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 [...]

Since my unplanned detox weekend at The Farm last week, I have gone kinda vegetarian. Sorta, I guess. I may not be very rigid about it, but I have veered away from meat (including chicken and fish!) since then. This was admittedly unintentional and I never really considered going vegetarian (much less raw or vegan [...]

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!!!

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 [...]

With one day left to my challenge, I met the goal! 30 mat practices (in class and on my own, that is!) on or before 30 days WOOT. It was nice to end the challenge with a Talikwas soft belly yoga workshop with Lucia Misa, author of the recently launched book Yoga in the Wild. [...]

  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 [...]
