Over Christmas dinner, my extended family were talking about this commercial or that one and I looked at my husband and realized… hmmm. Haven’t seen ANY of those! I’m somewhat thrilled that the times now that I watch TV, it’s usually recorded or on a streaming service. I rarely see commercials. But I can guarantee […]
As a Weight Watcher Leader, I’m constantly suggesting (….ok, nudging….ok, pushing…OK, kicking their butts….) my members get out of their comfort zone. We say magic happens outside of your comfort zone. But what does that mean? We say we’re “Beyond the Scale” but does everyone “get” that? I remember little elf Judy in the movie, […]
On any given day in social media, you will find articles and pictures telling us to be happy with our bodies. Accept and love them. That the way towards shedding the weight is to be happy WITH the body you have. Be comfortable in your skin. Don’t make excuses in it – revel in it. […]
Ten years ago this month, numerous events took place: test results from a physical showing my cholesterol to be extremely high, a printed picture of a night I thought I looked great but didn’t – at all, and sitting watching TV with an open and empty bag of chips and no memory of eating those […]
Sometimes I’m up for a challenge. Sometimes I am the challenge. I could take this a lot of ways. Today after lunch it was simply tripping over NOTHING (or, as I say, that big invisible rock) in the middle of the hallway. Flat ground seems to be a problem. But in reality, this is what […]
Five years ago I ran my first and only ½ marathon. I wrote this race report (below), which reminded me of the high I felt that day. And although I still don’t love or even like to run, it’s nice to be reminded that I can do hard things. In fact, it’s more than nice […]
When my kids were little and they were snuggling up against me, they’d squeeze my arms and say, “Mommy, your arms are soooooo squishy.” Now, I don’t know about you, but squishy arms isn’t what women really want to have – or hear that they have. But in those moments, from my children, it was […]
This world has evil in it. I’m not naïve and think everyone can just be “all about the love.” (Although why not?) And although I firmly believe that we all have power to affect change, that’s not the purpose of this blog post. It’s what we DO with what’s around us that help define our […]
If you look up “coach” in the dictionary you’ll see numerous definitions. But under the “Train or instruct (a team or player)” definition three bullets appear: • give (someone) extra or private teaching, • teach (a subject or sport) as a coach, and • prompt or urge (someone) with instructions. If you think back to […]
I was reading some of my previous blog posts and realized that I repeat myself a lot. Then I thought about things. Weight loss. Life balance. Behaviors. And of course I repeat myself. There’s only so much *new* on the subject. I had a conversation today with a person that I hadn’t seen in a […]
