GT Peeps Living Consciously Through The Holidays…

November 27, 2012 by

The holidays seem to be the hottest time of year to catch up with everyone we have EVER encountered in life.  We squeeze 20 events into 8 nights and paste our biggest smile on for each of them.  Many of us will be pulled in several directions that go against our self-care, like baking sugary traditions, being served alcohol […]

I complete me…..

Do you remember passing the Kleenex box when Renee Zellweger said her famous words to Tom Cruise in Jerry McQuire? “YOU COMPLETE ME”.  Although quite romantic in the movie, did we ever think about the real meaning of those words?  Relying on someone else to complete……US?  What if we couldn’t change or fix someone to be our fairy […]

RN Advice: Holiday Inflammation

October 21, 2012 by

I love this time of the year with the turning foliage, pumpkins baking in the oven and toasty fires but frankly this saying is right on.  Halloween is the beginning of abundant comfort food meals and baked treats.  Couple that with increased stress – a toxic combination that leads to INFLAMMATION. Do not fear, with […]

When do I get my Busy – Bee Trophy? Last week, I was speaking with fellow GT coach and dear friend, Peggi, throughout the conversation she asked how I was handling things with school on top of work, my reply was – I’ve adapted. I don’t feel crazy busy anymore, even though I’ve added responsibilities […]

How We Roll – Coach David Cohen

I’ve had a major lifestyle change recently, and not one I chose!  The 40 foot motorcoach that I’ve called home for the last 2 years suddenly caught fire due to a (unbeknownst to me) recalled refrigerator.  We switched gears immediately to couch surfing with 3 dogs (oh boy was that fun) for a few weeks and finally […]

“I Was Fed Up!”

July 8, 2012 by

As a 5’7” fifty-two year old woman, I was fed up with my overall appearance, lack of fitness, and self care. I’d gradually added 3-4 pounds each year and done nothing about it. One day I hit 153 pounds, which was only 9 pounds shy of my weight when I delivered my son… My varicose […]

RN ADVICE: Self Care For a New You!!

December 31, 2011 by

Self Care is the theme as we start the New Year.  Many of us barely meet our most basic needs as we focus on our families, friends, and work.  In the back of our minds we know this is important.  We feel the frustration and effects of stress as we experience the lack of Self […]

The cold season has begun for our family.  This last month went well and I lost a couple more pounds, then I had a setback when I caught a cold from my son.  I was pretty darned cranky as I had burned some fat, which released those old hormones, started my monthly cycle, and had […]

Finding Time 2 Pee…my bumpy road to ME

Coach Peggi Ingram, RN I know you have experienced days and sometimes weeks or even months when you are just too darn busy to pee let alone think or plan!  As Sheri says, we get very caught up in the do- ing and forget about the be-ing.  As a previous emergency room nurse, I have […]

Coach Michele John Ok, I love when folks say, “ I am just too busy during the day, literally, I am too busy to pee” .  The first thought that runs through my mind is, WOW either they have a lot of accidents or they must like wearing Depends.  I am personally a fan of […]
