MY LATEST VIDEOS

Friends and family frequently reach out to me this time of year asking for practical tips and advice for living a healthier lifestyle which is why I’m thrilled to be working with Kroger this month to talk about my every day #LittleVictories that help me reach my goals. For example, any day that I successfully track my calories and get in a good sweat is a good day in my book. The trick is taking it one day at a time.

  54. My little victory for today was that I donated to the local food pantry again after a long hiatus. I used coupons, specials, and prayer to get the most for my money. I also remembered to check the web site to see what they were most in need of before shopping. Happy knowing I can help people in my own community in a way which lets them preserve their dignity.
