I never did a wrap-up post for round one of my personal improvement plan (PIP), but it did go well. I felt better, looked better, and everything was going well. I wasn’t actually sure when I’d end it, but it happened rather unexpectedly (and I’m taking full responsibility for it!). One day, when a temptation …

When you live in Upstate NY, where it snows at the end of March…and where the sun has trouble making an appearance regularly…you have to learn to make your own sunshine.

Wait till you see what we invented! They’re called Bressert Chips! I thought this week on my semi-spring break that I would have time to relax toward the end of the week. What actually happened is that I’m left wondering how I would have gotten my work done if I was not on break from …
Because I’m all about the puns and cliches on St. Patty’s day, I thought I’d play on the green theme. First, I had to wear a green shirt today to work. It’s my wellness coaching morning, and I love this job. I pinch myself sometimes—I get to hang out with friends and talk about wellness …
I really wanted to link up to Jenn’s What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW) link party this week, so it helped me be motivated to try and bring a little variety into my (food) life. I met a friend on Monday at Breathe in Pittsford (the other Lisa B!) for a little browsing and a green …
Balance your sleep patterns and improve your body composition, health, and mood? Sign me up! Hormones—ahhhhhh. It’s a love/hate relationship we all have with our own. When we’re young, they are pretty hearty and intuitively do the most effective things (in most cases). Remember the days when you could eat, sleep, and drink in whatever …
I spent this afternoon with my grandparents, who are 87 (or 86, I can’t remember…whatever, they’re old!). My grandpa is amazing. He is a pro at researching things on the Internet (hopefully not my blog though), sending emails, opening attachments…he still drives, and mows and snow blows. And he goes out for coffee with his …
I’m on Spring Break! Well, the truth is, I teach for six colleges and only three of them have spring break…and they’re all at different times. I’m in spring break #1, which will be the best one, because it means I have a 95% work-at-home week (I still have 5 classes going on online, and …
