I have been guilty of the calorie obsession. Calories in. Stalking my HR monitor on the calories burned. It is definitely an interesting “exercise”. And I’m happy to say I’m not in that mode now. I have a little-by-little, celebrate-the-small-victories kind of approach to fitness. Since I’m not obsessed with calories, I’ve been thinking a [...]
When did we forget to breathe? It seems to me that breathing should be a fairly natural, intuitive action. But somehow, for me, my body has become habituated to short and shallow pug-like breaths. It’s not complicated. Breathe in, breathe out, repeat. Simple, but not necessarily easy. I hold my breath. A lot. When I [...]
It’s been about 15 years since I swam laps, and I was never very good or went very far. So when I admitted wanting to swim during #fitchat (organized by Katy Widrick), I knew I needed to start with an easy swim workout. The confession during twitter was a big error commitment, and I was [...]
When I got a text from a gal pal asking me if I wanted to go out dancing Friday night, I was giddy with excitement! But of course I do! We’ll go out to eat, gossip, wear cute clothes and lipstick. I need more gal-pal time, so the universe has sent me a sign to [...]
I shuffled across this tune while walking to work, and BAM! I used to dance to this song, so I certainly listened to it many times. But I’ve never HEARD it like I did yesterday morning. I’ve listened to it over and over and have made Slow Down by India Arie my theme song for [...]
We spend a lot of time working – so why shouldn’t we create happiness in our workplace? Work does not have to be another four-letter word — we have a lot of control over our physical & mental space. Rather than waiting for “it” to happen, we can create the space where we smile and produce [...]
“Whatever we think about gets bigger….” It was about 20 years ago when I first heard this, and it has always stuck with me. Over time, I’ve mainly applied this to my thinking. For example, focusing on the solution gets makes the solution grow in our mind, and is more productive than focusing on the [...]
I’ve taken a while to write about this because it’s not sassy or snarky. It is painful. And it is the most significant chapter of my current life book. I’ve started and stopped this post many times, and each time, the tears flow. I’ve been a single mom for 14 years (my son is 17). [...]
