Thintuition
I could write on and on about the benefits of Thintuion, this “method”, this extremely un-common sense method for losing weight. About 3 years ago, I decided never to diet again. I gained 25 pounds! But I stopped obsessively thinking about food and it has been heavenly! For those of you who have ever thought about food [...]
Advice to myself after Thanksgiving
I had one of those rolling around mornings where I woke up, laid in bed, started to think about getting up and then drifted back into dreaming. Rinse, repeat. Eventually when I was more awake, I started indulging in one of my bad habits which is imagining that I can go back in time and [...]
Write a little everyday
Write a little everyday, without hope, without despair. -Isak Dinesen Found in Writing to Change the World by Mary Pipher Wow, I could use that sentiment in a lot of areas of my life: “Exercise a little everyday, without hope, without despair.” “Reach out to other people a little everyday, without hope, without despair.” “Plant [...]
Do you like to read or do something else while you are working out?

“A job well left” or “Sometimes it helps to see it in print”
Last week I went for some bookstore therapy with a gift card in my wallet. I got some great books including “Finding Flow” by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (pronounced Chik-SENT-me-high-ee.) I find it to be a very encouraging book and it’s motivated me to get off my butookus and get some exercise the last few days. ChiksSENTmehighee also reassured me this morning [...]
