Texas Recovery

Last week was an absolute whirlwind bustling around Texas promoting New York Times Bestseller Your Best Body Now, hence my absence from blogging as I try to get my life back in order. It's amazing how quickly laundry and bills and work pile up when you're away for any length of time, let alone 1 week.

I enjoyed my time in Texas and hope the message of living a clean and healthy lifestyle was spread as best as possible. We certainly had a lot of press coverage and events. Thank you to everyone who came out to our Gold's Gym seminar and to our Journey to Health event in Corpus Christi.

I met a ton of people, including Angela Schwarzbach seen to your left, and gathered a great number of success stories that I hope to share with you on my website very soon.

Overall, it is my sincere hope for folks in Texas and everywhere to become aware of how serious a problem being overweight is. It affects individuals, families, communities, states and nations on a palpable level. It is no laughing matter & it needs to be dealt with NOW! You have the ability to make a change within you today. So in the famous words of Nike, JUST DO IT!

Still Whirling About

Has it really been 5 days since I have last written? Where did the time go? I think I hit the ground running as of last Monday morning and still haven't stopped!! My family and I have flown to Texas for the wedding of a family friend. We've just spent 14 hours traveling due to heightened security measures. It took us 3.5 hours to get to our gate. I am by no means complaining since I understand the need for traveler safety, but I am still surprised by the wait times. Thankfully the agents at Pearson in Toronto kept things moving along quite well. I am now one very tired lady because I have been up since 1am. I am taking some down time now before catching up with my kids for a movie. I just wanted to let you know I am alive and kicking even thought I have been absent for 5 days. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I am going to follow up with some pictures very very soon. In the meantime, I have 2 videos to share with you:

WGN Chicago

CTV News

Thank you so much for the GMA feedback. See the post below if you missed the video. I hope the ones above are equally as educational.

Only a few more days until our Eat-Clean Diet Makeover Challenge closes. Keep up the good work participants. You are ALMOST there!!

And only a few more days until New Year's Eve. Time to work on those resolutions! What are yours?

Finally, the ECD Recharged hits shelves in January (if you haven't been lucky enough to get it already). I'm excited!! Here's a sneak peak at the totally revamped book!
