Is Your Scale Lying to You?
Comments off
Ever step on the scale and have a hard time believing its accuracy? Now, I’m not talking about delusion or denial…but more about the fact that you honestly can’t pinpoint why the scale is reading a three pound increase in your weight. It happens…it happens to all of us, and it can be very confusing, […]

Is Coca Cola Like Sunscreen for Your Insides?
Comments off
For the record, it isn’t my mission to necessarily pick at Coca-Cola, even though this is my second blog entry about the product. That said, I can’t promise that it will be the last one either. Ok, now that we have gotten that out of the way, the title of this blog is actually a […]

Eating Crap…Feels Like Crap
Comments off
Ugh. I feel like crap right now. The reality is, I haven’t eaten anything that bad, but I had lunch from P.F. Chang’s and a handful of Cheez-Its. Lunch was relatively healthy, but there was a little fried chicken in one of the dishes, and let’s face it, Cheez-Its aren’t the best for you (Ingredients […]

Are you ‘Old’?
Comments off
The other day I was chatting with a friend about a colleague and when I mentioned that the person was 50, she said, “Oh, they are old.” I nearly fell out of my chair. OLD? How is 50 OLD? I did a quick calculation of how far away I was from 50 and then turned […]

Does Botox give you freedom of expression?
Comments off
One of my biggest pet peeves within the advertising and marketing arena is false advertising…or for that matter, misleading the consumer. It happens all of the time and most of the time, I can let it go. That said, I’ve been fighting the urge to write about this specific topic for some time, but it […]

Comments off
Depending on where you live, you may not have had much of a summer. In the Northeast, we have had so much rain and dreary, cold days, that many of us feel robbed and can’t believe we are in the throws of honest to goodness Fall. It just doesn’t feel right that the leaves are changing […]

Thank God I wasn’t THAT Person
Comments off
There are times when we are in a rush, didn’t get enough sleep or are just in a bad mood. And, these times may very well bring out the worst in us. Unfortunately, we can be so caught up in our own worlds, that we lose all sense of self-awareness and don’t even realize how we […]

Running Indoors vs. Outdoors
Comments off
I run about 3 miles, 3 times a week. I enjoy it, but there is definitely a mental ramp up and inner pep-rally that goes on prior to my initiating my run. Part of this ritual includes the question: “Do I run inside or out?” Most of my impending decision is predicated purely on mood…bits of […]

One Diet Doesn’t Fit All
Comments off
Let’s face it, none of us are the same. And when it comes to nutrition, what may work for your best friend may very well pack on ten extra pounds for you. Some of us need more protein than others. Some of us may need more grains. There really isn’t a universal prescription for a healthy […]

The Permagrin: Being Forced to Smile
Comments off
Not long ago, I wrote an entry on how powerful it is to smile. Today, I’m going to discuss how important it is to allow yourself to not smile. Smiling is great…I’m all for it. It has a lot of great benefits and makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. But let’s face it: there are times […]
