I have had a lot of weight loss success. I have also had even more weight gain success. For every weight loss success or failure there is a story. I am always curios about people’s stories and that may be why I became a teacher and a weight loss coach. I truly enjoy hearing people’s stories. Nothing is completely black or white and in the gray is where the story lives.
On my run today, I passed for the 2nd time a baby blue, long sleeved dress shirt laying in the gutter. When I first saw it I wondered how

I don’t think so, but maybe it should be. Personally, the hardest ‘sport’ for me to successfully do is to sit still, be quiet and relax. I remember the episode on Grey’s Anatomy where Derek takes Christina fishing and I so related to Christina. She wanted to talk about what they were doing, move to another spot where there would be more fish etc. Derek insisted they just sit still and not talk and watch their lines. Being at peace with being still.
When Olympic Athletes are training, they have intense schedules, practice their sport almost to the exclusion of

Well, the bathing suit is purchased even though we had to go to 3 different stores. Bought the bottom at one store and had to go to 2 more to find a top. Beach bag has been gone through and repacked full of good books, highlighters, chap stick, sunglasses and will be adding my Nano later today. The marine layer is not supposed to burn off until after noon tomorrow, so better add a sweatshirt to my bag also.
Trying on bathing suit bottoms caused me to really look at the top of legs and was dismayed to see how

Happy 1st day of the 2nd half of the year. Loving my first 6 days of My One Year Total Beachbody Immersion. I am a beach girl and have loved the beach and the ocean my whole life. Some of my coolest memories of childhood are me out in a wave somewhere and loving it. My parents used to rent a place at Belmont Shores when I was around 6 or 7 I think. We were on the beach and my dad would go to work from there in the morning and come back after he got off. During the

Let me begin by saying I have always been a huge fan of Seth Godin, all the way back to The Purple Cow” days. I was actually reading “Tribes” when it was announced he would be the key note speaker at our Team Beachbody Summit this year. Saturday afternoon, when Seth did his 1 hour presentation surpassed by expectations and walked out wanting to read and reread everything he has ever written.
Of the 3 Core Vital Behaviors Carl discussed at Summit to achieve Success,

Because I have been on a weight loss journey for the past 5.5 years as a Beachbody Coach and a fan and believer of Dr Fuhrman’s Eat to Live program, people are asking is this a new commitment, re-commitment, continuing the same thing or what? And I guess it does sound pretty confusing. I have started and stopped so many things, switched plans mid stream and spent so much time looking for the next best thing. When instead, my focus, time, money and energy could have been better invested on just doing what works and keep on keeping on doing

Sitting here in my room, looking out at the Las Vegas skyline, I am once again committing to lose these last 100 bounds. Day 4 in Las Vegas at the Team Beachbody Summit 2012 and tired, embarrassed, disappointment to be here for the 5th time and still be 100 pounds overweight and still a 1 Star Diamond. I was 1 of 9 speakers who shared their “Definitions of Success” at the Team Genesis meeting on Thursday morning. As I stepped onto that stage I was feeling like such a hypocrite. I was still fat and had not progressed as far
