Tricks to Avoid Halloween Treats - Part 3

11:17 AM Mon, Nov 03, 2008 |

The Trick or Treaters have come and gone, and if you were lucky you were able to give away all of the Halloween candy you purchased. But that doesn't always ensure you aren't exposed to candy.

The Week After

Be accountable: If you have kids, regardless of how much candy you were able to unload on the neighborhood trick or treaters, odds are you still have candy in the house. Make a pact wit...



Tricks to Avoid Halloween Treats - Part 2

5:25 PM Thu, Oct 30, 2008 |

Yesterday I discussed ways to handle the Halloween candy shopping experience. Today in the grocery store I ran into one of our Boot Campers who told me she only expected about 3 trick or treaters.

"Very good, Dad!"

"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.

"Yeah!"

"And what did you learn?"

The son a...

8:32 AM Tue, Aug 05, 2008 |


Renee commented today that she is working on improving her diet and her goal is to eat more balanced healthy meals. While most would agree that this is a good goal- a lot of people don't know what constitutes healthy.

In the 90's people became fat phobic. So healthy meant fat-free. In the early 2000's carbohydrates were the enemy and so healthy meant carb-free. Now, in 2008 we're finding ourselves somewhere in between (Than...



Write it Down and Lose More!

10:28 AM Fri, Jul 18, 2008 |

Have you been struggling to take off those last few pounds? Don't start another diet. Grab a pen and paper and get to work!

A recent study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine showed that "Those who kept daily food records lost twice as much weight as those who kept no records. It seems that the simple act of writing down what you eat encourages people to consume fewer calories."

Start by purchasing ...
