The 4 tips below are a gathering of snippets of conversation with the Tornado. All ideas are hers. I've transcribed as stated except for her words PUKING SUCKS which I chose, repeatedly, not include... donuts with a spoon?! intuitive. Mindful eating changed my life. Whatever you choose to call it---mindful? intuitive? theraputic?--it works for me. I've chosen not to tell the Tornado ... Continue Reading
How can you tell if you’re overexercising? (guest post)
I love me some Tamara Grand. First from afar. Next I made her my friend. Then declared her my GoToWoman for all things 40+ fitness. Please to enjoy her post as she's here by my demand gentle request. I love Carla's approach to exercise. Fitting it in around life as opposed to letting it take centre stage. Figuring out what HER body needs to stay fit and healthy. Consistently making movement ...

Hopscotch with me.
I know. I'm gonna stop & gaze lovingly at the photo above as well she types pridefully pretending the whole 'net is shocked how quickly the Tornado is growing, too. The Tornado was four and, more even than the fact I wanna eat her face off she's so little and sweet, the photo symbolizes for me the lost art of exercise as FUN. Necklace in hand. Hair flying. Chortles of joy I ... Continue Reading
Join me in exercising LESS?
SWING SET fitness! I know. I say it all the time. The thing is, until I have the world on my band wagon (world wagon?!), I'm gonna say it again and again. In this day & age when everyone admonishes us to increase the exercise! I'm here waving the "sometimes less (time) is indeed more (results)!" flag loud & proud. (A flag which is, alas, not quite as fun as my freak flag. ... Continue Reading
A long period of applause.
Mine would involve snacks served on skulls. The other night I watched as stars were interviewed on their way to the Emmys. Back in the *day* (AKA pre-Tornado) I used to camp out on the couch and watch the entire red carpet event. I snarked about the dresses. I mocked the hair-dos. I devoured each and every interview with Giuliana. I blocked off my entire evening and hung with ... Continue Reading
Night owls living in a morning person’s world (guest post).
This summer has been a lot of fun. As a family, we traveled to Ireland for two weeks. The boys and I also spent two weeks at my parents. Between that and one week of camp, there have been some great learning experiences. But we've also had several weeks of downtime. And as often happens in our house, the boys and I have reverted to our night owl states. There have been late late ... Continue Reading
Creative cardio #wycwyc style.
(Doing what I can when I can. It's not a fad--it's my life.) The question I'm most frequently asked is whether I really practice what I preach on my blog. Emails. Tweets. Comments. Facebook messages. It seems the collective you wonder if my philosophy is something to which I actually adhere. move. daily. something. #wycwyc. day in & out. year in & out. until death. It ... Continue Reading
Use your gifts.
Once upon a time the Tornado was in first grade and was assigned the teacher everyone warned us (and her) away from. You want anyone but Mr. X!! He's really tough on kids and parents. I was apprehensive but went into the whole experience with an open mind. To my surprise and delight she loved her new teacher. He led the class (and the parents) with a firm but loving hand. He was a perfect ... Continue Reading
