I met with my cardiologist Friday and for the second time in a month, she said something about asking myself “why me?” This is not a question that I ask myself. It just never occurs to me. What are we asking when we ask this question? Why me and not someone else? Why me, I…
Really? You think so? Somehow, unless you have been in this situation, I don’t think you could possibly understand! I learned a lesson about empathy this week. Someone said these words to me. We therapists (yes, including me) frequently use this very statement with our patients. Unfortunately, not only is it an untruth, it is…
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a relatively new therapy (about 30 years old) as compared to psychoanalysis. It has more of a wellness approach than many other therapies. A primary focus of ACT is identification of personal values and making efforts to live one’s life in service of those values. ACT recognizes that when…
It’s Father’s Day and a time to remember. Some of my most vivid childhood memories are of my father in the pulpit. You see, my dad was a Methodist minister until I was 7 or 8 years old. If you have never experienced such a thing, maybe this will help you to understand. Imagine a…
Before: You have such a pretty face! “I can’t imagine you have THAT much to lose!” I think you are pretty the way you are… During: Wow, you look great, be careful you don’t lose too much weight! “I thought you looked great before, but now…!” How are you doing it? Really, just exercising and…
(disclaimer: I have no training in nutritional sciences, the information below is merely based on my experiences) When I started losing weight, I closely followed my bodybugg and the meal plan. I maintained a 1400 calorie intake and aimed for 2400 calorie burn (1000 calorie deficit to average 2lb per week weight loss). I kept…
Throughout this journey, my workouts have changed. As I have said in the past, my weight loss workouts were cardio, stability, core strength, and low level strength training. The goal was to lose weight and tone. Last year, I started using more intense workouts. At least they seemed pretty intense at the time. However, as…
In January, I still had a cough from the Scarlett Fever/Strep Throat and I went to my doctor. They did the responsible thing and sent me for a chest x-ray (I may glow in the dark by the end of 2012). The chest x-ray indicated a possible twisted aorta, some sort of spot on my…
Before I continue, I must tell you that my chiropractor has gotten me through all of the events about which you may have already read and through all that you are about to read. Words cannot express how valuable chiropractic care can be. I believe the injury in August occurred on a Wednesday and I…
On March 6, 2011, I reached my goal weight. Actually, I weighed in two pounds below my goal (128). I was thrilled and reveled in this for a while. I went shopping and bought stylish (and expensive) clothes and continued to work out in the same way as I had worked out for the past…
