Your bathroom scale: Friend or foe?

For many people, the only time they get on a scale is during their annual doctor’s visit—and only because they’re made to.

When a scale becomes your idol

Another Miss USA has been crowned. YAY! I don’t know who won but I did hear about a little controversy at the pageant.

Eating healthier: It’s a mental game

Having a healthy diet can be tough, and I found a great article about how to win the “mental game” when it comes to eating right.  Two things that stood out: WATCH OUT FOR THE “FREE STUFF” My dad has a saying “If it’s free, it’s for me,”  and I can’t help but think that I got my…
