How To Successfully Achieve Your Healthy Eating GoalsIt's only mid-January and I'm already rethinking my New Years resolutions... That sounds like a very indecisive way to start 2009.

Subconscious Weight Control TacticsI have two techniques I subconsciously use to control my weight, only they're not subconscious now because I'm aware of them.

Who Else Wants To Lose Their Winter Weight?I've decided my eating habits and exercise routine need a serious overhaul. We live near the beach so I'm blessed to be to walk there several times a week. But, where once those walks were rather energetic experiences that meant I arrived home puffed and tired (I'm thinking that means I've been good and got my heart rate up) nowadays my walks are more a leisurely stroll that generally involve stopping for a chai latte at the local cafe...
