Fitness and Wellness talk

For the month of February, I've been busy, busy at Clark College lecturing for health classes.

I started the month with lectures for Health classes and concluded the month with motivational talks for Health and Physical Education classes. Seriously!This has got to be the coolest "job" ever! I love sharing my story in hopes to motivate and inspire others. My story is more than about weight loss it's applicable to life -- believing in yourself, hard work, making adjustments, and never giving up.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of delivering back-to-back lectures for HPE 258: Fitness and Wellness. Super-duper cool! Here's a look-see at the photos:

Clark College: Outside of the Box

Several months ago, Veronica Brock, health instructor from Clark College contacted me asking about ways to incorporate recipes ideas into the curriculum. Our little phone conversation has led to me authoring my second cookbook. 

I am proud and honored to announce Shop, Cook, Eat: Outside of the Box was written for the Health and Physical Education department of Clark College. Beginning Fall quarter 2012, Shop, Cook, Eat: Outside of the Box will be a REQUIRED textbook for ALL students enrolled in Health 100: "Food and Your Health".  The books will hit the shelves Monday, August 27th at the Clark College Bookstore.
