Read MoreI used to go all out on Thanksgiving, like 2-3 plates all out! However, I would feel sick the rest of the day and I wouldn't’’t really even get to enjoy it. That is not fun either. Instead I serve myself a little bit of everything and sit down and talk to those around me. I would honestly just scarf down the food without even looking up and kept eating and eating like an open pit. I prefer not to do that just so I won’t feel sick after and get to enjoy the rest of my night and be able to rest up for BLACK FRIDAY

There’s just something about cold temperatures and a nice big bowl of Mac n’ cheese or a nice warm cup of chili that brings the whole Netflix n Chill to a whole new level.

Read MoreYou are not alone. Many of my clients come to me with some sort of trauma they’ve had with the weight scale. There is a 50/50 chance that they NEVER use that dreaded object. Some of them hide it away in the bathroom closet collecting dust and occasionally let it catch some light when they want to weigh luggage to prevent that $50 “overweight” fee.
Read MoreCoffee has been my addiction but I do know that it isn’t that great for you. So I have tried to like green tea because of the many health benefits it has. That was a fail. I usually just end up throwing the tea away (I know, so sad). I gave up on my attempts of trying to get into the “tea” world and came to terms with the fact that my love for coffee will just have to do.

Read MoreSkincare is extremely important to me. I've always been pretty good about taking care of my skin but now that I'm 30, I feel like its a whole different ball game.

Read MoreCravings. Everybody has them. At times they get to be too much and its just easier to give in. Its those evil cravings that can hinder you from achieving your fitness goals. I, for one, hate staying at home with nothing to do. All I want to do is eat because I'm bored.

However, there are ways to beat those cravings.
