I am becoming an expert on fat burning.  This is surprising because most of my life I was teased for being "skinny".  I used to double my pants, stuff my bra, and take "Weight On" pills to try to gain weight.  I remember my Mother telling me "Lynnis just wait until you get older you will appreciate the whole 'skinny' thing".  Well, Mommy, you were right!!

I literally woke up one morning and I was 20 lbs heavier - at least that is what it felt like.  I had just turned 48 and  I got on the scale and could not believe what I saw.  Where did the extra pounds come from?  At first, I enjoyed the new curves I had but when another 10 lbs came a year later I realized that I was now engaged in the battle of burning the fat.

Now I understand there are a plethora of reasons as to why we gain weight once in mid-life.  The good news is there are so many things we can do to combat this onslaught of fat after 40.  It takes a combination of nutrition, working out…

One thing that is a guarantee in life, we will experience heartache, heartbreak, loss, and tragedy.  Unfortunately, these events in life can’t be avoided.  When these life events bombard our lives many times we don’t think we can make it.  Many of us may say “If one more thing happens….” I know I have said that before. This is one of the statements that went through Reverend Tammie Denyse’s mind.  She had been through the tragedy of losing her Sister, her Father, being diagnosed with Cancer and the biggest heartbreak of all, losing her Son.  The unspeakable pain and loss that she felt were almost unbearable.  But through all of the loss, Tammie Denyse knew that her ultimate survival would be her first line of defense: HOPE.
Tammie Denyse shares in her book “The Power of Hope – Reclaiming Your Life After Tragedy” how her journey through hopelessness, disconnection, disillusionment, abandonment, and hurt led her to ultimate healing and grace. Listening to Tammie Denyse gives one a sens…

Kathleen Kanavos and Dr. Larry Burk sh…

It seems that I literally woke up one morning and my nice flat stomach had this...bulge.  A bit of extra skin that was spongy and not flattering.  Where the heck did this come from, I thought. I exercise every day, I eat healthily, I do my core exercises...why is this happening.

There are many reasons why we might get belly fat.  Some of the obvious reasons for overeating, not working out, not drinking enough of the right liquids and stress.  While that belly fat seems to get more comfortable in staying with us as we age.  There are things you can do to "beat the battle of  the belly fat:"

I decided to take a mind, body and spirit approach to beating my "fat belly".  Why?  Because belly fat increases when we are stressed, it also increases when we don't exercise, and when we aren't feeling our bodies properly.

Here are some holistic suggestions to fight what we used to call the "mid-drift bulge"
