In the Weight Loss Trenches

May 7th, 2008 | By Cheryl H | Category: Cheryl's Journey, Safe Healthy Weight Loss Tips

How are you doing on your new journey into a new life? You know that weight loss, if it is to be life long, must be more than a diet. It isn’t a temporary thing. Diets, on the whole, are bound to end in failure. Diets are generally something one cannot [...]



BUSTED! “Safe” Quick Weight Loss Diet

Apr 29th, 2008 | By Cheryl H | Category: Safe Healthy Weight Loss Tips

This dangerous myth is actually more of a stumbling block and the main reason why we go on disposable diets. You know, those diets blaring at you in red on woman’s magazine.

BUSTED! Disposable Diets

Apr 28th, 2008 | By Cheryl H | Category: Diet Reviews

If you have looked at my site for long, you know how I feel about those diets that “sell” magazines. You know, the ones that say lose 10 pounds in 14 days! These diets are disposable in that they rarely are doable past the 14 days prescribed.
Who could stand to eat carrots and tuna with [...]



Making Exercise a Habit

Apr 26th, 2008 | By Cheryl H | Category: Cheryl's Journey, Healthy Exercise To Burn Fat

I am by nature a lazy person. I avoid exercise like it was the plague. I am not afraid of work. I can work circles around my family members. But when it comes to exercise, I just drag my feet.

BUSTED! Never Try to Lose Weight During Pregnancy

Apr 25th, 2008 | By Cheryl H | Category: Safe Healthy Weight Loss Tips

Weight loss at any time in your life is never unsafe - IF it is approached with healthy foundations and not in response to your emotions. “I’m FAT. I have to lose weight NOW!”, is emotional.

Diet Myths Busted!!!

Apr 25th, 2008 | By Cheryl H | Category: Diet Reviews

I am a diet myth buster! I love to read anything about weight loss, healthy eating and fitness for “normal” folks.  As such I get to read everything from the sensible to the complete and utter nonsense!

Just Keep Moving!!

Apr 18th, 2008 | By Cheryl H | Category: Cheryl's Journey, Vital Health Tips

I am going to preach today!  So brace your selves.
When not caring for my children and husband, writing and researching about health and weight loss,  taking on my own weight management program I get to care for my husband’s parents.  This is a mixed blessing.
I say mixed because I love them dearly and want to [...]

How Metabolism Works

Apr 11th, 2008 | By Cheryl H | Category: Safe Healthy Weight Loss Tips
