So obviously with all that’s happening with coronavirus we’re all having a lot of adjustments to our new (temporary) normal. Many are beginning to work from home, most to practice social distancing on some level, and that’s good and wise, but for most everyone it’s entirely new, and maybe even scary and depressing. For me [...]
Wellness Wednesday 2/12/20
Nutrition: this has generally been fine. No major events to report. I mostly stuck to my meal planning, other than one Chipotle run because I didn’t feel like making soup. And Thai curry tonight because I was too tired to do...anything. I really enjoy having a plan for my meals, because it relieves the stress [...]
Falling in Love With Earl Grey
I have a new man in my life. His name is Earl Grey, and I enjoy time with him almost every day now. Okay, obviously I’m talking about tea here but this discovery has truly been a big one for me and an excellent one to start off 2020, my year of boldness. Let’s (cassette [...]
Wellness Wednesday 2/05/20
Look at me, on time two weeks in a row! What a week it has been! I have been in the thick of this transition between the chaos of the holiday,s the heavy weight of sorting through how and where we would spend Christmas, and now, stepping into 2020 with Boldness and intention, and not [...]
It’s Okay for me to want to lose weight
That should be obvious, shouldn’t it? Not something that I have to tell myself over and over until I accept it as truth. But, here we are, with me waffling between this obvious truth and the fear that there is something morally “wrong” about it. Like, I am betraying some “should” about loving my body [...]
Freedom in Routine
Today, as I was working through some wellness goal setting, I found myself almost literally hungry for one specific thing: to be finished losing weight. Not in the sense of wanting a quick fix or to rush the process, or for instant gratification. If you know anything about my story, you know that thought is [...]
Wellness Wednesday 1/29/20
I’m tired of starting these posts remarking how it has been awhile. hopefully I won’t have to anymore, because things are different now, but... let’s just get to it, hmm? I have been working through a lot of deep thoughts about my wellness, my WHY (which I have written a lot about, over the years, [...]
Wellness Wednesday 10.16.19
I’m cheating a little, because the time period I’m covering in this post starts right after my session with E last Tuesday, so technically it should have been shared in the last post, but, I needed to save it for this one. E’s advice to focus on living right now, in this moment, and not [...]
Gifts from the Sea
In August, during our beach vacation, I did just a little beach combing, along the twenty yards or so nearest where my kids were playing, and, as occurs every time I’m in my heavenly happy place, I was struck by how many analogies to the walk of life are present in nature, and the ocean [...]
Where My Menaces At? (The importance of community to my fitness journey)
I belong to a Facebook group called Denis’s Menaces. It’s a Peloton “tribe” of folks who all are big fans of Denis Morton, the long haired, knife jawed, Spiritual Gangster cycling and Yoga instructor, who has the best taste in music i have ever experienced and a sense of humor that often has me in [...]
