    This is a really good thing to remember:   “You can’t exercise away a bad diet.”-Mark Sisson And it really is true — you see it all the time. People who literally work their butts off in the gym and for as hard as they work, still have to lose those extra pounds. Can you…

  • ‘Tis the Season

    Last night Scott and I attended his company holiday party. It’s fun to get all dressed up and go out with the sole purpose of having a good time —  open bar, lots of food, dancing and fun. It was a good time all around. I had a glass of wine and some prime rib…
