The past weekend gave me a chance to do a little bit of  a detox. Unintentionally, I might say, but a detox nonetheless. I have never really planned on going vegetarian or doing the whole raw food thing or even changing what I eat drastically (well, except for the amount of it!) but I suddenly [...]

Have you ever heard of a bogner alchemist guitar head? Or something like that???  Hehe. I suck at the whole music thing but over the past few days I have been discovering how music can play such an integral role in making weight loss more fun. I was watching a few of my friends jam [...]

Over the past few months, as some of you may have noticed, I seem to have lost my footing in this whole blogging about my weight loss thing. In the beginning, I really made sure to invest in a good webhosting package in order to force myself to stay focused on my goals of losing [...]

I recently got a new yoga mat and it is LOOOOVE It’s the same color as my old mat, but finally, I got myself one of those “real” mats. It’s a Jade and I love it to bits. It’s nice and cushion-y, but not too heavy. I also like how I don’t slip in it, [...]

Just recently I got to thinking, what if I could do my college life all over again? Would I be in a better off place than I am now? Would I be facing the same struggles or totally different ones? While I do not regret my choices (at least for the most part), sometimes I [...]

I have always maintained that I’m an emotional eater. For a while, I was able to keep that at bay, but since mid-September, it has been a struggle. Luckily my love for yoga has allowed the weight management to be somewhat stable, but still, with this emo eater in me, it’s gotten to be such [...]

As many of you may know, my most favorite form of exercise nowadays is yoga. Most of the time I practice in a quiet room, with only my breath and the voice of my teacher as the music that guides me. However, sometime ago I attended several classes wherein the teachers played music for us [...]

After three weeks of searching, I finally found one of the most elusive vegetables ever…RED BEETS!!! Okay, exag, I’m sure, but for some reason, I’ve been having a hard time finding them. Sometimes when I ask in the grocery they have no idea what I’m talking about. Yesterday, however, on a random grocery run, I [...]

A few weeks ago, after a yoga workshop, my friends and I swung by the organic market at Legaspi village and though I am not (or at least I was not!) a big fan of green smoothies, I went along and ordered a big bottle of green juice from RAWlicious. Since it was my first [...]
