My "This is what worked for me" List

My “This is what worked for me” List

Posted on October 1, 2019September 30, 2019 by Heather

In my previous post I wrote about how our hot water heater sprung a leak and disrupted our lives, and that I got through it. This reminded me of an assignment that my therapist gave me a few months ago. She said, that since I was doing a lot better she wanted me to make READ MORE

Planning Meals Ahead of Time

Planning Meals Ahead of Time

Posted on September 12, 2019September 12, 2019 by Heather

So I walked into the kitchen, saw the giant bag of chocolate chips on the counter, grabbed a very small bowl, and deposited a handful of the little morsels of goodness into it. Then I started thinking about what to make for supper. Nothing about this story is evidence of a healthy approach to eating. READ MORE

Forests, Nanaimo Bars, and Setting Myself Up for Failure

Posted on August 17, 2019August 17, 2019 by Heather

Allow me to apologize for the lack of posts during the past couple of weeks. I was on vacation. While I alluded to this in previous posts, I didn’t want to announce that we’d be away from our house for that time, even though we did have a house / dog sitter.  Anyway, I’m back READ MORE

Yogurt With Matcha and Blueberries

Posted on July 30, 2019July 30, 2019 by Heather

I threw something together for lunch today that turned out to be pretty tasty so I thought I’d share it here. There’s a place to eat at the university where they make a really great matcha latte and I get it with skim milk and no syrup. They steam the milk just right to get READ MORE

Being a Mom Doesn't Mean I Can Do It All

Being a Mom Doesn’t Mean I Can Do It All

Posted on July 11, 2019July 11, 2019 by Heather

I usually exercise every morning. I find that I have a better workout and feel better throughout the day if I do it first thing in the morning. If not, I have trouble getting motivated to exercise later in the day so a workout likely won’t happen. There is also evidence that working out at READ MORE

Yes, But How Do You Feel?

Yes, But How Do You Feel?

Posted on March 27, 2019March 27, 2019 by Heather

I’ve written before about how I’ve had struggles with my weight and that I worked really hard to lose about 25 founds in the second half of 2017. I’ve stayed pretty close to that weight since then and I’m proud of that, but I’m trying to focus on something other than the numbers. When I READ MORE

Dealing With Control Issues

Dealing With Control Issues

Posted on November 25, 2018November 25, 2018 by Heather

I have control issues. If there’s a problem, I go looking for a solution. When somebody else comes to me with a problem, I often suggest potential solutions, when frankly, they may just want to vent. It’s one of the many things that I’m working on. Just this week my wife was dealing with a READ MORE

The Importance of Self-Compassion and Self-Care

Posted on September 28, 2018October 1, 2018 by Heather

Given the topic of my previous post, I thought I’d bring back something I wrote about several months ago about putting on your oxygen mask first. We each have to take care of ourselves or we can’t take care of anyone or anything else. With that in mind, I that this week I would write READ MORE

Listening to My Body

Posted on September 10, 2018September 4, 2018 by Heather

A few years ago I became a bit obsessive about running. It’s kind a long story that I won’t get into now, but I found running gave me a really great mood. I starting running a 5K almost every week on my treadmill, which was a lot for me. I kept that up for a READ MORE

Getting Back on My Path

Getting Back on My Path

Posted on July 30, 2018July 27, 2018 by Heather

A couple of weeks ago I was feeling buried by commitments at work and dealing with some things in my personal life. Then we went to visit some friends out of town which lead to missing a couple of workouts and eating less healthier than usual. This happens to all of us. Things come up READ MORE
