What I Learned About Fitness by Painting a Wall

To be a great coach, I have to relate to my clients. I don't struggle (much) with my fitness or nutrition anymore, so it's good to humbled in another arenas. It allows me to feel the frustration of learning, change, and set backs -- since that's part of transforming our health and bodies.   What better way to dish up some humble pie than getting my ass handed to me in a DIY project.   "What could be so difficult?" I thought.   Well, a lot apparently.   Here is what happened and why I think it was...

How to Manage a Holiday Party

This article assumes: 1. You are trying to stay in shape or get in shape 2. You are going to eat some treats and have a few drinks at some parties.   For each party, pick a strategy: Are you going to eat anything you want? or Are you going to use moderation? or Are you going to be strict?   I plan ahead to dictate this.

Picky Eaters: Four Moms Interviewed

“I don’t think there is such thing as a picky eater,” said one of the mothers I interviewed recently.   But another one suggested, “Some kids are just picky eaters.”     I don’t know which mom is correct, nor do we have a fail-safe system. But this article does have lots of innovative and old-school ideas that work. I interviewed four great moms: My Mom (I was picky) My Aunt Lynne, the mother of a farming family (no picky eaters) A current-day mother of triplets, age six (one picky son, two girls who are good eaters) A...

This is a bloated list, so pick a few of these proven methods that resonate with you. 1. Bring healthy food to a party and watch the social experiment unfold!
