I just don't have time to live healthy, between work and school. Beyond preparing meals, what else can I do?
As for your work and school, join the club. I've had a few clients who are full-time single mothers going to night school and working multiple jobs.

Fitness expert Tom Venuto explains, "Over the 18 years that I've been involved in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, nutrition consultant and motivation coach, I've noticed that some people who start a nutrition and exercise program give up very easily after hitting the first obstacle they encounter. If they feel the slightest bit of discouragement or frustration, they will abandon even their biggest goals and dreams."
» Read more I'm ugly and fat - how can I possibly ever be happy with my body or me?
In my opinion, everything you need is going to happen on the inside. You've got a great place to start physically, but until you cut the negative self-talk and self-sabotage it will be difficult to shift into the healthy mindset that you deserve to have.
» Read more I can't seem to focus on exercise and nutrition at the same time - it's always one or the other. Help?
Focus on progress, not perfection. You take on one thing at a time, master it, and move on.
» Read more What if I can't afford the price of healthy living?

» Read more I don't know how to live healthy, where do I begin?
The very first step to living healthy is making the decision to live healthy and believe in yourself that you can reach your goal. Create a few, small goals you know are realistic and achievable and establish a reward for yourself once your goals are realized.
» Read more I can't eat vegetables (it's impossible) so what else can I do to live healthy?
I've had quite a few clients tell me they can't eat vegetables. I can relate, because I hated vegetables myself ... they made me sick.
» Read more I get criticized for my healthy eating habits - how do I explain them to my family?
Why should you have to explain anything to them? If they don't get it ... that's their problem! Take responsibility for you and realize YOU only have to be accountable to YOU.
» Read more What do I do when I'm invited for a family dinner but I know it's not going to be healthy food?
You have a few choices. You can have something before you, and simply manage your portion sizes. It's not always the type of food that is the problem with meals ... it is often the portion sizes. Control the size, add some extra cardio, and it's no issue.
» Read more How do I avoid peer pressure and eat healthy during the holidays?
I used to have that problem. It was related to all areas of my life — felt obligated to punch into a nine-to-five job for security, felt obligated to eat at social events, etc.
» Read more How do I find time to train if my life is so busy?
I am no stranger to a busy lifestyle. With children, two businesses to run and a goal to run an ultramarathon, I've had to juggle quite a schedule. I'm also human, so it doesn't always work out the way I would like it to.
