Since I had so much success last week with Menu Planning, I’m doing it again this week. Monday Sweet and Spicy Vegetable Stir-Fry Tuesday Pork and Butternut Squash Stew Wednesday Fish Chowder Thursday Chicken and Rice with Steamed Broccoli Friday Lasagna stuffed with Spinach
A new week and a new month full of new beginnings, but first let’s reflect on last week’s challenges and successes… I ended last week on bad note exercise wise, I didn’t do a full workout for 2 days, instead I did 15 minutes on the Weider Step Machine and […]

I finished the EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge this morning and I am so proud of myself. The last time I stuck with an exercise program for longer than a week was when I joined the Army (and that was a long time ago). When I started this challenge, […]

Today is the first “official” day of Pete Cohen’s 28 Day Challenge for the Mamavation Mom applicants. I have to say, I’m pretty excited about this…. I’ve never had a personal weight loss/life coach before so I’m totally feeling like a celebrity. I consider Pete a life coach because he’s […]
