Achieving Health & Balance in Body, Mind & Spirit (or at least working on it!)
Today is Day 4 of the 100 Day Challenge. How are we all doing?
I am excited about the people who have signed up and committed to their goals. I’m also excited by the people who are reading but having yet posted their commitment. Live Well, Stress Less newsletter readers I know you are out there! [...]
It is getting harder and harder to know what is healthy and what isn’t. A few weeks ago there was a study about farm raised Tilapia saying it was as bad for you as a burger. In general, farm raised fish isn’t good for you but many wild fish have mercury problems. But we are [...]
I have to admit, the hardest thing that has been recommended to me on my healthy eating plan is to give up coffee. I love my morning coffee and green tea or other beverages just don’t satisfy me the way coffee does. I love the whole morning coffee experience–grinding the beans, listening to the pot [...]
Remember back in December, we encouraged you to take an assessment of the things you wanted to improve for your health. If you missed the assessment or want to take it again here is the link: Healthy Lifestyle Assessment.
2008 is past the half-way mark. How are you doing? Are there [...]
This intentional eating experiment is interesting. I realize how many days I eat without thinking about the food I’m ingesting much less setting the intention that I am eating to nourish my body and spirit. Yesterday for example I did well at breakfast. I made a beautiful egg white scramble with veggies and had some [...]
I am back to report in and write a bit about my journey of late. I have continued on the Transitions program, and at the last check in had lost about 14 pounds. I have learned some good things in the process, too - things that echo totally what Carol wrote about what makes [...]
For many who work normal 9a-5pm jobs, Mondays are days they groan about having to go back to work. The weekend is over and the serious stuff begins again. For me, since I work Saturdays seeing clients, I try to make Mondays a day off. Sometimes I don’t succeed and I’ll schedule a speech or [...]
I’m at a place with my food program and working with the nutritionist where I really need to decide how committed I am to signing up for more sessions. The last few weeks, I have been up and down with following the program which means I have been paying for assistance and not following [...]
I’ve had a couple things riding on my “to do” list for a while and once of those was to schedule a dentist appointment. A while ago I had to cancel a dentist appointment last minute and I never called back to reschedule. It has been on my health and fitness “to do” list ever [...]
I just got off the phone from teaching an early morning teleconference for the University of Texas –teaching nurses and other healthcare providers about Five Minute Stress Management Strategies. Those of you who know me, know I love to speak! Speaking on a teleconference mode is interesting because all the cues about whether the audience [...]
