Being completely honest I would describe myself as simplistic and habitual. My alarm goes off at the same time every morning, I'm out the door and off to work around the same time each day, my dogs (3) and I walk about the same time and relatively the same
+ more bio informationYou hate the way you look and feel. Nothing fits right, you avoid mirrors. Can't remember the last time your shirt was tucked in. You went through some drive thru for breakfast so now your whole diet's blown and there's no sense even trying today. You know what you should do, but you don't have time to do it. You know what yo... More..
I'm willing to bet that nine times out of ten I log onto my computer somewhere in the headlines of my homepage there's an article about weight loss and simple moves to a flatter stomach. I usually read them too; I like all the different ideas and usually incorporate a few. Somehow though, I think the vast majority of people a... More..
My family has always been animal people. Our house was always full with critters, some pets, some mending until they could go back in the wild. But, for the majority of my life, I was the child in these scenarios. My responsibilities included cuddling and petting. When I became the mother of a baby grey tree squirrel it was a... More..
Do plastic bags multiply under your sink, spilling and bulging out excessively as you search for other supplies that once had a comfortable home there? Eventually are you so frustrated with the excess baggage (literally) that you toss all but possibly five or so away, just to reclaim some sanity in the form of space? If this ... More..
Being a mom does NOT mean that one is or will be fat. If only mom's gained weight then that would imply that any woman who is childless does not face weight gain. We know this to be a false.

We know food has the capabilities to put on excess weight, clog arteries, and cause hyperactivity, but is the reverse true? Can a healthy diet reverse these adverse affects? If one is diagnosed with an illness should food be used as medicine? Food i... More..

Complications of this disease are many but, to list a few, include higher risk of heart disease, neuropathy (tingling of limbs and... More..
Sets, high reps, low reps, circuits, max load, failure, etc. etc. Wow! No wonder exercise can be so confusing. If I had actually been inclined to learn exercise jargon before delving into the wonderful world of weights I am not positively certain I would own iron. Now the question arises, how much weight should one use? If yo... More..
Not surprisingly, kitchen mishaps and sunburns are what most of us think of when burns cross our mind. They're common enough and aside from the initial discomfort we really don't think much of them. Causes of burns go beyond this, however. Dry heat (most household mishaps), wet heat, electricity, friction, radiation, and chem... More..
Free radicals are unfortunately produced naturally each and every time our cells use oxygen. Obviously, halting our oxygen intake is not a healthy option to stop this. Fortunately we ourselves have the power to neutralize free radicals within our body just by eating. We've all heard of "super foods" (we'll come back to these ... More..
