Making Excuses or Making Plans?

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012

I saw this cartoon posted on a friend's Facebook wall this week. It's funny because it's true: we claim to be too busy to take care of our health, but the alternative is being dead 24 hours a day. Sadly, I see too many examples of this: people who wait too long to address medical concerns. ...Read More...

How To Change Your Life

Monday, March 5th, 2012

I really have no idea what to blog about this morning. I have a few things running through my brain, with mostly a "eating right changes your life" theme. So let's go with that.

It matters because it's the fuel for your amazing body. The better the fuel, the better your body performs. That's why I work with my clients to change their eating habits so they're as healthy as possible. Exercise won't help much if you don't eat right.

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

There's a commercial for a popular breakfast bar, touting the message that one good decision can lead to another. We follow a woman throughout her day in split-screen as she makes healthy choices (because she ate that popular bar) and not-so-healthy choices (curse that pastry!) I thought of that commercial a couple of weekends ago when ...Read More...

What Are You Wearing?

Monday, October 17th, 2011

I read an interesting tidbit in an article about holiday shopping this weekend. According to Darren Dahl, a professor of applied marketing research, when people feel insecure, they tend to buy more. The author then suggested not wearing comfy sweatpants to shop in, but dress up a little bit to boost your confidence. This makes perfect ...Read More...

I’m Stressed! Pass The Cake!

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

Yesterday was a particularly stressful day for me, a perfect storm of many things not going as I thought they might. The ever-present, underlying current of "Will I get cancer again?" was joined by a full afternoon of cardiac testing (including the aptly-named 'stress test') to ferret out the cause of the palpitations I'm experiencing. ...Read More...
