Is Eating Breakfast Important for Losing Weight?
After I posted a update on my facebook fan page about being so full that I had to skip breakfast, I got quite a debate going on there. Got people saying:
“I thought breakfast was the most important meal of the day”
“Breakfast helps you lose weight”
“You should never skip breakfast because it slows down your metabolism”
And we got people on the other side...

Easy Summer Berry Sorbet
Today I was craving ice cream sooooooooooo bad but I promised myself that I would not buy any new food until I move. (My fave is Trader Joe’s Premium French Vanilla Ice Cream by the way!) I have 3 more days here in Boston and I’m cleaning out my fridge as best as I can before the big move to the West Coast!

Feeling Fat and Failing
I originally was going to post this last Wednesday but opted not to because after reading, I felt like such a whiny loser! But as I was going through some of my comments on facebook, I saw that a few of my fans were feeling alone and discouraged in their weight loss journey. Well guys, believe me when I say YOU ARE NOT alone. Even a fitness “guru” can fall. And choose to not get back...
