What are you thinking? And how’s it making you feel?
I had a good workout in Group Power today. Of my mind. My muscles, not so much unfortunately. My regular teacher was unexpectedly replaced By a woman who ran the class in slow motion. I spent the first ten minutes scowling at her while she ambled in three minutes late, ever so slowly set up […]
What are you missing out on because you think you can’t do it?
Beach volleyball tonight But I am the worst sportswoman alive. Need proof? High school phys ed. class: the 2 team captains are my 2 best friends. I’m still picked last. Every week. Of every year. I haven’t touched a ball since. But tonight my husband wants me to join him and some friends at a […]
But where’s the struggle?
My client emailed to tell me that my blog doesn’t reflect enough of the struggle. And here’s why. There doesn’t need to be any struggle. Unless you believe there does. If you want weight loss with struggle, you’re at the wrong place. There are tons of crazy diet places that will satisfy that requirement. I’m […]
How do you spend your family time?
Fabulous quality family time for me this week: Monday: cardio class with my gorgeous thirteen year old daughter. She was proud of how hard I worked. I do. Every time. I’m forty six and I jumped higher and ran further than her. (of course, she doesn’t have to try to be perfect – she’s my […]
What are you teaching your children?
This morning I was planning how many donuts to buy for our first Chanukah celebration tonight. My daughter said “Uncle David eats lots of halves, so buy lots for him”. I laughed. I was remembering the many Saturday afternoon tea parties at my house. A huge gaggle of female relatives, sitting around the table for […]
“Can you nudge against the sound?”
My inspiring NIA teacher asked this during our class this morning. What a great question. She was referring to the sound of the mesmerizing band that plays during our class. What a great question, I thought, thinking of my thoughts. Can you nudge against the sound of your own thoughts? Can you get a little […]
What’s for dinner?
Tonight, dinner was tea and cookies. yum. honest. Usually dinner is veggies – lots of them, roasted, sautéed, souped, raw, any way. I looooove veggies. Never met a veggie I didn’t love (okra’s not really a veg right?) Tonight, I really felt like cookies and tea. In my old life, I would have felt like […]
Let’s meet for coffee… without the coffee… or the muffin?
I met my Dad for coffee this morning. We had the best time – chatting, catching up, connecting. He had a latte and homemade pumpkin muffins I brought for him. I had – nothing. An hour before we met I was hungry, and I always eat when I’m hungry. I never make my body wait […]
Do you want to be that kind of person?
“I’m not a morning person” “I’m just not the active type” These were two beliefs that I created in my teens, and lived much of my adult life around. BUT, if these thoughts are true, then what on earth am I doing booking an 8 a.m. (yes that’s short for morning) bike tour of New […]
How much emotional baggage do you carry around in your bag?
Along my journey to end my weight loss struggle, I often found myself overburdened with keeping my options open for “just in case”. Do you find that? Are you stressed about “what if” questions – like “what if I’m hungry and there is nothing healthy to eat?” or perhaps it is in other areas of […]
