When I think about spending an evening with Jillian Michaels, I immediately think buckets of sweat and a fierce attitude in your face. So I was skeptical when I heard about her “Maximize Your Life” tour. I know she offers motivation in the form of one-on-one talks on Biggest Loser, but t[...]

Sidelined and Other Ramblings
I am the perfect example of how not to take care of yourself. There are studies out there that show that stress depletes your immune system and once your stress dissipates your immune system is flooded and then you get sick. Well that happened to me last week. I was go, go, going and then I [...][...]
It’s Nutrition Month!
When I was working on a campaign for a diet company, we tagged March as the month diets die.

Apparently I am not alone though. More on-the-go Americans are consuming their morning calories over s[...]
