Sometimes I set goals and then I forget about them, and never even take one tiny step toward reaching them. I can’t really explain this, but it just happens sometimes. On the other hand, sometimes I set goals and I have a one-track mind about reaching them (like that time I wrote 150 pages of …

Yesterday, I feasted on kale chips (yes, the entire batch), and today I ate a truckload of coconut cream pudding. I should call it fruit dip, but I didn’t dip anything — I just ate it with a spoon, half at lunch and half at dinner. It was not a couple days of great variety …

Lifestyle and health can be a touchy subject. Just as anything in wellness, we have a responsibility to find the balance between what is happening to us and what is happening in our lives because of things we do. My entire philosophy regarding working with people on their wellness revolves around that principle. We, are …

Happy Monday! I have a feeling it is freezing outside, and I’ll be walking/running to the gym momentarily…with three layers on. It’s only two blocks away, but I’ve proven I can practically freeze my fingers before I get there. I’m pretty excited about my new PIP. Remember way back when I was doing my Personal …

My week is a chaotic mix of To Do Lists and Deadlines. I know, everyones’ lives are like that in their own ways (which is why I thought I’d mention it). In spite of the chaos, I’m realizing a few things about how I’ve changed over time. I don’t start my workdays in a frenzy …

I’ve been pretty boring in the kitchen lately—and when I’ve tried to get creative, all I end up with is a big mess. Since I decided to be “grain-free,” I’ve been using almond and coconut flours when I make things requiring flour (like waffles and….um, waffles). Almond and coconut flour are both pretty expensive, so …

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 …
Day 3 of Intermittent Fasting (but I’d rather call it delayed eating) Read More »
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 …

I used to know this old Ukranian lady who moved to Rochester from Elmira after her husband died…her “new” house was built in the ’90s, and she just kept saying over and over, “I always say, New is New.” I think of that now when things change for me. I’ve always been dead set against …
One of the best things about being a teacher is back to school shopping. Even though I teach primarily online, I still have two evenings a week this fall when I’ll be teaching in classrooms. First, I should be figuring out how to fill 3 hours of time with productive, useful, interesting information (for class …
