Tuesday, January 6th, 2009You have probably heard that in France they eat bread and cheese and sip wine all day. How do they do it? Researchers believe it is the size of the portions they eat that makes the difference. The belief is that Americans will feel deprived of the value they are receiving or feel less sated with smaller [...]

Canyon Ranch Spa and Fitness
Monday, December 29th, 2008I took my daughter to Orlando for one night this weekend to go see a show called ICE. Its 2 million tons of ice and its amazing.

Duathlon Training Begins
Friday, December 26th, 2008I have done triathlons, a half marathon, a few adventure races and now I have set my sights on a duathlon.

Suzanne Sommers 8 Steps to Wellness
Friday, December 19th, 2008I was watching CNN this morning and Larry had Suzanne Somers on the program. I have not heard much of Somers besides Three’s Company and the inner thigh gadget she was promoting for a while but she caught my attention nonetheless.
Somers has written a book, “Breakthrough: Eight Steps to Wellness” along with a team of expert anti-aging [...]
Best Workout Music of 2008
Thursday, December 18th, 2008This year I have made countless playlists for many types of classes and here are the songs I found the most motivating and inspiring for me.
