Maintain. Don’t Gain.

Several years ago, the fitness center that I belonged to held a Maintain, Don’t Gain challenge.  We weighed in a day or two before Thanksgiving and then again, after New Year’s.  We won a t-shirt if our ending weight was the same or less than the beginning weight. It helped me stay focused on what [

Rewriting the Rules

This is the book that started it all for me, and the one that I have recommended to countless clients over the years. As I’ve been working on some material for an upcoming class, I’ve been inspired to re-write the eating guidelines.  Different ideas about this have been floating on the edge of my co

Everything Ends

Everything Ends by Susan Brooks I listened to Susan Brooks speak about the pieces in her Rush of Water  series, and these two words stuck:  Everything Ends. In the narrative of the series, it represents the end of a relationship, and while I’m processing through an ending of sorts with my Dharma Bud

Recently, I was reminded of the classic “journalistic” questions: who?  what? where? when? how? and thought that they make an interesting structure for noticing characteristics of your relationship with food.

Starting Over

A familiar story  the impulse is there, the intention is there, the desire is there… so what happens?  This time, it wasn’t so much about slipping back into habitual eating patterns – I was eating and enjoying meals mostly consciously, and I wasn’t blogging about it.  I thought about blogging about

The Journey Begins!

I’ve written before about the Diets Don’t Work practices that I’ve used to lose over fifty pounds and keep it off for eight years.  They form the core of the Conscious Eating Discover journey. A primary tool for the journey is the food journal.  I know, I know.  It brings back all the memories of tr

Holy Body Day – An Invitation

Last year I wrote about the inaugural Holy Body Day.   This year, there’s a facebook page.  I considered joining my friend and colleague, Susan Freeman, in her QiCoach Spring Detox… but it wasn’t feeling more like a “good idea” than inspired action.

I’m Just Sayin’

A year ago I took a Blog Triage class to spif up my blog.  One of the assignments was to set up some Google Alerts on relevant key words/phrases.  I completed the assignment and set up my mail tool so they would go directly to their own folder and not clog up my inbox.  And [...]

Countdown to 60!

I was walking on this path a few days ago enjoying a beautiful spring day (unlike today which has dawned gray and snowy.  alas!) – feeling the burst of spring energy in a happy-go-lucky mood.  Feeling the surge of “I want more of this!”  More of this happy-to-be-alive-and-walking-this-path feeling.
