Reset with Results – Start the New Year Better

When will it be the right time to change? - What does the New Year mean to you? Maybe you sit down and set goals or get focused on what you want to achieve in the coming year. Maybe you re-evaluate your life and what you have accomplished in the past year. For 2021, I have heard many people talking about getting back on track after the train wreck of 2020.

Entrepreneurial Energy – How to Generate More!

Big Business Energy Busts - As a business owner and entrepreneur, I know firsthand what it takes to get a business up and running and the energy it takes to keep that business moving in the forward direction. Most of us here in Calgary were feeling the downturn of our local economy well before the beginning of 2020 and then shortly there after we shocked into a new reality with the onslaught of COVID-19. Stress is one of the partners in many of our businesses as we need to pivot, roll with the punches and use creativity.

Motivation – Where oh Where Have You Gone?

Are you struggling to get yourself going?

If there is one strong undercurrent I keep hearing and that has been implied over and over during the past few weeks it’s that people are losing their motivation during this strange time we are living. It’s harder to get out of bed, it’s hard to keep working out and it’s hard to keep eating healthy.

Transit Time Talk - Are you Pooping Enough?

How Much Time Should It Take? - Are you Moving Fast Enough?

I did a little experiment. I ate some foods that would indicate how long things take to move through my body. This is called my transit time. The time it takes food to travel from my taste buds to the toilet. I was curious; would my dinner show up after breakfast? Would it take longer? I was fascinated to find out I had an almost 48-hour transit time! The slowest on the range of what is considered normal and for my goals, not at all optimal.

COVID 19, Self-Isolation, Quarantine – How Are You Coping?

How Are You Doing? Really Doing?

It’s been two LONG weeks. Two weeks of working from home, kids home from school, parents attempting to educate their kiddos and maintain some kind of normal. How is everyone doing? Have you had a chance to evaluate how well you and your family are coping? This is a whole lot of change all at one time and now might be the perfect time to take a good look at what kind of coping mechanisms you are using to offset some of the building stress.

Are you Struggling to Maintain Weight Loss? Here's Why!

Why maintaining Weight can be HARD!

There is a good deal of preparation that goes into changing your lifestyle and your food choices, maybe even your activities when you start to think about losing weight. How much thought goes into how to maintain that weight loss you worked so hard to achieve? Usually very little. I have personally NEVER heard of a weight-maintenance plan being offered. Well, until now…

Probiotic vs. Probiotic - Have you heard about probiotics? These microbes are mostly found in your large intestine and are live bacteria and yeasts that are not only good for you but essential.

Can you see it? Where will you be NEXT January?

The Power of Visualization

January is just about to end and I’m curious about how the first month of the next decade has gone for you? I have made a little headway on my own goals and have put some new ideas into place but to be honest, not much has changed. Is this a pattern for you? Every few months are you starting over again? Trying something new? I do it because it’s my job, but for years I know I was doing it because it was my pattern.

No Shoes Nutrition & Practical Nutrition In 2020

Practical Nutrition

There is so much nutrition data out there. We are bombarded with good, bad, and ugly every single day. There are reports that certain foods are good for us, then the next day that same food will cause cancer. There are “fad” diets for weight loss and “protocols” and “treatments” for certain ailments. But at the end of the day what is right? What do we believe, who do we believe and where do we turn to for the information that will be most helpful? More importantly, what are we supposed to eat?

The Sleep Review – Could I Keep Up?

Did Increasing my Sleep Help?

This past week I made a real effort to increase my sleep in an effort to help reach my health and wellness goals. I would like to report that I succeeded in every way, that I followed my own recommendations exactly. Unfortunately, life got in the way. It happens, I know it better than most but I will not give up! I had family visit from out of town, I had work that needed to get done and let’s face it, sometimes as a Mom, I just need a little quiet time and the evening/night is one of the only times I get that.

Are you Sleeping enough?

I’m a mom, I run my own business, we are selling our home and I volunteer my time at my kids’ school and in the community. I also have hobbies and activities I love to participate in. So, when, do you ask, do I find time to sleep? Well, it has recently come to my attention, thanks to my body giving me some not so subtle signs and symptoms, that I am NOT getting enough sleep.

Accountability: What is it and why do I need it?

What or who are you accountable to?

This is the definition of accountability but what does that actually mean? Accountability is the act of taking responsibility for our actions in a transparent manner. It means owning up to our actions whether they are for the good of ourselves or others or whether they may not be.
