The Skin I’m In

Welcome to the fifth month of My Best Body Happiness Project! It's Thursday and I'm sharing my progress over on Running With Spoons weekly link-up. One element that I have slightly neglected in all of this body talk is my skin. I had a full skin check done back in February when I first visited …

Mid-Year Performance Report 2017

Back in April I gave you all the rundown on my Q1 Performance Report. It was a slow start to the year and right around the time I started training with my friend for the 8K we'll be running in September. Map My Run (not a sponsored post) sent me my Mid-Year Performance Report recently. …

Meditation Monday #40 – How to Meditate: The 5 Koshas (Annamaya)

Welcome to another rainy Monday at the beach. Do you know I haven't taken my kids to the beach at all this summer? How terrible is that?! Last summer our beach days were play dates and there were many of them, but this summer our beach buddy is also my running buddy and play dates …

Meditation Monday #36 – How to Meditate: The Four Aims of Life (Moksha)

It's Monday again and it's raining. Raining because it's spring and spring flowers need rain. Raining because it's April and April showers bring May flowers.

Meditation Monday #30 – My Best Body: A Happiness Project

I've been reading Gretchen Rubin's Happiness Project book this year. I haven't quite finished it yet and that's why you haven't been privileged to a Fave Reads Friday post on the book yet. But, I thought that it was time for me to define my own Happiness Project. The book has been very inspiring in …

TOLT – Why Numbers Matter Part 3

In the past I have been very upbeat about my weight. Part of this has been due to the privilege of being "thin" for most of my life. I didn't come by being thin easily, but I have been thin for most of my life due to periods of restrictive eating and periods of taking …

Meditation Monday #25 -Positive Energy and the Authentic Self

I am siting in the airport on Sunday night and writing this on my phone. The airline took my bag and my laptop with it. I guess it was too big for my flight. I was traveling for NETA again this weekend and taught a Yoga Foundations course to a small group of people in …

Currently December 2016

I'm back! Well, sort of. I've been away from my blog for a full month now. Why? By choice mostly....I've chosen to prioritize other things that I had going on. Also, because I'm pretty sure that I'm suffering from a little holiday depression. It's almost the end of the year and a lot of people …

At the bottom I have some thoughts related to the article and the upcoming holiday season and specifically eating during the holiday season.  This article is super applicable if you have children, work with children, interact regularly with children, or know …
