Award-winning blog
Belly fat, weight loss, nutrition, fitness, motivation — oh my!
Every Thursday I tackle these popular topics of interest to women over 50. I wrap it all up in a humorous package to make it easy to digest.
In the process I also give you a glimpse into the struggles of my own life – the good, the bad, the scary, and the comedic.
I promise you will always walk away with real, actionable advice you can use.
It’s why my blog was recently given an award for the #1 Fitness Over 50 Blog.
In a rush to get all the latest and greatest? I also send out each post in the form of a newsletter in which you can subscribe.

How to exercise when you’re hurting
This week I spent two days at a business event. As an introvert, that very sentence is enough to make me want to hide in a closet. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy meeting people, especially since I know many in this particular group. But being in a roomful of other...

The secret to creating lifelong habits no one tells you
We met with our financial planner last week. First, let me say right out of the gate that dealing with numbers is as appealing to me as a plate of dried rattlesnake meat. In other words: NOT AT ALL (unless you include a kickbutt BBQ sauce, then I may be on board)....

3 Exercises to tone you all over
