If The Tennis Shoe Fits…

March 9, 2010

I went shopping this weekend for some new workout threads and was reminded how invigorating it can be tossing out the old and bringing in something brand spanky new.  Even exchanging my dingey socks with a fresh pair of crispy white ones can put a skip in my step and help me stay the path to a healthy [...]

When ‘Working Out’ Becomes Work

March 2, 2010

I wish that getting and staying fit was as simple as a walk in the park or as inspirational as frolicking through a field of wildflowers.
The truth is, shouldn’t it be?
I return to this topic time and again because months, even years go by, when I’m really feeling great about excercise.  
Then, out of the blue  (*poof*)  the love is gone.
Usually when this [...]

The Cat Nap: A Wake-Up Call For Busy Women

February 23, 2010

I often think we should look to nature and particularly the animal kingdom for clues to healthy living. Not in a lion-chasing-down-a-gazelle-Wild Kingdom sort of way, but in an eat-sleep-play-because-it-makes-you-feel-good sort of way.
In the past we’ve talked about how even the wildest animals create opportunities to experience intrinsic joy through play.  We’ve also explored how in nature, [...]

Rockin’ the 2010 Winter Olympics!

February 16, 2010

Aspiration, dedication and perspiration, what more can you ask for?
When I think Olympics, I think winter Olympics. I grew up watching The Wide World of Sports every Sunday with my dad. We’d collectively cringe when it came time to watch the infamous Vindo Bagataj tumble. Oh the agony and the defeat! But that one terrible [...]

A Survivor’s Guide to Valentines Day

February 9, 2010

Yes, that special day for lovers is upon us. When Hallmark, Whitman and FTD stocks soar.  The day where we all panic at the drugstore on our way home from work and take a moment from our busy, stress-filled lives to show that someone special we care — extra care — about them.
With all its good [...]

Back to Basics

January 26, 2010

Well, for some reason which I’m not too sure, I’ve gone and buggered up my back again. So much so, that I’m finding it a bit challenging to sit at my desk and write this post. (pity not required). The two things I am very inconsistent about (stretching and ab work), have taken shape in [...]

The Sounds Of Silence and Music

January 19, 2010

I’ve said many times over the years (wow, we’ve been blogging for years!), that I’m a self-confessed music junkie. And although it’s good once and a while to walk mindfully and silently through a sunlit forest on a cool summer morning, most of the time I like tunes blasting in my ears. 
 Music really helps me [...]

Where’s The Boot Camp For Your Head?

January 12, 2010

I lived in California for 25 years. Most of it in the Bay area, but I did spend five years working in West Hollywood.  Lots of folks poo-poo Hollyweird, but I’m a little weird myself, so I actually enjoyed living there.  I know five years isn’t a lifetime, but I think it qualifies me to [...]

Diabetes Linked With Smoking…And Quitting

January 5, 2010

What? Ugh. In a nutshell, there was a recent study conducted which indicated that folks who quit smoking gain weight. And people who gain weight are more susceptible to type 2 diabetes. But these type of headlines just irk me to no end.

“Weight Gain from Quitting Smoking Linked to Diabetes”

 “Former smokers have a greater [...]
