Fast foods and takeout appeal to many professional women. They’re affordable, filled with tasty flavors, and fit in today’s fast-paced world where many of us hardly have enough time to cook our own meals.

But those tacos, fries, pizzas, donuts and soft drinks come with a hidden price – your health. Fast foods are often loaded with too much sodium, extra sugar, saturated fat and harmful chemical preservatives.

When you factor in the cost of managing heart disease, diabetes and obesity, those meals don’t seem to be much of a bargain, do they?

It’s been a whirlwind month! I kicked off the month with a trip to Seattle to speak to the Amazon Ladies’ Leadership (ALL) group on Wellness in the Workplace (more on that later!).

And I’m wrapping up the month with yet another move. This is number 6 for Blake and I in the nearly 10 years that we’ve been together. By now, we’re moving pros, but it’s still stressful. And, one of my major work projects is moving three cardiology practices into one new building. Needless to say, I’m a busy woman these days!
