I really wanted to link up to Jenn’s What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW) link party this week, so it helped me be motivated to try and bring a little variety into my (food) life. I met a friend on Monday at Breathe in Pittsford (the other Lisa B!) for a little browsing and a green …
One of my foremost goals in wellness coaching is to empower people to take responsibility for their own health and happiness. Often, I feel like I should have a degree in psychology instead of health because I also notice the range of perceptions by people about what role they play in their health. My dream …

Random things for today. 1. I have been getting a lot of emails from my workshop participants who want an electronic copy of the smoothie recipes. So I posted the smoothie workshop recipes in a new page tab (see above). There are also a bunch of other ones if you click on smoothies/juices in the …

I slaved in the kitchen yesterday…and I can tell you that it won’t be happening again anytime soon! There are two reasons: 1. Joe got home and was ill, and I had eaten way too many kale chips out of the dehydrator all day…so we both took two bites of dinner and stopped (even though …
In every wellness or nutrition class I teach, there is always a section about how to interpret and assess health information. This is all about learning how to decide intelligently what you should believe and what you shouldn’t. We delve into why popular media may not be the best foundation for your lifestyle choices, and …
I’ve felt slightly off-track lately with food and fitness. My yoga teacher went to India for a month, so I boycotted yoga. I canceled my gym membership at the million dollar fancy gym (ok, it was only $115 a month…but geez). I had a hip problem, and a hip flexor problem…and a lower back problem. …

At 32, I occasionally have to remind myself that I am no longer a young adult… I’m full-fledged and all, even though I often get mistaken for a college student (which is nice at times—if you look young, people expect less of you. I can deal with the condescension I sometimes get at work because …
I kept my apartment totally clean this week. Everyday, I picked up my stuff, cleaned the kitchen, put things where they belong, and made the bed (well, Joe might have done that). Does this sound like a big deal? Because it was. And it was easy too. That’s not to say I never made a …
Thanks for your interest in the cilantro pesto! That stuff is great—but it is definitely more bitter than basil pesto. I’ll share the recipe with you below. I also want to tell you about a super cleansing mud mask (don’t worry, it does not involve cilantro pesto!). First, why cilantro? It’s a GREAT detoxifier, and …

I’m working at home again (read: big smile and daytime pj’s—which could usually double as yoga attire, but my yoga instructor is in India right now). I meant to go get coffee at Starbucks, but when I went outside, I only made it as far as Bruegger’s (crossing Monroe felt like too big of a …
