You’d think that after being on this healthy lifestyle kick for almost three years now I’d have the ‘perfect’ diet down to a tee – but I am less than perfect. It’s hard finding the balance between staying low calorie but still having enough food to feel satisfied and get all the nutrients our body [...]

So I stick with my Crazy Low Calorie diet last week, I was consuming anything from 700 – 1200 per day and burning anthing from 400 – 700 through exercise.
I actually lost 2lbs.
This makes me very happy as I have not lost any wieght no matter what I have tried recently – however I am [...]

So my weight loss plan for this week is to go low calorie, and when I say low calorie I don’t mean 1400, or 1200, I mean as low as I can go.
Yesterday was day one of my plan and I consumed only 700 calories and burned 400.
Trust me, this is not something I am [...]

I have just spent a lot of time on a website that aims to teach How Wheat Works in a fun and informative way – the site is created and run by the Wheat Foods Council and I think it’s a great idea. Educating people in the benefits of eating whole food but in way [...]

So Christmas came and went and I gained a pound, that’s all, I can deal with gaining a pound. I certainly enjoyed my food and drink over the last few weeks allowing myself many treats and even an alcoholic drink – it’s the first Christmas in three years that I’ve just gone for it and [...]

Not something I thought I would ever say just a few years ago before I started to get healthy – I was strictly a white bread/rice kinda girl! Now I can’t get enough whole wheat stuff and the processed stuff makes me turn my nose up!
How Wheat Works is a great site I came across [...]

I know that The Biggest Loser has always done product placement, but is it just me or have they really ramped it up this season? It seems like there’s a ‘Trainer Tip’ (read: vaguely hidden plug) at the start of every section – not to mention all the “Hey everyone let’s go to Subway and [...]

I’ve not been updating this blog much lately have I? Truth is there’s not a lot going on – I’ve lost another few pounds but things are moving ever so slowly the last few months.
Just yesterday I started weight training so I will update and let you know how that works out.
I was trying [...]

Here’s something I learned today – always double check labels, just because something is ‘OK’ in one brand doesn’t mean it will be in another.
I eat pickled onions (6 to be exact) every day with my sandwich. A few days ago my fiance ate one and commented on how salty they were – I told [...]

You know, people assume that because I am a healthy eating nerd these days it would be a bad idea to buy me chocolate gift baskets or other food related items as gifts – wrong! I would never buy something like that for myself so getting it as a gift once a blue moon really [...]
