I spoke with my TM teacher and yes it is that high and sometimes higher. I am appalled. I think I paid $80. It was a wonderful experience, one I will never ever regret, but if I had to pay that price, I would not have done it.
Anyway, there are lots of sites on meditation and its so easy, you can teach yourself for free. If I come across any good sites I will certainly send the link to you.

Welcome to Iowa Avenue. I love the fact that you want to learn how to meditate. Do you have a particular type in mind, like transcendental meditation? Thats the one I practice. I think I began when I was 19, a long time ago, it has so many health benefits. I highly recommend it.

About Me:
I never really know what to say when asked about me...

Since this is a website about healthy lifestyles I guess it is best to write about my health and weight loss issues, but I believe there is sooo much more about me than just that!!!

I am an attorney and a software developer; however, I am considering a career change in the next few years. My most favorite thing in the world is traveling, but I don't think anyone will pay me for the type of travel that I like to do, but I am working on the various possibilities.

Beyond traveling, I love watching movies and hiking. I am an avid reader and an amateur photographer. I have also discovered that I enjoy writing. I decided to use this blog platform to journal some of my experiences.
What are your goals?
I have a few... I want to learn to meditate. I want to improve my writing and photography skills. Get my eating habits under control.
Favorite Music:
Don't have a particular genre that I prefer over others... If it has a good beat and makes me want to move, I like it.
Favorite TV Shows:
I don't watch TV. I do love movies, though.
What is your current exercise routine?
I exercise 4-5 times per week. Each day includes some sort of cardio activity (hiking, eliptical, stair mill, treadclimber) and 2-3 days includes 30 minues of strength trainer with a personal trainer. I try very hard to get 5 miles a day in 5 times a week.
What diets have you tried?
Though I have read MANY diet books, I really have only practiced some form of South Beach - Atkins type diet.
But mostly I am off the wagon and eating anything that appeals to my cravings.
What things do you want to do before you die?
Visit all the continents on this planet and as many of the countries on those continents as possible.
Lose and keep off the last 40 lbs.
Find a career that I really love.
What is your favorite book?
No one favorite, but I have really enjoyed The Time Traveler's Wife and Eat Pray Love among many others

I don’t know about you, but when I eat right and exercise regularly, I feel incredibly sexy. And it only takes about a week of eating right and exercise to start feeling the effects.

Starting Week Two of the Program

Introductory week is over and Monday was the first day of practicing the program.

Here are some observations:
1.) Eating every 2-3 hours seems to really work on cutting the cravings. I have set my calendar to remind me to eat, and when it goes off, I think “Jeesh, it’s time to eat AGAIN!” I just have no time to develop the cravings.
2.) Getting back into my exercise regime has already increased my energy levels (I started the exercising last week). To the point I have a hard time getting to sle… Continue

This Rocks!!! Sautéd Veggies



My job keeps me hopping and I don’t always have time to make dinner when I get home. So every few days, when I do have time to cook, I will lightly sauté a big batch of veggies in a bit of olive oil. It is a great habit I have picked up over the past… Continue

Day 2 and 3 of the Program: Healthy Habits

In day 2 and 3 of the program, I am learning about the habits that I should incorporate in my new healthy lifestyle. So far, I am very impressed.

As to exercise, the habit should be a minimum 5 hours a week, blending resistance exercises with intensity interval focused aerobics.

The eating habits are as follows:
1) Eat every 2-3 hours. Though this will be a difficult habit to develop, I believe it is a critical that I do. My biggest problem with food is cravings while intensely hungry.… Continue
