I -used- to be her.. then I figured out that he wasn’t a moron. I’m down to 1 cup of coffee a day, drink water, cut my portions down to 1/4 of what I used to eat.. and walk/run 30 minutes/day. I’ve lost 40 lbs. (and BTW: Veggies are yummy, they just don’t have as good a marketing dept as…

Daily Blahg
I think I have problems daily bogging here because I have so much to say and so many topics to talk about that I’m just stumped about where to start. I’m not a nutritianist or a doctor so I hate to start posting health facts that someone else might see and take as gospel.. but still.. I’m reading things that…
Soup Soup Soup
I haz a plan. A Soup Plan. I hate that part where you get to the middle of the week and you can’t think of what to make for dinner.. or you get to that lunch where you just don’t have any leftovers from dinner the night before so you end up buying something out like pizza.. or ugh.. just…
Naturally grown food is a luxury
This morning I read the following: “Cheap food – once again – has turned properly made food into a luxury… to the point where people don’t even want to address issues of quality.” – A black girl’s guide to weight loss This struck a chord with me and put a finger directly on the thing which has been bugging me…
Flaxseed, Bee Pollen and Fairy Dust
I hereby reserve the right to change my mind at any point whether that’s in the next 10 minutes or the next 10 years. That said.. the suggestion that I should sprinkle my morning oatmeal (which I don’t eat) with flaxseed and bee pollen was initially greeted with a “Yeah, right. F’king hippies”. Upon further reflection and reading I’ve changed…
The magic pill
Last night I watched Dr. Who. It was an episode where an alien nanny decended on Earth and sold a magical pill that caused people to lose 1 pound a day of “unneeded” fat. It turns out that the fat was actually splitting off of the person and running back to the alien nanny. I would totally take that pill.…
The quick downhill slide
Last night I had a headache. I’d had the headache for most of the day. I think it’s a combination of a side effect of the eyedrops my eye Doctor prescribed.. and a bit left over from getting carsick on the way into work. Anyway I had the headache for most of the day and just felt drained. When I…
Like a Peach
How sad is it that I’m 38 years old and have just realized what “they” meant when they said “bruise like a peach”? I mean, I get it.. bruises easily. In fact I’ve said that about myself.. but honestly I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a peach and noticed that it in fact bruised easily. Score one for Healthy Living.…
Fruit and Veggie PR
Somewhere along the line veggies and fruits got a bad rap. I don’t remember when it happened and it’s kind of insidious. But from childhood on up I’ve been told “veggies taste bad but they’re good for you so you should eat them” and “fruits are kind of bland.. and you really don’t want to eat them.. but they’re good…
The Case Against Soda
Aspartame kills your brain. 😐
