In mid-August, during my week on Cape Cod, Michael and I took a drive to the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, run by the Mass Audubon Society. The day was warm and humid yet we chose a walk instead of the beach. Michael had visited the sanctuary in April and loved it.
Our walk started from the [...]
Recently I’ve talked to folks trying to lose weight. They are exercising and eating right, they are frustrated. My first thoughts are always “are you exercising enough?” and “what is your diet really like?”
Today it hit me - read your food labels. I only recently started to do that as I became curious [...]
Lots in the news today. A new report shows that Massachusetts adults rank 2nd only to Colorado as the leanest adult population in the country. That doesn’t mean we can get lazy! Keep up the good work.
That said children in the state aren’t as lean as the adults. Kids age 10 [...]

I am just getting back to work after a week on Cape Cod. The trip combined a workshop on meditation with vacation. The workshop took place Monday - Friday 9am until noon which leaves plenty of time for R&R. This away could not have come at a better moment. I was tired of thinking, tired [...]

This week I’m on the Cape for a workshop/vacation in Orleans, MA on Cape Cod. While in town the other day I noticed the Life Center for Health offering chiropractic services, tai chi, acupuncture and yoga. I was so excited. We walked across the street to check it out and grab a schedule. I was [...]
It’s been a couple of weeks since I posted about P90X. It’s still going - week 8 was a rest week and I definitely rested. At least from anything that had to do with P90X. I’m at a point in my life and my workouts where I just don’t want that kind of [...]
