Starting a Healthy Lifestyle… AGAIN!
Every year in January, I begin a healthy lifestyle which only leads to failure. I’ve tried Keto, Mediterranean, Atkins, Vegan, Vegetarian, Plant-Based and so many more, but the only one that has worked for me in the past was Weight Watchers. It was sustainable. I could eat meat, carbs, fruit, veggies, dairy, and sweets. So…

It’s Beginning! Broken Gridlock
My flight was delayed at Newark Airport, so I went to the restaurant for a drink, the bar was still closed for social distancing. My life was a constant whirlwind, so this was expected. “Can I order a glass of Pinot Grigio, please?” I asked the waitress. “Sure, I’ll bring that right out.” She said.…

You Write the Script
