I love blogging in this site. I really do. I love being able to inspire people to try on becoming a healthier person. I appreciate the letters sent my way and knowing I make a difference. I want to offer a disclaimer, though I am not a nutritionist. I really don’t know what works or [...]

It’s been about a month and a half since I had the pleasure of spending a wonderful weekend at The Farm at San Benito. It was a weekend filled with a whole lot of yoga on the mat and in the AntiGravity Yoga hammock, good food, wonderful conversations, amazing friends, and me time….how lucky can [...]

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 [...]

Over and over I am learning that weight loss really is more than just dropping the pounds. It really entails a whole re-education of one’s lifestyle, habits and understanding of the self. This realization came to me the other day when I met up with an old friend of mine, who happens to be a [...]

I have said this time and again: I would probably not survive life in a country where there is winter. Seriously. I do not think my body can accommodate such extreme temperature.

I was so flattered to receive an email from a writer from the US about a week ago saying she had come across my blog and that she wanted to interview me for a piece she was writing on emotional overeating. It was funny that here email came to me right after a week of [...]

In the spirit of decluttering my life (yes, this is my way of dealing with stress since I’m trying to avoid emotional eating haha), I went through my desktop’s files and deleted a whole bunch of duplicate photos, music files I don’t need and documents that, well, are no longer important. I came across that [...]

Today I realized it’s been such a long time since I put on my heels and made up my face. No, it’s not that I let myself get frumpy and not nice looking again but well, I’ve learned to love my yoga pants and tops a little too much haha. That was like 30 whole [...]

Today was a cheat day. But….to be fair, I realized I am learning how to eat in moderation. Yey me. Granted that on occasion I still feel the urge to binge, I am more aware of it now. For example, today I opened a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos and guess what….. I didn’t finish [...]
