OK, getting ready for my new 90 Day Challenge. Starting this weekend with the "New" Visalus 90 Day Challenge. As my new cover photo says, "I will say no to junk food". Carrots instead of Candy, Bananas instead of Baked Goods, Fruit instead of Fudge, you get the idea... :) More details to follow...

Just read an article in the New York Times about the average kid's breakfast. The average kid's cereal has more sugar in it than 3 chips ahoy cookies!

I have to plug this book. An amazing story about the most obese city in America and the steps they have taken to change. I promise, you will look at food differently after reading this book! An inspirational story!!

There are no guarantees, but I have increased my chances of seeing them grow older ten fold! :)

Amazing what obesity is costing us with increased health care. Short article about getting close to $300 Billion a year. WOW....

The total economic cost of overweight and obesity in the United States is $270 billion per year while the cost in Canada is about $30 billion a year, a new study shows.

I have done well for three years now on my healthier life style, but I still and probably never will be able to keep just anything in the house. It is a good thing it was only a SMALL bag of Paul Newman's chocolate chip cookies.... :)
