We’re just 4 days away from an all new class here at Marilu.com.  

HOT AND STEAMY

This is about the ultimate comfort food but with a whole new twist.  Coaches Healthful and MplsMom (sometimes referred to as “The Jills”) have been working for weeks to bring you incredible soup recipes and one pot dishes that are full of nutrition and flavor. 

This isn’t like a five year old article in the waiting room:  “10 Uses for Leftover Pot Roast”  <gag>

This is hot steamy food that suits your lifestyle, nourishes your body and keeps your energy levels up right through winter.  

This class will have more than just recipes.  Join the fun, try some new ingredients, bring questions and share your own favorite tips and recipes. 

If you have questions about membership please contact us as soon as possible to gain access to class.  This one is a perfect winter pick me up.

This comes just in time for the more extreme temperatures some of you are facing.  Beginning February 6th we’re launching another brand new class here at marilu.com.   We’re going to get hot and steamy in the kitchen.

Comfort doesn’t have to mean “cushion”.    One pot meals and soup recipes will fill the need for hearty fare and they’re also a great way to include lots of vegetables and wet foods in your diet. 

Think; Whole Foods for Total Health !

If you’re considering membership this would be a great time to check out the members area.  Please post any questions you may have about this, or any of our classes.

“IF YOU HAVE MADE MISTAKES THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER CHANCE FOR YOU.  YOU MAY HAVE A FRESH START ANY MOMENT YOU CHOOSE.”

GIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF HEALTH IN 2012

There are a lot of gifts changing hands these days.  While you’re giving good things to others this holiday season don’t leave yourself off the list.  Be good to yourself with mindful eating, time to “de-stress” with a good workout or with a half hour time out, healthy foods on your plate and plenty of water to stay hydrated. 

Another quick tip: mark your calendar for January 2nd and join us for our first class of 2012 when we get BACK TO BASICS….BECAUSE IT WORKS !

Classes are always included in your membership.  If you’re already a member you are automatically enrolled.  If you’re not yet a member what are you waiting for?

Today is the last day of our Hot for the Holidays class.  Many thanks to Jan for all of the hard work that she puts into this class.   Not only does she coach this class but she also coaches our yearly Viva la Vegan class with her daughter Kyra each summer in the member’s area. as And those are in addition to the What’s Cooking forum, which she guides all year.

We all have it.  An area where we sabotage ourselves.  Maybe it’s procrastination. Maybe it’s eating the crusts from your kids sandwiches and their leftover cookies.  (Not wanting to “waste” could be showing up on your waist.) Maybe you use the holidays as an excuse for excess and your budget is straining under the load. 

Today we’re going to be our own best friends and be brutally honest with ourselves!

This is Day 4 of our on-line class and we welcome your perspective on this.  Add your voice to the discussion.  We learn from one another !!

Holiday Travel!   There’s so much about this that’s out of your control.  There’s nothing you can do about airport delays, gas prices, or traffic jams.  But there are areas where you ARE in control !

Even in you aren’t traveling over the holidays, today’s post on the message boards is full of information that will help you move through the holidays looking and feeling your BEST !  And the travel information is going to come in handy at some point so don’t miss this incredible tutorial.  Make it easy on yourself….learn all you can!

Join Coach Jan on the message boards today for some end of the year planning advice.  These next few weeks can be a pleasure or they can run you ragged. 

 Jan has some great tips for you to stay calm.  She’ll tell you how to “make a new plan Stan” and finish out 2011 feeling SENSATIONAL !
