I’m running around like crazy this week…not to say that some of it isn’t for fun! A new client of mine and I were exploring ideas for better afternoon snacks—ones that don’t mess so much with blood sugar (like chocolate covered pretzels). I came up with these (and named them J Balls, after my client): …

I’ve spent the last year or so reframing and redefining my definition of being Productive. It used to involve quantitative measurement of outcomes. But now? My goal is to work less (and make that smaller amount of work fun), and along with working less, I want to breathe more deeply more often and do things …

Stefanie from The New Healthy is hosting a Sweat it Out Saturday link party… And since I sweated it out a lot yesterday, I thought I’d share. I’m in the middle of my Traditional Fitness plan, which means I’m lowering the intensity for most of my exercise, and increasing the times and quantity of activities …
Since Matthew got his cell phone last Friday, I have been the lucky recipient of hundreds of text messages that say… Hi I usually text him back, and ask questions (and secretly think I am helping him read better). He called me several times for a few days, and then I didn’t hear from him …

Happy Holiday Weekend! Do you have to labor on Labor Day? For an online teacher, holidays are usually irrelevant (some schools give a week off at Christmas). But since I’m teaching f2f (face to face) on Monday nights, I actually get “a day off” from that! I’m planning to use the time to work on …
Happy Wine Friday! Tweet #winefriday to me if you’re indulging today 🙂 I haven’t bought it yet, by my Wine Friday wine of choice this evening is going to be Heron Hill Chardonnay. I’d post a pic, but I don’t have it yet, and I still can’t find the battery charger for my camera. (I …
If you’ve been stopping by for a while, and especially if you know me for-real-in-person, you know I’ve been exploring a more traditional way of eating lately. I want to divulge the details, and I promise I will, but I need to focus on fitness for the moment. My goal for the first two weeks …
I visited my grandparents this weekend (to fix a computer issue and beg them to let me store some containers in their spotless-eat-off-the-floor basement). Gosh, their life is so simple now at 87—but they’re happy. We cheered on grandma as she got out of her chair 10 times to try and kill flies on the …
Last night, Katelyn and I went to Lori’s Natural Foods in Henrietta to listen to the amazingly awesome Brendan Brazier talk about Stress and Food. We sat in the front row, and I could have totally reached out and touched Brendan’s feet. Not that I would have. I first read Brendan’s first book a few …
Apparently, I’ve needed a break from blogging. I had the opportunity last week to attend an online teaching summit, and it was great to learn new ideas (to spice up my classrooms) and also meet some of my colleagues who I’ve only known through email up until now. A couple days ago, I made a …
