How to lose 50 pounds or more

Weight loss is a tough process.

I won’t sugar coat it.

Change – that is any type of change including weight loss – is uncomfortable.

But if the change is positive, pushing through the discomfort will strengthen every aspect of your being.

I know for a fact having personally gone through divorce, starting a business, and  working with clients who’ve lost a lot of weight, making positive changes on purpose makes you more resilient, energized, and present in your life.

So, if you’ve got a lot to lose, and you’re ready to get it done, here’s how I recommend tackling it:

Food Journals: Can they help you lose weight?

You might have thought about keeping a food journal, but have you ever really done it?

The amazing healing power of soup

As I write this, I’ve got a cold.

It started with a sore throat, then went into my nose, and now it’s a cough.

I’m sure you know what all that feels like.

And I’m not alone, my family has been lucky enough to be suffering along with me.

As much as I don’t like having a cold, the good thing is that forces me to slow down.

When I slow down, I take the time to rest… and make soup.
