My workouts lately have consisted of running and yoga so I was long overdue for a change in routine. I bought a Groupon for Stacy’s Bootcamp earlier this year and figured now was as good a time as any to use it. Monday at 6 a.m. comes early but there is no better way to start the week than with… Read More
The number of must-try restaurant options available in NYC makes being a health coach in this city a constant challenge (a topic I addressed in a previous post). I often venture out to the latest and greatest restaurants only after careful study of the menu. But when the restaurant has raw, vegan or farm to table themes, I’m there in… Read More
Today just might be the best weather we’ve had in NYC all Summer! My boyfriend and I were awake bright and early and since he has been feeling under the weather, decided to forgo our morning run but traded it for a stroll over the Brooklyn Bridge. He and I have both made the trip once before but never together… Read More

I dutifully went to Whole Foods to look… Read More
I took a short hiatus from posting because we’ve had out of town guests for the past week. They left today and I’m now looking forward to getting back to my routine. Don’t get me wrong, I love having visitors but it’s often necessary to give up eating and exercise patterns along with any sense of a schedule for the… Read More
One food I am loving right now is sardines. There. I can’t believe I said it. You wouldn’t believe the disgusted looks I get when I admit this. But if you have never considered adding sardines to your diet, you should. Sardines are named for Sardinia, an Italian island where large schools of the fish were once found. The small,… Read More
In honor of “Change the Way you See Not the Way you Look” week hosted by Operation Beautiful, I wanted to take the opportunity to post my story about my journey with body image and self love.
