Food as Fun?
by Cathy on 15. May, 2008 in Motivation and Inspiration
Do you associate food with having fun? For many of us, we do. If you want to have fun with a friend or your family, what do you do? You eat! Many times, we make the connection that in order to have fun – we need food!! Food is fun, it fills our time from [...]
Summer Exercise – All 3
by Cathy on 14. May, 2008 in Exercise, Movement & Activity
The days are finally warming up and summer is around the corner. As it warms up, remember to keep hydrated regularly throughout the day and use sunscreen. When the sun is at its peak (around Noon to 3:00 p.m.) try to work out earlier in the morning or later in the evening. Be sure you include [...]
Mindfulness
by Cathy on 13. May, 2008 in Weight Loss and Maintenance
Mindfulness is important when you are eating so you can pay attention to how much you’ve eaten, enjoying what you’ve eaten, and how it feels in your body. Mindfulness is a great way to capture the power of the present moment and enjoy TODAY. It is so easy to get caught up in our own [...]
The Investment of Exercise, The Payoff Of Your Life
by Cathy on 12. May, 2008 in Motivation and Inspiration
I must admit, if I didn’t have to exercise to maintain my weight, keep healthy, and continue the habits of my lifestyle, I would not exercise. Nope, I don’t particularly love it. I didn’t carry around 147 pounds of excess weight for the majority of my life by enjoying exercise. However, what I do love is [...]

by Cathy on 10. May, 2008 in Exercise, Movement & Activity

Just Because
by Cathy on 09. May, 2008 in Self-Comforting & Self-Nurturing
We give presents at birthdays and other holidays, but what about a “just because” gift. Wrap it up, complete with a pretty bow. SURPRISE!! This is great to do for your partner, children, family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. What about you? Have you ever given yourself a gift? Buy yourself something you’ve wanted, wrap it [...]
MIA
by Cathy on 08. May, 2008 in Self-Comforting & Self-Nurturing
As my clients and friends know, I post almost daily to my blog. However, as you can tell, I haven’t lately. I’m committed to providing education, support, and motivation through my blog so it would take something major to occur for me to be MIA-missing in action. A week ago, I pinched a nerve in [...]
Decide to Make a Decision
by Cathy on 01. May, 2008 in Motivation and Inspiration
It is hard to make a decision. I’m fearful of making the wrong decision. Do I have all the information I need? The fears go on and on. Do you have struggles with making decisions? If so, I’ll share something that has helped me. The first thing I do is to make a pros and [...]
