New York Without Luggage, Reservations or Fresh Socks

/p> New York is an impossible place - an overbuilt island with a nasty climate, horrendous traffic and . . .magic. What's not to love? Our day trip to Manhattan was typical John and Laura - last minute. It was post Christmas and very cold after a snowstorm. The sky was bright blue and the wind was piercing as we stood at the bus stop in John's New Jersey hometown - Kearny. I, weak and pathetic after years of mild L.A. weather, huddled in a nearby store while John, the native, stood in the ...

A Few Ways to Exercise While Watching TV

A great way to ensure you actually use that treadmill is to "book yourself in" for treadmill time when your favorite TV show is on. How easy is this? All you have to do is commit to whenever a particular one hour TV show is on. The only rule is that you MUST be on the treadmill for the entire show. If you are absorbed in your TV show you will barely notice your exercising, and because you don't want to miss the start of your TV show, you will be on time. If you're a busy person this works ...

It's In the Can

A few weeks ago I wrote about a bike ride I'd completed and how a goal-setting process helped me accomplish something well beyond what I'd ever done before. One reader replied talking about setting goals for herself. That she needed to set specific goals, because she usually just tries to have it all, and she can't. I probably could have focused on the message about setting specific goals. Instead another word jumped out at me in that email. "Can't." Did you ever hear a quote to the effect of ...

Eating Rainbow Foods While Personal Training and Exercising

The latest Australian nutritional promotion states "eat two serves of fruit and five serves of vegetables" a day to get your recommended daily intake of nutrients. But how strict is this? It's a great guideline, but variety is the spice of life. If you love fruit and hate veggies, don't worry if you have five serves of fruit and two serves of veggies, it will pretty much do the job. Both are high in similar vitamins. A great idea is to eat from the rainbow. This means fruit and veggies with a ...
