, it became clear to me how many people in the world need to do the same. Before I go off…

  • Body Image: Let’s Take a Stand

    We are headed out on a much needed family vacation for the next few days. The kids are out of school and we figured what the heck. We haven’t had a long family holiday in a while. I’ve been super stressed out and not feeling myself, so hopefully it will be just what I need…

  • Fitness And the Over Forty Crowd

    I’ve been so tired getting used to my new routine with full time work so I decided to try going to some evening workout classes instead of getting up super early in the AM. I’m not sure if I like working out so late in the day – I prefer to get it over with…

  • Keep Learning Online For Free
