Recently, I wrote about my experience with pelvic floor dysfunction. In large part, the reason I was experiencing such discomfort was because I had high tone pelvic floor, hip flexor and inner thigh muscles. While it sounds like a good thing, “high tone” means that my muscles were too tight at rest, which was causing the imbalance. To release my… Read More

When I first started dating my husband, he would lovingly comment that my nose is always in a book. It’s true that I’ve always been a bit of a book worm. As an introvert, I could sit and read all day. I truly can’t get enough. I’ve always liked non-fiction and still do, but when I became a Health Coach,… Read More

I eat a fairly clean diet, so the weekends are my chance to be a little adventurous with food usually by trying a new restaurant or healthy-ish food trend. This weekend, I decided I wanted a bagel.   Since I went gluten-free a year ago, I haven’t had a bagel, so I did a little research and decided that I… Read More

From time to time, I stop in and post a little update on running, specifically where I am with it at any given moment in my life, because these things change. Once upon a time, I wrote more about running than I admittedly do now. Weekly posts about marathon and triathlon training were the norm. You may have noticed that… Read More

However, I knew that if my body was… Read More

I would stick with it for a few days, weeks or even a month and then it would just sort of fall to the wayside.  It was frustrating because I wanted to make… Read More

Oh you guys …. I wish I could tell you I had some epic weekend, but what I’ve been up to will have to wait until next Monday when I can actually make it official. Until then, I’ll stick with the basics, because I still managed to sneak in a few of my favorite things, albeit things you’ve seen around… Read More

I love a good snack. When you’re hungry, the right high protein snack can be a life-saver. It has the power to satisfy a craving and provide an energy boost that can carry you from one meal to the next.  I’ve noticed there are plenty of misconceptions about snacking. Two very common questions I get are: “Does snacking promote weight… Read More

Another weekend flew right by. As I type this, I’m watching the Oscars having just seen La La Land which completely blew me away and was so much better than I ever expected.  A large part of my weekend involved more time on the project I’ve been working on, which I promise I’ll elaborate on soon.  After a long week,… Read More
