Don't let this happen to your holiday health resolutions!
(btw-the man in the photo is my Grandpa)
We are deep into the holiday season. Before we know it, it'll be
time to make those RESOLUTIONS, yikes!! Many folks make lots of
ambitious vows to move into the gym to make up for all their
out-of-control holiday eating and lack of exercise. But what if you made
sure to fit in exercise NOW, throughout the holidays? How would that
affect your resolutions? Join me LIVE during the broadcast as
we discuss strategies to keep fit during the holidays. PLUS we'll talk
about how to make healthy, achievable and realistic resolutions for
2013!
We actually had a really, really great Thanksgiving here in San Diego. It was a beautiful day, we had the family together-a good time was had by all.
Less snacking, more crafting!
I'm fortunate that I don't really have to deal with many "food pushers" this holiday season, but if you need some help you can check out the article I wrote for Mamiverse HERE. These tips have gotten me through some serious holiday scrapes!
Tis the season! This is the time of year when I start pouring through every
holiday gift guide I can find, trying to zero in on the perfect gift for
everyone on my list. Yes, it's fun, but it's so time consuming! I can't tell you
how many times I've thought, "I wish I could just plug in my niece's (or
co-worker's, or client's) tastes and just get a list of stuff she'll like,
already!"
I can't believe it, but the folks at SheKnows have developed a CUSTOM GIFT
GUIDE tool, which gives you a list tailored specifically to the Facebook
preferences your family and friends!
Can you believe it's almost time for THANKSGIVING? What?!!

If you're like me, you don't like to show up to a holiday shindig empty handed. But, if you're also like me? You're a terrible baker. So I'd like to share a quick and easy fudge recipe that's sure to please your holiday hostess!
Election's over-LET'S EAT! Ok, maybe not so much, lol. Join me in the chatroom during the live broadcast
as we discuss tips and tricks to help you get through "Turkey Day".
We'll have ways to lighten up those traditional recipes and manage the
stress of this hectic holiday.
I figured I'd veer from the set topics for National Health Blog Post Month and encourage everyone not only to VOTE (seriously, VOTE!) but to consider walking to your polling place if you can. I know some parts of the country are suffering from horrible weather conditions, but if you're in Southern California like me it's a beautiful day to WALK to your polling place. EXERCISE your rights, people!
Need more encouragement? Here, once again, for your information and entertainment...fitness walker David Balboa and his Dolphin shorts!
Today's topic for National Health Blog Post Month: Disclosure post. How do you decide what to share? What do/don't you share?
Not that Nacho Mama's Blog is some juicy gossip site, but those of you who've been here for a while (and especially those of you who listen to the podcast) know I share pretty freely when it comes to myself: my health, my body image, my weightloss struggles, my disgraceful baking skills, etc. I don't want to bore you, of course, but you know what they say, "Write/talk about what you know." I also want to take the opportunity here to say THANK YOU to all of you who have written/tweeted me to tell me that you can relate.
It's TOTALLY not because I'm completely self-aborbed...honest!
Having said that, I do try to have some discretion where the other folks in my life are concerned. I know I have a tendency to "get going" on a story without checking whether the other characters are ok with my sharing our adventures. I don't always succeed in keeping mum, but so far I've managed to keep it from devolving into, well...
What don't YOU share? Do tell! I'm waiting. One ringy-dingy....(btw can we all just take a moment for the majesty that is Lily Tomlin and CHER? If you ever needed the courage to be who you are, look no further, people!)
Today's topic for National Health Blog Post Month: "Find a quote and use it as inspiration."
I DARE you not to look at Delta Burke! (image via Wikipedia)
I am always looking for inspirational quotes to help me along the road to health and fitness. Today I found this great one from (the CRIMINALLY underrated) Delta Burke that I just had to share with all of you...
Hi everyone! I thought it would be fun to participate in Wegohealth's National Health Blog Post Month. Since Turkey Day will be here soon, I thought it would be a fun challenge. If you'd like to participate too, click HERE.
