Achieving Health & Balance in Body, Mind & Spirit (or at least working on it!)
Hi There! I have missed you all. My apologies for going MIA for the past week or so. To be completely honest, I have started to write an entry about 6 times this week, and then found some other thing that needed to be done right then. I have stayed stalled in the same spot [...]
I am in the process of preparing for two presentations one on Friday and one on Monday. I love doing presentations. It gives me the opportunity to meet new people and share information that I have learned with others. It allows that part of me that likes attention to take center stage.
What I don’t love [...]
A little frustrated because I am still fighting a combination of cold and allergies that has my energy level low! Just trying to do the best I can with the energy level I have. I know that if I push too much it will take even longer to feel 100%. But I keep telling myself that [...]
I love how I keep running across articles that tell me to cut back on sugar! This one on Yahoo is about how stress effects your skin because cortisol raises your blood sugar level. For those of us who reach for sugar when we are under stress we are really adding even more of a [...]
Over the last few days, I’ve come to the realization that I needed to work out longer and harder. I asked Karen to give me an MP3 that would address using my workout time more efficiently and pushing myself in my workouts. Then on Tuesday I had the realization that in general I need to [...]
Tuesday night I started getting that hot throat, nose and eyes that meant a cold was on its way. Am I surprised? No. My schedule over the last week was pretty crazy and I succumbed to some sugary treats. They say sugar supresses your immune system. I think of [...]
My friend Jody and I had a talk a couple days ago about our struggles. Afterward, she wrote some great comments on this blog (see especially “The Land of Big Food”), and she sent me a link to an article on Dr. Andrew Weil’s site. The link to the article is at the bottom of this post, so you can [...]
Yesterday I walked for over 2 hours. I had to take my car in for service so I took the free shuttle back to the house in the morning but walked to the Gold Line to pick it up when it was done (about 50 minutes of walking). I took Sadie for a walk (30 minutes) [...]
The other week, I was at Trader Joe’s and I decided to buy myself a bunch of flowers. The bunch I picked out was an assortment of yellow and orange flowers that went really nicely with my new yellow dining room. The bunch was only $4.99 and it made me smile everytime I walked through the [...]
Some times you see or hear something that inspires you to keep going. This morning in my mailbox I got a link to a music video I want to share with you.
It’s a video of the song, “Believe” by Suzie McNeil. Suzie was one of the contestants on Rock Star–INXS in the [...]
