Achieving Health & Balance in Body, Mind & Spirit (or at least working on it!)
Does anyone else feel wrung out from this heat? I’m having a hard time getting moving on exercise and been fighting the ice cream urge all week. Even with air conditioning I find I’m waking up feeling like I didn’t sleep well. I have to admit I like the 70 degree temperate California. I’m not [...]
I just saw this on Dr. Andew Weil’s Website:
“Eating low on the glycemic index can help you lose weight, improve your insulin sensitivity and may also be good for your skin. Researchers at Australia’s University of Melbourne put 43 men with acne on either a low glycemic load diet or a standard diet for 12 [...]
I thought I’d write a bit about my experience with Cheryl Broughton’s Fitness Edge Boot Camp in Santa Clarita, CA. After hearing Carol’s experience with the boot camp she tried, I thought, “Wow, I probably woulkd have felt out of place there too!” and then I thought, “Thank goodness I tried Fitness Edge first. ”
This boot [...]
If you have gotten our newsletter this month, you know that it is all about making a difference - in yourself, in others’ lives, in the community. We also made that our theme at Fitness Edge Boot Camp for this eight week session. Reading Carol’s last post also got me thinking about the many ways [...]
I’ve had a lot of conversations with people about weight loss since I started this blog. One thing is for sure, there is no one size fits all solution that works for everyone.
Karen and I are different. She loves her boot camp. I tried one and felt like the geek at gym class. It was [...]
Karen and I were talking yesterday about this blog and how we want to talk about all things living well and stressing less. We are continuing on our weight loss adventure and will report on it and want to share ideas about food and exercise and the joys and frustrations of the journey but that has [...]
It’s Monday again and I don’t know whether to groan or say Yipee! This week is going to be a challenging one for me. I’m booked every evening this week with something. My daytime schedule is full too. I’m challenging myself to take 5-10 minute breaks to do some exercise several times a day since [...]
The scale hasn’t budged this week. But I did have some positive reinforcement today. I put on a skirt this morning to go to the office to see clients and the waist was huge! This put a grin on my face. This is a wrap skirt that I had to move the buttons over to [...]
I have made it five days without sugar and caffeine. This is a major accomplishment for me. I had a headache that lasted through three and a half of the past five days, and I still went to boot camp three times (twice in one day to teach and work out am and pm!). I [...]
Two steps forward, two steps back! Feeling stuck today. The scale hasn’t moved not because I’ve hit a plateau but because I’ve been inconsistent on food, exercise and sleep.
Sleep has a big impact on whether I feel capable of tackling the rest of my life. I often don’t get the rest I need and then [...]
