I have a long-time client – let’s call her Liza – who works for a big entertainment company. The other day she complained about how challenging it is to manage the deluge of emails that flood her BlackBerry every day. “You can’t read every line, you’d never get through all your mail; so you end up scanning for key words. In fact, my boss refuses to read anything constructed in complete...
I’ve been running now for three years and half years.
At times its hard to believe its been that long. It doesn’t seem like that long ago I hated running. I loathed it. I remember track in high school. Anything longer than the 800, and I’d “ditch”. Long distance wasn’t my thing. Even with the 800 I experienced exercise induced asthma, but back then I didn’t even know that’s what it...

While being thin is probably good for us, and being overweight is unhealthy, the main issue is that the fashion ideal often promotes a too-skinny look, so thin that it becomes unattainable for most women, and if we try to attain that look, we risk developing eating disorders.
BMI, or body mass index, is still the best way we have...

We may be moving faster through our day, but our body is...
In college I hated running. I’d skip my fitness class when we had to run the mile. I couldn’t run a mile without being completely out of breath. Now I’m running 26.2 of them.
Not to mention I’m preparing for one of the most prestigious marathons – the Boston Marathon.
As I’ve mentioned before, I like to
