The holidays are here, a time for family, friends…and an abundance of high fat/high calorie foods. Many of these foods signify that the holidays are upon us and we often want to celebrate by enjoying the special foods and sweet treats that surround us. For some, certain holiday foods or desserts bring us right back to the comfortable place where we originally feasted on them. For others, it’s simply...

Just because you work in a corporate setting for 8-12 hours a day, doesn’t mean you have to lose the battle of the bulge.J - Ideally, your schedule allows you to squeeze in at least 30 minutes a day of moderate intensity exercise like fast walking. (It doesn’t have to be 30 consecutive minutes; it can be broken up.) - Even if your schedule doesn’t allow much time for exercise, it is in fact possible...

So it has been a little bit since my last post, but the holidays were such a crazy time. I hope you all can understand. I talked with my health coach today, my first call in a couple of weeks. We discussed some of my activity (or lack thereof) over the holidays, and happened upon the topic of holiday parties. Now, before the holiday season, my coach and I had discussed some strategies to use at the...

Today despite my best intentions, I experienced a non-wellness day. The day got the best of me and took me to eating establishments that I normally would not frequent. I found my self not snacking throughout the day to control my blood sugar like I normally do, and the water was non-existent. Wow. I surprised my self with how off the mark I was with my wellness efforts. To top it off, all the stress...

You will not believe what happened to me today. Just when I thought my job could not get any worse, it did. So there seems to have been a bit of a mishap in the restroom this afternoon. We don’t have separate restrooms for guys and gals, just a single restroom shared by all in our office suite. Someone was kind enough to clog the toilet and not do anything about it (I still maintain that it was...

I’m going to keep today’s post short and sweet. It’s Friday, and I’m sure none of you feel like doing anything today. I sure don’t. Plus, it was our office holiday potluck today at lunch. I think most of us around the office are currently suffering from a case of Stage 3 Food Coma (yeah, pretty serious situation). I actually just dozed off for a second while typing that last sentence. At any rate,...

...or is the expression " the cart before the horse"? Either way when it comes to health lets not see our Doctor for health prevention consulting. I mean no disrespect to Doctors, however, they are not in the prevention business. They are in the sickness business. So the idea is not to wait until to get sick and have to see your Doctor to ask him what the cause of your illness is, simply because he...

Let me start this morning’s post by saying that I am very angry. Not just angry, but irritable, tired, cranky, grumpy, and every other mood you can name in the category of being generally mad at the world. And this is all because I have given up coffee. Okay, okay…so I can’t say that I have given up completely. Today is only the second day without my morning “cuppa joe”. But let me tell you, it...

The way that companies are scrambling these days to cut costs in order to ensure their survival makes it seem like the whole corporate world is crashing down. This is obviously not the case, however employers are looking for any avenue possible to increase their bottom line. One of the main costs to a company is health care, and that is based upon employee wellness. So if employee wellness is increased,...

As schedules become more and more hectic, and it feels like the 9-5 has turned into the 7-6, with a never-ending work-load. Having such a busy lifestyle causes one to feel as though they need to be working more quickly and efficiently than every before. However many people do not pay attention to how much stress this lifestyle is putting on their bodies, and how in the long run this truly affects their...
