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 [...]
I have a long, sordid history battle with not drinking water. I didn’t know it was a battle or even a problem until my fainting at the gym landed me in the hospital. Diagnosis? Chronic dehydration. It shouldn’t be so shocking actually. I never drank water. And when I say never, I mean almost an [...]
I’ve been on a really great health roll lately. I loved my second swim lesson this week, I’m still basking in the glow of my first beginning mountain bike rides in Tahoe, I took a yoga class with the BF+ (I didn’t even giggle when the teacher said I had perfect alignment – don’t worry [...]

For example, focusing on the solution gets makes the solution grow in our mind, and is more productive than focusing on the [...]
I’ve avoided writing about this because it’s embarrassing. After all, I’m an educated person and “know” the good stuff I’m supposed to be doing for myself: drink water, eat my veggies, get rest, blah blah blah… This is NOT rocket science, for crying out loud.
