Before I even crossed the halfway mark with my current 30-day challenge (the no-rice for 30 day challenge, that is) , I found a new challenge I want to take on for the next 30 days: Cheshire Que’s My Spa Diet. Before I explain that, let me give you a quick background of my 30-day [...]

Tomorrow is definitely one of those rare Saturdays I will look forward to Given that I work on Saturdays more often than not (yes, I’m corny that way harhar…but what can I do, clinical work beckons, right?), my weekends aren’t always super fun but tomorrow is gonna be a yoga-rrific day for sure!!! First of [...]

I am borrowing my friend Jeff’s hirit about Phiten in this blog posts title because, well, it’s just so fitting, right? Sometime ago I was invited to the press briefing of the brand Phiten where company reaffirmed it’s commitment to health and fitness. While I don’t attend many blogger events anymore,  I really made it [...]

They say health is wealth. I so agree. That’s actually why I went on this weight loss journey, right? However, sometimes it frustrates me that no matter how much I try to keep healthy, there are still days when my PCOS kinda gets in the way. I am grateful that because of the weight loss [...]

  I soooo love yoga. I really, really do. There are not enough words to express how much I have fallen in love with this wonderfully, beautiful practice. I never imagined how much something so seemingly external could have such a great internal impact on me. I mean, I’ve done all sorts of exercises before, [...]

Sigh. Day number two and my world is still spinning. Seriously spinning. It kinda feels like I went round and round in a playground merry-go-round and suddenly stopped. Remember that feeling? Yes, that’s how it feels. This morning when I opened my eyes I had to shut it quickly because of how fast the spinning [...]

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 [...]

A few days ago I finally had to cut my hair. Well, trim it by three and a half inches, to be exact. I’m not to ready to go short again. However, I finally had to concede and cut my hair because it was falling like mad. Apparently, at times, weight loss can cause hair [...]
