Teaching Financial Responsibility

January 15, 2013 3 Comments

When you were a kid, did you get an allowance? Was it based on completing chores? What did you spend your money on? When I was little, I got an allowance. I don’t recall what I spent it on. I’m sure that the mall and movies were involved. By high school, I was spending it [...]

Making a Habit

January 13, 2013 6 Comments

I’ve read in a lot of places that it takes 21 days to make a habit. That’s just three weeks. Not long, right? For three weeks, I’ve gotten back to meal planning. It is starting to feel like habit. Sure, there are days when I would much rather have a sweet potato burrito bowl from [...]

The Music at the Gym

January 10, 2013 12 Comments

I don’t listen to my own music at the gym. It’s too much of a process with the cords and the carrying. I’d rather just listen to what they have selected for me. Most of the time, it’s pretty normal. Taylor Swift, Maroon Five, One Direction. Sometimes, the music is amazing and I am convinced [...]

Not so long ago, I was in New Jersey for the holidays. There were cameras everywhere. When I saw the photos, I was sad. My weight was out of control and I looked like hell. It wasn’t just my body. My skin was dull and I looked exhausted. Those photos stick in my head as [...]

How do you feel centered?

January 6, 2013 15 Comments

Right now, I feel out of alignment. Off balance. Skewed. There’s some serious stuff going on behind the scenes that I’m not at liberty to discuss right now. It is weighing on me and I am, to be brutally honest, scared. As always, I’m very lucky that my husband is amazing and supportive. All day [...]

Oh, hello, 2013

January 1, 2013 15 Comments

I was going to write a post all about the highs and lows that made up 2012. (e.g., My father’s stroke, leaving private practice, my grandmother’s death, getting rid of my pesky gallbladder.) But I don’t really want to do a year-end wrap up. I’m ready to embrace 2013. I’ve got three words for 2013. [...]

Lana Fuchs If I want a monkey, I get a monkey

When I first got to Las Vegas, people told me it was a small town with an old west mentality. I didn’t really understand what that meant until I was here for a little longer. Las Vegas is a big city, with almost 2 million people in the metropolitan area, but the community still has [...]

Gallbladder Free for Two Weeks – Progress Update

December 11, 2012 5 Comments

My surgery was two weeks ago today. Here’s where I am right now. I saw my surgeon on Friday. I’m healing perfectly and don’t need to visit her again. She said that I will probably dress like a fitness hobo for a few more weeks. I’m wearing a lot of random yoga pants and baggy [...]
