Should you let go of green guilt?
~Sian I am fortunate enough to live 10 minutes away from a beautiful West Coast beach. My daughter, Lauren and I recently had lunch there, watching the waves crash and smelling the sea. Which was delightful. What wasn’t pleasant at all was the litter that was swishing around the sea. We saw one seagull with a six-pack rings [...]
When did food become the enemy?
~Sian When was the last time you truly enjoyed your meal? How often during the day do you mindless eat? The last time I savored a meal, its tastes and textures was…well, I really can’t remember to be honest with you. My meals are always rushed- raced through to get the kids off to school; [...]
What’s your happy weight?~Sian’s weekly weight in
What is your happy weight? I first saw this in a very very old Shape Magazine at my son’s Barber Shop. I didn’t have time to read the full article but it sure got me thinking.

School is back and so is my workout!~Sian’s weekly weigh in

What motivates you?~Sian’s weekly weigh-in
~Sian I had so many great comments on last week’s post, thank you! So, the consensus seems to be is training for a marathon will NOT make you skinnier, possibly just the opposite. Once the furnace gets going, you will have to feed it more to keep the fire alive. Interesting, never thought of that. My Weight [...]
Should I train to run a marathon to lose weight?~Sian’s weekly Weigh In
It’s the same problem so many of us have, losing the last 10-15 lbs. I think my body has gotten very comfortable at my current weight. The last time I weighed under the 140′s was about 10 years ago. Ironically, it was right after I had my first child. I was so darn determined to lose [...]
Today is Earth Day-5 quickies to-do today
