It was my birthday last weekend and I did one of my favorite things… I ate. I didn’t overeat, but I ate most of the foods I love that I don’t eat on a regular basis (because they wouldn’t be considered the “healthiest”). I’ll admit it, my birthday was on a Saturday, but I “celebrated” all weekend.

Beware: Not All Spring “Leaning” Challenges Are For You

It’s the time of year when I start seeing a lot of weight loss challenges that promise to help you “lean in spring” coming up on my Facebook newsfeed. I’m not surprised because when I was a trainer, this was the time of year the gym started getting busy again, second to January, because April seems to serve as sort of a “wake-up call” to get back in action if they’ve been neglecting the health and fitness goals they set out to accomplish in the beginning of the year.

One of my busy clients who has a husband, three daughters (two who still live at home), and runs three successful businesses (yes, three!) recently started carving out some time to go for a walk around her neighborhood. Besides the fact that she learned that she likes being outside and taking in the fresh air, she also discovered something interesting.

On a podcast I was listening to the other day, the two guys on the show began talking about how much money we need to make to actually make us happy. The study they were talking about said that that number is around $60-75K – basically enough to allow one to live comfortably in most places in the U.S. Interestingly, they also found that making a lot more than that doesn’t necessarily correlate to more happiness or higher emotional well-being.

Is Self-Care Selfish?

There’s a word that comes up quite often when I talk with women in midlife: “I need to be more selfish with my time.” “But, I don’t want to seem selfish.” “Geez, I’m using the word ‘Me’ and ‘I’ a lot and it sounds selfish.” That word “selfish” comes up a lot because I talk to ladies every day who have put themselves last on their list for too long. They have been so “self-LESS” throughout their lives that their health has suffered a little or a lot as a result and hence, they reach out to me because now in their midlife years, they are ready to refocus on taking care of themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally.
