Achieving Health & Balance in Body, Mind & Spirit (or at least working on it!)
Today we have 83 days left on our challenge. I don’t know about all of you, but I am feeling a little pressure to get myself really into this! This week, I’m encouraging everyone to take a look at the different images they have of themselves. I don’t mean the ones we see in photographs, [...]
Today we have 90 days left on our challenge. Exactly three months to complete that goal. This week, I’m encourging everyone to get clear on their “whys.” We have two “whys” to look at. What are your reasons for the goal you stated? Why did you choose that goal and what do you hope that it will [...]
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! [...]
This article about the Samia Yusuf Omar, Somalia’s Olympic athlete who competed in the 200 meter dash made me tear up at her determination and courage. When we think of the Olympics, we often focus on who won the gold but sometimes the best lessons come from the human interest stories and the people who [...]
Sometimes when we feel we are working on something but it just isn’t happening, we need a reality check. Are we really working on it or have we fallen victim to excuses? One thing I hear all the time with weight loss clients is “I’m eating really healthy, I don’t know why I’m [...]
Ever notice that sometimes life throws you opportunities to live a dream but you don’t feel ready? I ran across this music video from Rivers Cuomo of Weezer (Beverly Hills, Pork & Beans). Just goes to show you a dream that you had as a child can come back to you in surpirsing [...]
A year ago Karen and I started this blog and it was about weight loss. It was a place to share our journey as we lost weight. Along the way, we’ve realized that weight loss– the way we want to do it-meant being balanced in all areas of our lives. So while we still [...]
I spend a lot of time wanting to be different. And I know this desire comes out of the genuine desire to be a better person. I certainly think this is an admirable goal. But I think its time I take my list of “wanting to be’s” out of the closet and really look at [...]
I found a cool site called podrunner.net with free workout music downloads. The music is electronic and techno. Honestly not my favorite music style but I downloaded a track and put it on my IPOD and listened to it at the gym while on the elliptical trainer. The track I had was 150 beat per minute [...]
First of all I’m giving myself a pat on the back because I managed that emotional trip to see my mom without gaining a pound. I was afraid to step on the scale when I got home but I did it and my restraint worked. I also got some cool feedback from the owner of [...]
