I’m the podcast ninja
Like a ninja, stealthily moving in the shadows, I’ve been sneaking into the KIRO radio studios in Seattle each week to record a new podcast.
(I’m kidding; they invited me.)
My new podcast channel is now up and running both on MyNorthwest.com and by subscription on iTunes. There are currently three podcasts available – on subjects from willpower to moderation – so listen in and let me know what you think!
In the meantime, catch a chuckle and read some of the very personal questions people ask me when they find out I’ve lost weight. Slightly embarrassing, but absolutely hilarious!
Have a happy, healthy week!

Well, you don’t do what I did. Oh, I did fine with baby foods; I did it just like the parenting books said and introduced them one at a time… Read more…
Marilyn’s spring makeup must-haves
“Marilyn, what’s in YOUR makeup bag?!?” A new blush for spring is just the tip of the makeup bag iceberg. I love makeup as much as the next girl (maybe more, based on the look of my makeup drawer). Read more…
Spring cleaning the kitchen for weight loss
I’m generally a pretty neat and tidy person, but stuff creeps into my house sometimes, cluttering things up. Sometimes that “stuff” is food that has no place in my healthy household. Read more…
Recipe: Skinny Chicken Salad
I have impulse control problems, so waiting until summer for a delicious chicken salad is just not happening! This lightened up version of chicken salad is delicious on a bed of greens, between two slices of bread or try a big scoop on top of a baked sweet potato like I did! Read more…
