Eat Your Heart Out by Daphne Oz.
Daphne Oz loves food. In
fact, she's built her career around this love of exploring and enjoying the
world, bite after wonderful bite. But she knows first-hand how endless
indulging robs you of the truly memorable moments - and makes it hard to stay
healthy. On the other hand, restricting ourselves with too many rules means we
stop enjoying mealtime and start missing out. With four young children and a
busy career, Daphne is intimately familiar with how hard it can be to
find the right balance in our health and fitness goals, especially when living
a full life. In this engaging book, filled with useful tips and gorgeous
photography to inspire health and happiness every day, Daphne shares the
techniques she's used to get her mind, energy and body back on track
after each pregnancy--without ever losing the joy of cooking, the fun of mealtime,
and the stress-free pleasure of doing it intuitively. In the times when
she's looking to bring her body back into balance, Daphne lives by just four
simple rules that remove the guesswork from healthy eating and let us relax and
enjoy our meals again, knowing we're making great choices.
An Extravagant Life by Stuart Woods.
Over the last forty years,
Stuart Woods has written more than ninety novels of suspense and intrigue,
beginning with the award-winning Chiefs. Featuring iconic crime-fighting
and jet-setting leads, the plots are masterfully conceived and wonderfully
escapist. What many readers don't know is that Woods's very own life was
filled with similar stories of adventure. Born in Georgia, Woods worked in
advertising in New York, served in the US Air Force, and had a short stint as
an advance man. At the age of 37, he found himself in a transatlantic sailing
race, and pursued writing as a full-time career shortly thereafter. Along the
way, Woods has lived all over the world, from New York to London, Santa Fe to
Ireland. Incorporating his iconic sailing memoir Blue Water, Green
Skipper, this is the story of a life well-lived, and a special inside look
into the beloved author's many exploits.
