The final requirement necessary, before becoming a Brooke Castillo Certified Weight Loss Coach, involves making a short video about yourself and what you do. I had such a blast creating and filming my video. This chick is all about fun, right-brain projects. The more technical parts and pieces, like downloading, converting, editing, exporting...OY VEY! My poor little left-brain was about ready to go on strike. Point is, I powered through it and got it done. If you focus on your goal and approach it with the right attitude, anything is possible.

A Kitchen Must Have
My hubby and I aren't the type to go overboard with gift giving during the holidays. We have LOVE, and that's the best gift of all. Yep, I'm a big old sap.

These Parsnips are Delicious!
Back when I was beginning my weight loss journey, I would stumble upon health articles spewing "nonsense" like, once you start eating a healthy diet, you'll no longer crave junk food. Really? My thoughts at the time were something like... "You're a wacky health nut, nobody actually craves that stuff." or "Seriously, you must have some mutant health food loving gene or something." Well, I'm going to share some news with you. Once you get used to eating REAL food and eliminate the processed crap for long enough, you really DO stop craving the junk. Seriously! Now, I am not a girl who was raised on health food. Most of the veggies I consumed as a kid came from a can, usually green beans or creamed corn. In my teens and 20's my diet … [Read more...] about These Parsnips are Delicious!
