Wellness Makeover: Breakfast

Over the past few years, the wellness habits I had established have for the most part disintegrated. Since my husband Neil and I have been working at home, we have struggled with keeping a good routine and not letting work take over our lives. And unfortunately, his back injury put us on more equal ground…

Winter Blues

I feel funny saying anything about winter here in Southern California, but it’s been kinda cold and dreary lately. Especially since the time change. I was doing really well on getting out for afternoon walks, but that was when it was still warm and sunny when I got home from work. Now it is overcast…

Small Changes, Big Impact

Walking home from my Pilates session today, I was thinking about my success with losing weight. Fifteen pounds may be the most I’ve ever lost. I can remember losing 10 lbs a few times with great effort and sacrifice and then feeling stalled, discouraged and having a hard time keeping up what I was doing…

Emerging from Silence

My voice hasn’t been present here for a few reasons, one being the sudden and wretched loss of my computer. I still await its return and use a feeble hobbling old computer for limited online activity. To tell you another reason involves reluctantly revealing the fact that I am on a diet. Yes, for me,…

The Downward Spiral

Self-care is part of the web of your life and is affected by any stress you are experiencing. Work is usually the primary source of stress for me. When the stress volume rises, I start to miss some of my self-care goals. It often starts with not sleeping well and starting the day tired. Next…

Ready for a Commitment

I am tired of the passionate flings that come and go in my life. I’m ready for a serious relationship. That’s what I was thinking this weekend as I listened to friends discussing their latest dieting and exercise efforts. I don’t want another diet love affair. You get swept up and pour your heart into…

Creating Ways to Succeed

Since my little epiphany yesterday, I realized that not only do I need a contingency plan for those times that I stray from the plan, I need more plans… more options. The more I thought about it, I realized that my resolutions had created one concept of success. Just one. So I had an infinite…

Deviations from the Plan

I had one of those eureka moments today (or YOUreka in the You on a Diet book I’m in the middle of reading). I just read a section of the book in which the authors emphasize how your attitude about failure has a big impact on your success with changing your diet and fitness habits….

In Search of Mindful Eating

Now that I’m into reading the “You on a Diet” book, I’ve launched into a full online exploration of alternative approaches to healthy eating and weight management. I remembered seeing something about mindful eating that I intended to go back to one day. A web search led me to a number of interesting resources that…

Best and most difficult part of my week was figuri Best and most difficult part of my week was figuring out how to rescue this adorable 8-week old that appeared outside our apartment building. She was too scared to let me touch her but she wanted to be friends. My bruised knees attest to how long it took to convince her to go for the food bowl in the carrier. Thanks to many failures, I'm now really good at strategically placing small tastes of canned food along a stick to entice her closer and closer. I had to wait until finally the time her head AND ALL four paws went inside to shut the door without her getting away. Had a rope tied to the door* to shut it from a distance, but the winning move was playfully looking at her through the holes in the carrier so she felt safe enough to enter. After vet visit and her safe arrival at a friend's house, I finally got to hold her and was rewarded with sweetest neck nuzzles. 🥰
* Warning: panicked kitten almost immediately got rope wrapped around her neck so plan for quick removal of rope if you try this!
