What I Learned from Wearing a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)
Over the past few months, I experimented with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM)—a small device you attach to the back of your arm that tracks blood sugar in real time. I’ve always been sensitive to blood sugar swings, but earlier this year I noticed those “funny feelings” happening more often. Out of curiosity (and concern), … Continue reading What I Learned from Wearing a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)
Where Do You Want to Be Next Year?
As we approach this busy holiday season, it's not too early to be thinking about next year. It starts with halloween candy and runs right into pumpkin spiced everything fattening & nice. It then glides through sugarplums dancing on every table, and it doesn't slow down or stop until we find ourselves in mid January wondering what happened to the gravitational … Continue reading Where Do You Want to Be Next Year?
My Story
Admit it, we all love a good story and the juicier the better. We will lean in close every time, especially when it gets personal. But when it comes to sharing our story, we hesitate just a little.

Sweet Victory of Reaching the Goal
It all started as a kid on the monkey bars. You know the bar -- the one just a little out of reach. You do a slight little jump, grab hold with no problem (much like a skilled and graceful gymnast) and then just hang there because you're not strong enough to pull yourself up. … Continue reading Sweet Victory of Reaching the Goal
But I Don’t Want To
“Darling, you need to eat your green beans.” “But Mom, I don’t want to. I don’t like green beans.” “But dear, they are good for you and help you to grow and to make you strong.” “I know, you done told me that, but I don’t like ‘em”. I don’t want to!!! We all really … Continue reading But I Don’t Want To
The Best is Yet to Come
Nineteen-eighty something: I’m in my teens with bright hot pink lipstick, big hair and Sassoon jeans that I had to lay down to zip. Luke and Laura dominated afternoon tv and no one I knew owned a computer or a cd player. I used my jam box and an audio cassette tape to work out … Continue reading The Best is Yet to Come
