Achieving Health & Balance in Body, Mind & Spirit (or at least working on it!)
For the last few days I’m been doing a process which has really helped me gain clarity both about my life and how I can help clients. More about the actual process in another post but for now one of the insights I gained.
When you are in a “helping” profession like mine sometimes it is easy [...]
I am catching up today after last week. We had our Goddess Charity and Fun night on the 24th at the spa, and it was the best one yet. Thanks to all who attended! Really fun, lots of new people, and we raised over $1000 for Circle of Hope, Inc. a charity that helps people [...]
There are days you feel stuck, like you haven’t made any progress toward your goal. I feel this way today because I’m having a hard time exercising at anything beyond a stroll due to allergy problems compounded by a cold. I also haven’t been as strict with my eating program as I was at the start [...]
If you are loking for a sweetener that is natural but won’t spike your blood sugar–check out agave nectar. It is a syrup like honey from the agave plant and is really yummy! I was looking for an alternative sweetener that wasn’t full of chemicals and my friend Z told me about agave nectar. I [...]
Sorry to leave you all on such a sour note as my last post and then not come back for days. I seriously overscheduled myself and I’m noticing how hard it is to eat well when you are overbooked, underslept (is that a word) and rushing from one thing to the next. Horrors–I went through [...]
This has been a challenging spring for me. I’m recovering from my third cold or flu. I’m finding it rather funny that I have been eating better than I have in years but my immune system seems less able to fight off the various bugs that I’m coming in contact with. I’ve [...]
Lately, I have abandoned my friend Carol here on the web island of Live Well Stress Less. (Sounds like just the place we all want to be!). In any case, it’s no fun to be left alone, and it hasnt been fun to realize my time has gotten so crunched that I have let go the [...]
Yesterday I went to the doctor to talk about my recent blood tests. I reported a few weeks ago that I was very happy that I had gotten my triglycerides and blood sugar down but my cholesterol was still high. My doctor wanted to consult with me about my blood work. I had only been on [...]
There are days when I feel like I’ve gotten in the groove of healthy eating and other days when I feel like I’ll never have it down. I know you can only make changes one day at a time and I fully admit some days are a heck of a lot easier than others.
I’m really [...]
Last night I met the gals from the Where’s My Damn Answer blog (wheresmydamnanswer.com) for drinks in Newhall. We met at the Loose Goose Wine Cellar had a lovely bottle of Syrah to taste. (Wine is not on my eating program!) But with 5 women and one bottle of wine, I thought okay I can’t [...]
