One of America’s favorite pastimes is gathering for the Super Bowl, which often involves a spread of unhealthy food options. But you know what? Spending time with your friends and cheering for your favorite team should not have to add to your waistline! Eating clean can be easy, even at parties. You just need the tips and tools, and I’m excited to share them here for Women On The Fence readers!
“Christmas is over, you’ve put on weight, it’s cold out, it’s dark out, your credit card bills are in, you’re not going to get another day off until March, and you’re tired.
You might even be depressed.
If so, you are not alone, especially not today. For today, according to one measure, is Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year. (Montreal Gazette)
Sounds pretty gloomy. But for many, it truly is. For some, this January funk is a result of cold weather, overspending during the holidays, the state of the economy, a relat
It’s Cyber Monday girlies, which means online sales galore! But there really isn’t anything I’ve wanted or needed. I’m not jumping up and down for Louboutins which are reduced from $700 to $595.
But, there is this one thing I’ve had my eye on. I keep seeing this Keurig display carousel on TV commercials and I’ve wanted it. My readers know I live for my Keurig coffee machine, but those Green Mountain K-cup boxes look so unattractive on the counter. I wanted something pretty, and lord knows, I was going to find it! So, I cheated on Cyber Monday, and instead if buying online, (I needed that instant gratification), I went out to buy it! I just got home from Walmart.
Stress just seems to keep on increasing in modern life. And there is evidence for that! According to a study done by the American Psychological Association, at least one third of Americans report that they are living with extreme stress, and about half of Americans think life keeps on getting more stressful. Despite modern conveniences and the technological advances we enjoy, stress just keeps on looming larger in our lives. Money and work are cited as the top leading causes of stress, which is not surprising in our uncertain and challenging economy.
I recently had the great honor of being the Celebrity Guest Chef in the kitchen on the fun-filled cooking TV show What’s Cooking. One thing my readers know about me– I love to eat, I can’t cook. I think that’s pretty clear, just by the way I handled that zucchini. 😉
Welcome back! I took a break last Wednesday to honor and respect my Jewish New Year, but I am back! And it’s freezing in Montreal. And it’s October- which always means… Halloween and Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
When my daughter was a year old, I experienced a sleep epiphany. After months of horrific night waking, she finally started clocking twelve solid hours each night. Meanwhile, I continued waking in the wee hours and fighting daytime fatigue at my full-time job. The delicious prize I’d looked forward to savoring—sweet, uninterrupted sleep—was still elusive.
When I look at how I manage the everyday juggle and grind, there is one thing that keeps me most grounded through it all. There is one thing, that no matter how stressed I am, or how frazzled I may be, that literally transforms my entire aura.
That’s yoga.
So I woke up 5:30am Sunday morning, stomach in knots, and pretty anxiety-ridden. This upcoming…
I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed (although I do pride on myself on being somewhat sharp), I can still recognize a sign when it’s flashed my way. And this week, the signs were all around.
This past week, I felt my anxiety level mounting, and I felt myself beginning to vent it onto my children. Shame on me, I hear you. But this is my safe place, so no judgement please. Nothing new had happened, nothing out of the ordinary, just my patience level was wearing thin this week, and instead of enjoying my boys, they were starting to, **GASP** annoy me. The bickering and whining was taking its toll. For those that know me, they know my children are my life. They take first priority. Before sex. Yes.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
