It doesn’t matter your starting point, whether you’re a total couch potato or an IronPerson… we all have something we can do, right?

I’m not talking about the alcoholic sort… (though those certainly add up, too!) I’m talking about the luscious, creamy, yummy…… “coffees” that we’ve grown to love. Come on… we know they’re “coffee drinks” and not coffee… even I, a true-blue black coffee drinker, occasionally get a hankerin’ for something made with caramel, hazelnut, and white [...]

At the risk of sounding like a weight-loss infomercial… This was me in 1989: Now, there were a bunch of ups and downs that got me here, but this was me, working with a client in early 2010: This was a story I documented in a guest post on Susan’s blog last year, but why [...]
