Variations On A (Healthy Meal) Theme


So, Warriors. Let’s talk about one of my favorite topics: food. Love to eat it, sometimes love to cook it, don’t always have the time to prep and prepare it. But, since my work is local and I do a lot of it from home, I have the luxury of being in my kitchen for most meals. Even on days when I’m running around like crazy, I try to feed myself something healthy…so that I don’t end up at the [...]

Happy Spring! Let's Celebrate!


Today, I am celebrating spring! Really, how could you not?? It’s currently 73 degrees and sunny here in beautiful Hastings on Hudson, NY. Which translates into tank-top-and-flip-flops weather, at least for me. Wheeee! With all this gorgeousness and the spring solstice this week, I’ve been noticing a lot of shifts happening in my daily life. See if any of this sounds familiar. Just this week, all of this has happened: I dusted off my bike, put air in the tires, [...]

Just When You Think You're Pretty Smart


Boy oh boy… am I an idiot! This was my first thought last Thursday morning after listening to Paul Chek for say about uuummm… three minutes.

Anyway, it is too late and I’m already too committed to being the best personal trainer I can [...]

There’s a lot I could say on this topic – and I might expand on different aspects of my daily practice in future posts – but today, I thought I’d start with the basics: What is my current daily practice and [...]

Tomorrow is Paul Chek Day!


Tomorrow I’m heading into the city and I’m so excited!! Not only because I thoroughly enjoy being in the city since it’s not so often I make it in anymore (although I’ll be in Times Square, which normally I can’t stand but I’ll make an exception to be happy about… but just this once), but I’m also excited because I will be in a seminar from 9 to 4:30! (No sarcasm whatsoever… I really am excited. Really.) My excitement is [...]

Really? We’re Still Doing JUST the Cardio Thing?


Last night I was taking a late evening stroll with the little one since he was crabby as all heck and I figured a little crisp air might help him relax (which thankfully it did), when I noticed, as I passed by the little local gym, something that perplexed me. (Or, I could also say that it was something that made total sense to me which in turn made me feel sorry for those poor gym members.) Shall I set [...]
