Parents often struggle with packing lunches and working and getting their children to school, as well as any extra curricular and planned after school programs. Making sure your kids eat enough throughout the day can be tough. Healthy choices and proper management while keeping everyone happy can be a challenge at times, especially if one or more of the children or family members has a disability, medical condition, or food allergy. Septembers Workshop is geared toward healthy food options, food preparation, getting the children involved, and how to talk to your kids about food relationships. Each family is a unique dynamic, and customizable strategies will sustain your nutritional needs throughout the school year and beyond.

My Winter Workshop Series begins this month for Back To School!

This series runs from September to March, and each month is a different discussion topic.

Join the conversation, which will be held at the Latrobe Park Recreational Center in Locust Point – 1627 East Fort Avenue, Baltimore MD 21230.

We will discuss everything you think you know about dieting and weight.

This Workshop is designed to lift the stigma of dieting and how it affects you.

I expect everyone’s summer has been everything you wished it to be, hopefully more.

I’ve been a bit quiet here, not because of anything that was negative. I’ve just had a lot going on – good stuff – that I dove into. And I promise you I thought of you often. I have been busy working on a few projects that are going to make me a better coach, all of which are exciting and motivating. I am working very hard for my future, and that means I am working very hard for your future. But I am not quite ready to make my public announcements – some things you’ll just have to wait and learn with the rest of ’em.

I also took some time for myself this summer and practiced self-care. I relaxed a bit, and had some beautiful and lazy days – not guilting myself or pushing myself to keep a strict schedule. I exercised outside instead of indoors (unless it was 100 degrees!) I made some new friends. I learned new recipes, and did a few of my favorite things. I took a few classes, and I volunteered at some events.

I re-connected with a group of people that I haven’t seen in probably 20 years. At first I was shy, and stood on the side and observed. I was the one who had gone off from the group. I had to figure out if anyone was upset with me, and I had to figure out what had changed (not much did!). I enjoyed how each person grew, and also how the group dynamic grew and strengthened. I had to figure out if I still fit in. I felt shame, guilt, fear, and even disconnected. But thankfully all of those feelings went away quickly. No one judged me for anything I did, I came to cherish the life I created and lived without them because that was what I was meant to do, and my feelings all seem silly now because these were my closest friends that I grew up with, and when they saw me – they only expressed love for me and joy to be with me. I have been hanging out with them a lot. It feels to good to remember your roots, and then KNOW that they are good roots. I feel lucky to have had this experience, and I will do whatever it takes to make sure these friendships stay strong.

So suffice it to say as summer is wrapping up I am feeling like life is good – Very Good. I found a nice balance that makes me happy – balance that I plan to nurture. And I am confident that all the changes I am planning for are going to be Amazing. This is where you should cheer and get excited because that means you get to reap the benefits – I can’t wait to share my gifts with you all.

Thank You for your continued support, and I look forward to growing with you. ~Lisa
