A few of you have written in with suggestions for a post on how to control your snacking. To be honest, I've avoided a post like this (until now) because it's something I don't think I've completely mastered - I still struggle with late-night snacking when I'm...
How is your 30-Day Ab Challenge going? I'm already feeling the burn! If you haven't joined in, it's not too late! It is too late, however, to write a real Work Out Wednesday post today (it's in the very wee hours of the morning as I write this, but I'll wait to...

Due to yesterday's beast of a post on how to cook for a group, I'm going to keep today's Motivation Monday relatively short. Enjoy! We all know that work makes it more difficult to stick to a healthy lifestyle - it can mean rolling out of bed far earlier than you'd...
