📖 A much needed rest day on a planned strength training gym day.

👙🩱🩳 As much as bathing suit weather begins with the approaching holiday weekend, this is a gentle reminder that if you take an unplanned rest day from your normal workout, I promise, you will not look any different then you did yesterday in your bathing suit this weekend.

Wishing all of you a restful and wonderful holiday weekend and time to recharge from the heat wave that hit our country this week 🥵🇺🇸🥵

🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏼‍♂️🧘🏿 Balance and flexibility in your later years are imperative to your health and well-being.

As a physically active woman since I was a teenager, the kind of body movement I do has changed significantly over the years.

I taught aerobics in college, I was a runner in my 30’s who fell and had to have knee surgery, I was in a car accident which has taken pickle-ball out of my life and reduced my hiking days, plus my ability to use the stairmaster ever again at the gym.

🧘🏻‍♀️ Yoga, which I’ve done in the past, has now become a significant part of this new journey for me.

This is a gentle reminder that pushing yourself through injuries to do any form of body movement will likely incur more damage than good.

Learning to adapt as we age is part of being human. So check in with yourself and ask yourself why you’re doing the exercise you’re doing?

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day 🌷

An important message to those moms with daughters👩‍❤️‍👩

👩‍❤️‍👩 As a role model, it is of the utmost importance that you obtain a normal relationship with your own body to send a strong message that you’re ok no matter what size or shape you’re in.

👩‍❤️‍👩 Body shaming yourself and saying awful things about your size or weight will trickle down, believe me.

👩‍❤️‍👩 Please teach your daughters that they are more than the number on a scale…

👩‍❤️‍👩 Please prioritize your daughters resilience, intelligence, and self worth that have nothing to do with how she looks…

👩‍❤️‍👩 Please educate her on how the advertising world (including social media) will make her feel not good enough. That’s how they make money…

👩‍❤️‍👩 These pictures are of me and my mom (who I lost last year and would do anything to have another day with her) and me and my daughter. If you are lucky enough to be with your mom tomorrow: be present and don’t make it about your body 👩‍❤️‍👩

Opera Yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️

Body movement doesn’t always need to burn calories or add up to 10,000 steps…

👙🩱🩳 A quick reminder for those of you killing yourselves to get a “better bod” to wear your bathing suit this summer…

No one gives a 💩 what you look like in your bathing suit or is looking at you unless you show up wearing what I’m wearing in this picture 🤣

No one on the beach knows your “before or after” pictures so stop scrolling through your photos from 10 years ago thinking that you’re going to look like that again ….newsflash you’re not gonna look like that anymore and that’s okay.

Remember one of my favorite Debisms, “Confidence is sexier than a size zero”. So put that bathing suit on with your head held high and enjoy the sunshine and the sound of the waves hitting the beach!! With the weather being as wonky as it’s been- you can’t take these beach days for granted 🏝️

Time to spend your FSA account by year end or lose it ☹️
(Covers medical benefits which I am a provider of ✔️)

As the year comes to an end, (I know how busy everybody is with year end productivity and holiday planning), I wanna remind you that if you don’t use your FSA account, you’re going to lose that money 🫠

What’s a great way to use that leftover money 🤔 take care of your health and well-being by scheduling an appointment either in person (in my Commack office/ NY) or virtually with ME a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist!!

I still have openings available in December and can see patients via telehealth in:

* Arizona
* California
* Colorado
* New York (in person too😊)
* Virginia

✔️ Looking forward to helping you make permanent change WITHOUT an injectable or guiding those of you ON THEM who need to maintain and/or make permanent changes to food, weight or body image.

Beginning this Thursday 🦃 with the beginning of the holiday season, most people who live with a “diet mentality” mindset will be turning that “off”

The day will likely begin by “restricting” their intake to prepare for a night of overeating. (most with this mindset will not be counting macros or points and will indulge to their bodies full capacity).

For the last few weeks, I have been guiding my patients on how NOT to do this. Instead I have guided them how to “balance” not just their festive holiday meal, but the entire day.

31 years ago I was invited to go on “Good Day New York” on Thanksgiving Day 🦃 to discuss:
How to prevent overeating for the Holidays and to remember what to be thankful for; that I’m sure many of you overlook:

🦃 The people who surround you (many this year will be alone).

🦃 The warm home you are in (some can’t afford heat).

🦃 The bountiful food present (many will go hungry this holiday season).

Happy Thanksgiving folks-
be grateful, I know I am 🦃

An inspirational note to those of you struggling with an eating disorder and stuck at home or in an airport because of flight delays on a holiday weekend due to bad weather:

I’m proud of you💚💙💚:

* For trying a fear food

* For giving yourself permission to BEGIN to eat when you are physically hungry

* For taking a rest day on a day you planned on exercising

* For not using exercise, binging, purging or restricting as a compensatory behavior for eating something that’s not your usual choice.

* For showing up in THAT outfit to the party you didn’t want to go to because you’re having a bad body image day and the weather wasn’t cooperating with your original outfit you chose.

* For accepting your body for more than what it looks like.

* For getting your ass up and continuing to walk forward on that wobbly bridge towards recovery even though you didn’t want to.
