Let me ask, how many people keep a weight loss journal? No you say? In return you might ask, Why should I keep a weight loss journal? To be honest, it is almost imperative to keep track of your success, and the best way is through journaling.

Typically pain and suffering. That’s right. When you get to a point when you are no longer emotionally disturbed and distressed by your excess weight, then it’s critical that you keep your weight loss journal up-to-date.

Is There A Difference Between Juicing and Blending?

Just the other day, a client asked me… What is the difference between juicing and blending? Now, that is a very good question.

If you are like most people, you simply do NOT drink enough water during the day. Now the average person will drink liquids, but that is typically in the form of coffee, or soda or even some diet drinks… but that is not water!
