On Black Friday (actually this began Thursday evening), I headed out with Joe’s sister and mother to Wal-Mart at 10pm. There was a laptop to be bought, and many good deals to be scarfed up! I didn’t have a list—was just going along for the fun of it (even though last time I went midnight …

I’m thankful for a lot of things… Right now, I’m dwelling on this: We’ve graduated from all the “Hi” texts to full phrases. And if I don’t answer right away, I’m likely to have 3 or 4 voicemails waiting for me… 🙂 Who was the last person you sent a love note {text} to?
Good afternoon 🙂 I’m teaching 8 classes and I’ve been a big slacker in researching things for friends/clients (but I’ll admit, I’ve been researching the things that interest me the most…). Often, when I am trying to help someone improve their health, we have to find substitutions for “old” habits—without that, we’re bound to try …

Happy Saturday! I’m going to spend the remainder of the weekend in yoga teacher training (I wish there was wi-fi there—then I could be like my nutrition students and pretend I’m listening, but really be chatting and playing on the Internet…just kidding, I wouldn’t do that!). I want to tell you a few random things …
I’ve been thinking about the topic of this post for a few days, and mulling over how to approach it—how much do I want to reveal about my personal life, and how do I present this so that you will be interested? I’ll give you the backstory. If you’ve been reading for at least 2 …

A couple weeks ago, my facebook page reached 600 “Likes” and I thought it would be a good time to do a giveaway. I’m not a big fan of doing sponsored giveaways (except in those cases where I’m in love with the products—like the times I gave away NuNaturals Stevia, SoCal Avocados and SunButter). Mostly, …
Yesterday, Kathleen posted about fast food, and speculated that we are mistaken when we vilify it without also condemning many of the other crappy quality foods we have in our lives. It made me start thinking about healthy eating and food rules, and how we set our limits about what we will or will not …
Thank you for all the super thoughtful things you all said to me over the last few days… It helped. A lot. Joe was gone to DC for the weekend to run the Marine Corps Marathon, so I was flying solo, and it turned out to be a really great weekend (except one crappy part, …
Today, I’d first like to wish my little nephew-man a Happy 8th Birthday. I’ve been an Aunt for exactly 8 years, and I think I’ve done a pretty good job! In my family, Matthew’s birthday brings both celebration and sadness (I think we do a pretty good job of hiding the latter from Matthew). This …

Thanks for all of your great comments on my post about trying out Intermittent Fasting! I appreciate your perspectives, and I completely agree that IF is not for everyone…in fact, I’m not actually recommending it to anyone yet. I’m just testing it out on myself! Alison (who is my bloggie-neighbor) wrote a post about her …
