THE BEST:

Seizing the Moment by Dani Shapiro, Body and Soul, January 2010

My favorite part..what to say to yourself: “May I feel protected and safe, May I feel contented and pleased, May my physical body support me with strength, May my life unfold smoothly with ease”.

“Remains of the day” by Jessica Girdwain.  Great, great article on how to recycle, reduce your waste in the kitchen.  Body & Soul, January 2010.

Question for Readers…how many of you have trigger moments of the day, when you rummage the kitchen for any morsel of junk food to eat?  I’ll admit that the time between pickup and dinner is my worst time to scavenge the kitchen for food.  It may be stress, habit, or a sugar craving, but recognizing it is the first step.  Then, I read this article called “Hello, Sugar” by Erin O’Donnell (Body and Soul, Jan. 2010)  How to FIGHT off the nine-to-five snack attacks.

WORST:

{yes, I love Giada and all her recipes.  I even thought the article about her, her eating and yoga practice was great.  I chose to use this cover as an example of the quick fix- gotta be on a diet crap that annoys me).

Flatten Your Belly with These Foods (Fitness Magazine, I believe…)

Lean Body in 4 Weeks

5 Minute Workouts

Drop a Pound by Friday (Shape Magazine)

“Firmer thighs and tighter glutes” with this product (commercial)

I’m sure I’m not the only one here looking for the positive when standing in line at the grocery store.  I’m still in love with Body and Soul, Clean Eating and Real Simple magazines.  Thinking that we all agree that NOTHING can be done quickly in the name of health or fitness.  Nothing is easy and who gives a whoot if you can lose one pound by Friday- who’s going to know if you gained back two pounds between Friday and Sunday?

Can you name a cover title that you LOVE?
