Thanksgiving is the kick-off to the holidays.

The truth is out. Most people don’t succeed.
Last week’s blog entry was a bee sting to some of you. I mean, it hurt.

Is this missing at your book meeting?
You meet with your friends to discuss the latest book that you’ve all read.

Sometimes, we all need a kick in the butt to get things done. In my 15-plus years working with individuals on body shaping and weight loss, I have heard amazing things that individuals do when gaining weight. But also have I seen amazing results when strategies were implemented and followed.

But then there are the leftovers. How about a little pie for breakfast? It is too good to go to waste. And the feast continues.
Weight loss is on many on our minds during this time. But the call to the dinner table wins out over the call to the gym. There we have a dilemma: Too stuffed to workout. Leftovers linger for days. And relaxation and catching up with friends and family is priority number one.
