M.I.A.

Good Morning, Loyal Readers!

There is nothing worse than checking a blog week after week and finding no new posting. This has been a packed month for me, but I hope I’ve been out growing my brain to share many new ideas about weight loss and cravings and life balance (oh my!).

In early March, I spent 2 days down in Tampa at the Nutrition, Physical Activity and Metabolism Conference. It felt like 2 years of graduate school packed into 48 hours, minus the coffee addiction and poor sleeping habits that I acquired then. I learned SO much about the latest research in nutrition & weight loss, and I hope my frantic scribbling of all the information will do it justice when I try to distill in to useful bits for you.

I’ve also been touring around my little city, doing numerous workshops on Weight Loss 101 and Emotional Eating. It never fails to surprise me no matter where or whom I am teaching, that the challenges for weight loss are quite universal. Yet, there is always at least one, brand new never asked before question. The more often I say “I don’t know”, the more work I know there is to do in this field and that excites me, for what I hope I can find and translate to you.

I also learned something important about myself… I NEED to write. I started this blog as a place to share my ideas and experiences with each of you, but I realized, with nearly a month’s hiatus, that this writing is just as much for me. When I’m coaching my clients, I always encourage them to build time into their day for the small things that do nothing but nourish them. When we lack that emotional nourishment, we often turn to food to fill the void. It’s a wonder to me at that after years of educating myself and others about weight loss, I am still my own best student.

I am back, with much to share with you. Hope you will continue this journey with me, and welcome to all my new readers who I have met in the last month at the conference and my workshops!
