Today and Everyday
Summer….a great time to take a walk. I treasure my morning walks. There is just something about being outside and the rhythm of walking that is relaxing and energizing to me. I listen to podcasts or to the birds. Some days it is just the dogs and me; other days, my husband, daughter or friends […]
How many of you step on the scale every morning? How many of you judge the success of your health and fitness journey on what the scale says? Probably most of us. And, I don’t blame you. It is an easy measurement. Many of us have a particular “weight” that we believe is ideal. But […]
A few weeks ago, Mark and I were out walking the dogs. I was looking at the neighbor’s garden instead of where I was going and I didn’t see the dog stop in front of me. I tripped over her and after multiple lunging steps, managed to keep myself upright. Meanwhile, Mark is laughing saying he […]
The other day, I was driving to the airport listening to a radio station I used to listen to as a teenager. It is now an oldies station. They basically changed their format to match the demographics of their loyal listeners, my generation (45-65 years old). What caught my attention was that every other commercial […]
A few years ago, I was stuck. My excuses were bigger than my desire to change. I was tired of being “good” for 2 weeks then being “off” for 6 weeks. I was tired of being tired. I was ready for a change. I wasn’t sure how to do it, I just knew I wanted […]
Apps…where was our life before we had them? We use them to keep track of our grocery lists, write to-do lists, check the news, follow our favorite sports teams, and of course, stay connected with our friends and families. So, why not use an App to help you stay on track with your health and […]
Working out for me is part of my daily routine. Without it, I feel like others feel when they miss their morning cup of coffee. And when I work out, I want to feel like I’ve worked out. The sweatier, the better. Because of that, for a long time, I rarely included a day of […]

I am kind of a gadget freak. I love my technology. Some of it I use to keep my life organized, while some I have just out of curiosity. My latest gadget acquisition is my new Fitbit Charge HR. I love it because not only does it count my steps and flight of stairs, it […]
Is it 3500, 5000, 10,000? It’s 10,000. 10,000 steps for improved health. 10,000 steps for improved strength, mobility, mood and sleep. 10,000 steps because it translates to the Surgeon General’s recommendation of accumulating 30 minutes of activity per day. Sadly though, the average American only walks 5,100 steps per day – a level that is […]
