You Can Cook For Your Family
and
Stop Overeating


I remember the years of struggle.  I was trying to juggle all the roles.

Mommy - I had three children and the oldest was three and a half.

Wife - Married to a rancher/business man who was getting his business off the ground.

Cook - Something I did not come by naturally....and all the other roles.  

I had these ideas of what kind of nutrition I wanted to provide for my family, but I believed it took too much time and money.  With that mindset I went from over-complicating food prep to throwing my hands in the air and resorting to the quickest and easiest low quality items.  

All of this while I was so tired I could hardly function.  I remember waking up feeling as if I had not even slept. My brain fog was like a Linus (from Charlie Brown) cloud following me around.

To top it off,  I was cleaning up my kid's plates... all of it, closet eating my favorite sweets and rewarding my children with more sweets!  The pounds came on the energy sunk more.  

Does this sound familiar?  Are you overwhelmed with the struggle? 

Let me offer a little perspective.  There are three effective strategies that will help.

1) Start talking to yourself like a friend you hope your daughter will have.  One that is compassionate and encouraging. 

2) Create a 24 hour plan.  Make sure it is realistic and simple.  Don't spend more than three minutes on this.  

3) Follow through on your plan.  If it's on your plan, eat it.  If it's not on your plan, you can put it on the plan tomorrow.  

That's it! 

These three steps will create awareness within you.  You will start noticing how you speak to yourself.  You will start noticing that planning actually makes life easier. You will notice that you are someone you can count on.  You can honor your plan. 

“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. Christopher Robin to Pooh”


When you start implementing these steps 24 hours at a time,  you will notice that your brain will try making excuses and tell you you can't do it or that this won't work.  That's okay.  That is what human brains do. There is nothing wrong with you.  But notice that those thoughts aren't true.  

When you notice this,  I can help you process through it.

Vitamin D - The Divine Vitamin -D The Divine.   This is a Vitamin you don't take.   It is one you receive.                  Because the Divine is the source of power behind all powers, the chemistry created when we experience the Divine supersedes all known laws of the body.                   There's no question that faith plays a paramount role in life with The Divine. Yet in order to "have faith," we must have something else first. First we must learn to   trust              The nature of God is unchanging; The Divine wants only what is good for us.   It is true even if we are not doing well. It doesn’t depend on our capacity to do something, it’s really about His ability to do something for us. By trusting Him, we get a confidence from...

Your Future is Your Property

Your Future is Your Property Your future is your property and it is built one thought at a time.   How does it feel when you read this?   We are quickly approaching the beginning of a new year and we can create a year like no other for ourselves.   Here are a few steps I recommend for creating your future: Think about what you are thinking.  How are you thinking about you?  If your daughter or son had a friend that spoke to them like you speak to yourself, would you think they were a good friend? It is important to understand where we are with our thinking. Just like using GPS, we need to know where our starting point is.  Now that you have your beginning location, think about your destination.  It is your thoughts that will get you there.  If you want to lose some weight or organize your home or build your relationships, the way you think is the way to get there.  Speaking of The Way, how does HE s...
