If meat could talk, it would probably ask me this. I swear. Teehee. I’m a few days shy of two months since my transition to vegetarianism (minus the four meals I had before totally committing to my new lifestyle) and many times since then, I have been asked “don’t you miss it?”. Hmmm…. I never [...]

This came in the mail for me today. Several boxes, in fact As I have said many times over in this blog, I’m such a cheapskate I rarely buy stuff to try unless I’m sure it will work. Once I know it’s worth it, however, I don’t mind spending. Hehe.  And  so I’m really grateful [...]

In the past few months, sports buffs, yoga enthusiasts, and gym rats have quickly gone nuts for coconuts. Coconut water, that is. It is one of the latest and fastest fads in the health beverage industry and even celebrities have been seen touting little packs of coconut water. Dubbed as the world’s best sports drink, [...]

February ushered in a new phase in my whole “getting my  life back on the healthy track” journey. I have long given up on simply dropping the weight and finally hitting my target 130 pounds and have just decided to stop weighing myself too often and just go with a healthier approach at weight loss [...]

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.

A week or so ago, a friend of mine from yoga sent me a message about Juju cleanse. I gave the Juju cleanse site a look and I must admit, I am curious about going on a little juice detox.  However, the cheapskate in me strikes again. Let me put it in context: while I [...]

When I first started this blog, I wrote about the wheatgrass drink that I had tried.  I must admit I wasn’t super sold on the flavor of it, but the health benefits are supposedly very good so I have recently been trying to introduce it back to my diet. Ideally it would be nice to [...]

Now this seems to be a complete antithesis for me…especially since I keep hearing that if you would like to lose weight, you should avoid eating at bedtime, right? However, if sleep is always elusive (which very often is for me) I’d be willing to give it a shot. After all, even the best sleep [...]

Last week I ran into an old colleague of mine who jokingly quipped…”what are you on?!?” in reference to my weight loss. He kiddingly said if I was on any substance, maybe  I could share. We had a good laugh about it and I just said I really am working very hard at this weight [...]
