This past weekend was a diet disaster. I am going to have to work out A LOT to avoid some major angriness of the scale. Schedule conflicts have made it hard for me to get to the group exercise classes that I love. When I don’t exercise enough, I don’t get the benefit of the [...]

Challenges, Challenges
Posted in Uncategorized on August 16, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I often ask my clients what they would like for me to do for them, and how they would like to be coached. An answer I hear a lot is “Challenge me”. Everyone loves a challenge…it’s a thrill to work toward a goal that seems from some angles to be impossible. It’s a total high [...]
Shameless Self-Promotion

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated this blog because I have been very busy business building and getting ready for a local Healthy Challenge event here in Grand Rapids.
I have some exciting announcements, however! I have launched my new E-zine which will be published bi-weekly and will contain loads of informative articles, interviews, recipes, tips, [...]
Failure – NOT AN OPTION
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged failure, opportunity, success, work on July 24, 2008 | 3 Comments »
So many people claim that the reason they aren’t doing what they want to be doing is because they are afraid to fail. I always follow up that statement with this question: what does failure mean to you? Failure is a GOOD thing most of the time. It teaches us that something we are doing [...]

It’s the first day back from a 2-week break from classes. I’ve been spending a lot of time working on my upcoming newsletter and other marketing materials. Trying to keep up with my exercise to keep the weight coming off.
There are a lot of things on my “TO DO” list that I am not particularly [...]
Another Rant…I must vent!!!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged abuse, appearances, disrespect, vent on June 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I am a pretty easy person with whom to get along…not much really makes me angry. Except for one thing: people who continually allow themselves to be disrespected and abused when they have the power to change things, but they don’t “to keep up appearances”. It is something I think of a lot, because I [...]
The Kid Inside Us

Remember the days when we were young and carefree? Times were different then…we’d play outside all day long, not wanting to come inside to eat or take a shower or go to bed. In many ways it was awesome…but for some of us, there are some things from out childhood that stick with us as [...]
Challenging Clients

Out of my handful of clients, I do have a couple that pose unique challenges. Many people do not really understand what a coach does…as one of my favorite ICA instructors says, a lot of people seek to hire “a professional nag”. That is certainly not what I would like to be!!! I really would [...]
Do You Need a Cheerleader?

Let’s face it, sometimes life is just not that exciting. Sometimes our responsibilities seem like daunting chores, which causes us to procrastinate or not put our best foot forward. Even when we want something really badly, it’s always nice to have someone who supports us and cheers us on. So often, we just don’t have [...]
Results Not Typical
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged eating, fat, healthy, skinny, weight loss on June 6, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I can’t help but notice that on every one of those weight loss program commercials where they show clients that have had amazing weight loss, there is always a disclaimer in TEEN TINY writing that says: *Results not typical.
Why not? What do these companies not want you to know? As a savvy consumer, I [...]
