Health and Wellness
I was wandering around Dudley’s used bookstore in Bend, Oregon the other day when this ”Are you Psychic?” book caught my third eye. It’s by Pete A. Sanders, Jr. and it’s all about the Free Soul Method of expanding your psychic abilities. He is an MIT trained scientist, according to the cover, so he knows [...]
I was hanging out on Kristin’s bench by Pete’s Coffee, and one of her friends read my aura. He said it was golden. That seems good? Golden Aura Color: The color of enlightenment and divine protection. When seen within the aura, it says that the person is being guided by their highest good. It is [...]
Every day at about 3:00 p.m. I suddenly realize I’m starving. And I need food, NOW. And it needs to be a balanced combo-pack of Paleo goodness, which in my case means some protein, fat and carbs. A handful of nuts won’t cut it when I’m on the edge of low caloric meltdown. I stand [...]
The thing about a conference like Fitbloggin’ is it makes you feel real. When you write about health and wellness, about fitness and weight loss, things get personal. We are sharing stories about our bodies, after all, and how our legs and arms and stomachs feel about getting off the couch, carrying babies (if we [...]
In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on a bit of a journey this past year. We moved. Twice. So there’s that. I helped the family get settled, and now I’m networking my way into a new community for work, finding old friends and making new ones, and starting the Chubby Mommy Running Club in [...]
It’s Trader Joe’s Tuesday! Every week I’ll profile a Paleo Diet friendly product I’m in love with, and maybe a recipe. Hey, it’s my blog, so I get to make up the days! Maybe we’ll start a Costco Friday next. Think of the possibilities! So anyway. I’m totally into these Trader Joe’s chicken sausages. They’re a good [...]
First of all, I’m not a nutritionist, or a trainer, or any sort of expert on how or what you should eat. You know that right? I have a degree in English. And one in Fine Arts. Just so we’re clear.
The FedEx man knocked on my door while I was in the bathtub. The dogs went nuts. I didn’t know who it was, but I hadn’t heard from my mom in several days, so I had a hunch it might be her, stopping by, like she does sometimes. I grabbed a towel, and went to [...]
When Sarah over at IronGirl called me to ask if I’d be interested in a sponsorship to their Portland, OR Sprint Triathlon in June, I laughed. My running coach, Robin, over at Every Mom to Iron Mom has been telling me it’s time for me to do a Sprint, but I keep whining about not [...]
This guest post, by my running partner, Rebekah, made me question my own continued love/hate relationship with my bathroom scale. I pretend I don’t care about the numbers, even when my jeans are getting lose, I’ve lost almost 20 pounds, and I just.ran.12.miles! But alas, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t. Rebekah is [...]
