Daiya Cheese! YUM!

A recent change for me has been eating more vegan. I have been a vegetarian for about 21 years, meaning no meat or fish.

However, I even went to Chicago last week and had...

Amazon FBA Business Links of Learning and Growth

Working from home is not easy, but it is extremely rewarding.  I started selling on eBay in 1999 (sorry to the people who I told earlier that I've been selling for 20 years - bad math!), but I barely list at all there anymore.  For now, I focus my time on Amazon FBA.  I have done it for about 10 months, and it has been very profitable....

Quick Tip - Incline Treadmill Cardio

Walking on the treadmill at a high incline is a great form of cardio.  Earlier in the week, I went for 20 minutes at a 3.2 speed, 10.0 incline.  Felt great! During the workout, it is so tempting and easy to hold onto the top of the treadmill.  This isn't wrong to do, but you aren't maximizing your time on the equipment.  According...

Fitness Appointments - Getting it Done

I absolutely LOVE my job.  However, sometimes I may love it a little too much.  It may also be due to the fact that I want to keep my business and never slow down.  I remember the corporate America days, and I don't want to go back! In the past, this has caused me to skip my workouts and focus on my business.  I know this isn't...
