I've mentioned my post-run yoga practice on a number of occasions, both here and on Twitter (@cldem), and a follower finally asked what some of my usual poses are for this. Amazingly, I'd never thought about posting it. I'm not sure if its because I assume everyone can magically see me doing it, or just …

I already know I'm being overzealous with my weekend goals, but after traveling for work this week, again next week, and next weekend for a weekend of fun, I don't have any choice! I need to get my butt in gear and get it all done. So here they are: - Yoga tonight before bed …
Therapy Thursday: Be Proud, it’s Not Selfish
As I've mentioned before, I've struggled for as long as I can remember with my weight. There are always at least few extra pounds on my tiny frame, consistently providing a twinge of self-doubt in the back of my mind.

Staying on Track while Traveling
In 2012, I traveled more than 25 weeks for work or fun. My workouts and nutrition we sporadically good, but often sub-par. I was consistently under a crazy amount of stress, slept an average of 5 hours a night, and, as it turns out, was in a fairly unhappy relationship on top of it all. …

Therapy Thursday: Remembering You’re Not Perfect, and That’s Okay
I've decided on Thursdays to start finding a little piece of motivational therapy. Thursdays can be tough: you're almost to the weekend, but not quite; for many it's tempo run day; and for others, its thirsty Thursday, so you probably don't need my help 🙂 I have been feeling very sick for much of the …

Healthy Recipe: Curry-Soy Lentil Veggie Stir-Fry
