JOURNAL 2 – TWO WEEKS STRONG AND GOING

It’s that time of the month again. No… not that time. The other time. The time where I tell you whether or not I’ve fallen off the wagon. And lucky for me, I haven’t.

About two weeks ago, I went to see a hypnotherapist. After years of being intrigued by the idea of someone swaying an antique watch before your eyes and blocking whatever memory you don’t want to remember. Or at least that’s what cartoons taught me.

First of all, people can only be helped if they truly want it. For instance, a smoker can only want to quit if somewhere in them they truly want to stop. The therapist then finds that part and brings it to the surface in a way. I bet you’re a little confused aren’t you. Ok… how about this. Go see a hypnotherapist, but before you do, research them. Seriously read up on their credentials as you would a plastic surgeon, or better yet, a doula! And I know hypnotherapists are expensive and not all take insurance and in this economy, we don’t all have insurance, so check out places like Living Social, Bloomspot (which is my favorite), and Lifebooker. Those aren’t the only ones out there, but they’re the only ones I could think of.


It’s time to get this workout party started!!!!!!

I recently had one of the most amazing conversations with Alison Kreideweis, from the Empire Tri Club in New York. I can’t begin to tell you her history in coaching, sports and just being in shape, as I’ll turn chartreuse with envy, but she’s legit. Alison then put me in touch with one of her ambassadors, Brad Gansberg, the creator of 5K in 100 Days.

Brad comes from a perspective of being out of shape then changing his life. I don’t want to give it all away, but go to his site, read more about it, and join!  And guess who’ll do it with you? ::points to herself:: THIS LADY HERE!


Fashion Month is here. It’s the time of the year where I “have” an excuse to not workout, not eat well, consume more Prosseco than normal and erase all the healthy habits I’ve acquired.

This Fashion Month shall be the real test. Will I sink or swim….
