Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all of you! May 2010 bring joy, happiness & endless health!

The new year brings a time of making new promises and resolutions. Jump into your new year with a new goal! I leave you with this quote...jump into something really great!

“The jump is so frightening between where I am and where I want to be...because of all I may become I will close my eyes and leap!” ~Mary Anne Radmacher

Grow Your Own

It's official! I am officially the proud owner of an herb garden. I'm starting off slow with cilantro, basil and oregano. I am comitted to grow tomatoes and maybe lettuce as well though. It's fun and how great will it be to be able to pick my own herbs and produce?! :)

I challenge all of you to grown one of your own items. Whether you pick an herb to spice up your healthy food or one produce plant. Let's start taking what we eat back into our own hands!

Good luck!

Menu Modifications

We're always working on the retreat to make it a better, healthier experience. We've added a few new items to the lunch menu.

It Takes Hard Work

I have experienced many people lately who want weight loss NOW! Guess what! It doesn't happen like that! I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the reality is that weight loss is hard work and it takes consistency, dedication and some good old fashioned elbow grease. If the weight isn't coming off, ask yourself these questions...

1. Am I drinking enough water?
2. Am I REALLY working as hard as I think I am?
3. Are my meals truly the size and portion amount that I need?
4. Have I added extra calories in here and there that may be contributing to not losing?
5. Is the number on the scale the most important thing or will I judge my success by an article of clothing?
6. Am I being to easy on myself?
7. Am I being to hard on myself?
8. Am I taking RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY OWN ACTIONS?
