LifeCode for Health, Mind, and Body
I like to think that I am on a continual journey of learning.
I like to try new things - and I like to share! Here are some of my latest discoveries.
| Favorite TV Show |
My favorite TV shows are Bones, House, Lie to Me, Fringe, and Grey's Anatomy. I download them all from iTunes since I'm never home to watch them when they're on.

| Favorite Gadgets |
What's so great about this pen called the Pulse pen by Livescribe? Well, it's like
the iPhone...once you get it, you wonder how you got along without it! You
can visit the LiveScribe site for more information, or see my blog!
My long-term favorite gadget is my iPhone! I do everything on it. I do
my email, read books, listen to audio books, watch movies,
text message, and surf the web! Because it works so well, I'm better at answering my email because
I can catch up on the train on the way into the office in the morning, and home at night.
If you have doggies or puppies that goof, here's the
best mop. It sucks up a lot of liquid and is very durable.

| Latest Obsession |
My latest obsession is my health. I've been running on empty for a while because I love what I do
and that's all I focus on. But it's finally taken its toll. I am relearning how to eat. No alcohol, no sugar,
no wheat or dairy, nothing processed. All foods are organic...and basically all I'm eating are vegetables, fruit,
beans, wild salmon and sardines from Vital Choice, and occasionally
organic chicken and lamb. It's taken me several
months to change my habits.
I now have my food delivered by Fresh Direct so I always have good organic food. I really
have to admit that I hate many vegetables so I blend them up in my Vitamix with some rice protein that's
flavored with stevia and I'm good. Not as good as a bar of Green and Black's dark chocolate but I'll be
eating that again as soon as I repair my gut.
I've read a lot of great books and listened to many podcasts. "Underground Wellness"
is a great free podcast on iTunes...and Clean and Revive are two great books.
The "Sugar Addicts Total Recovery Program" was good too...and boy was I ever a sugar addict! Also great was "The Diet Cure."
Vital Choice has great fresh and canned fish. Their frozen salmon fillets are so
fresh that after thawing there is no smell. |
| Favorite Workout |
I still like my step workout. I do it twice a week with an expert trainer, then on the weekend, I can do it at least once by myself. The step is for my cardiovascular system, and I love it, but I will never give up yoga! I continue to do yoga every day.

| Favorite Websites |
drugstore.com keeps adding more items. I hardly ever go to the local drugstore anymore. They have a lot of natural products that I really like, and they are always in stock.

| Great New Discovery |
When my husband and I were recently traveling in Japan, I discovered that our hotel room had the most remarkable toilet! The seat was heated and the toilet flushed automatically. But I'd seen those before. This was even more special! When I walked into the bathroom, the seat lid went up...and when I left the room, the lid went down. And even better, if my husband left the seat up, when he left the room, the seat and lid went down automatically! This automatic lid was something I'd never even imagined! I ran out to find my husband and told him "they have solved the great male problem!"

| Great New Drink! |
Since I'm supposed to be intolerant of grapes and sulfites at the moment I've switched to Sake...but it's a new kind of sake! It's called STARS by Kizakura and it's a sweet "sparkling" sake. Another brand that is a bit less sweet and more "beer like" is Zipang by Gekkeikan. My guy friends prefer this one!
