My Morning Smoothie

I received a “Magic Bullet” the other day. The gift of a publicist who would like me to review and give it away at She Knows Parties. I was excited.
The first thing I did with my new toy was to make my morning smoothie. This may sound like a silly thing, but I take […]

A Compliment from my Harshest Critic.

Dressed in yoga pants and a tee yesterday morning, my mother was walking behind me. And I heard the words I have rarely heard from her (least anyone). “Have you lost weight?” “Are you trying to lose weight?” and finally, “You have lost weight, haven’t you?”.
I went on to tell her that yes, I was […]

Healthy Yogurt, Healthy Cheese

Have you noticed the competition between the special “digestive aid” yogurts and cheese? I’m baffled. I’ve always turned to yogurt to help tummy upsets, but Activia itself has always seemed suspiciously gimmicky and when I saw that there plain yogurt had flavoring added to it, I wouldn’t touch the stuff.
However, probiotics are something that I’m […]

Real Food: Real Life

So over on Pretty By Nature I embarked on a little health experiment the other day. I put the hubs and myself on a self imposed Raw Food Detox diet. Why? Well for the obvious reasons: look better, feel better. But also I wanted to be more conscious of what I was eating. I find […]

I Lost 3 Pounds

That’s right, 3, count ‘em, 3 pounds! Now that may not seem like a lot, but to a fat chick who seems to be putting them on instead of taking them off, this is a major milestone.
How did I do it?
Most of the credit goes to our puppy, Carter. As I told you before I’m […]

Healthy Snacking.

As I have to wipe the Cheeto dust off my fingers to type this post, I realize that this does not really fit my post title of Healthy Snacking. LOL. In all honesty, my 16 year old was just putting away a bag of Cheetos when two dropped on the counter and somehow (mysteriously) they […]

What’s On My List: Plus-Size Pilates

I have been thinking about pilates, but I’m intimidated. The machines look somewhat impossible and creaky, and the classes always feel like they are packed with the most taught and toned people on the planet. But long, lean muscles? Flatter abs? A clear mind? The benefits are too tempting! I’ve been looking for ways to […]

Billy Watch Your Back

This past weekend I picked up a new workout DVD. I have been feeling pretty run down and just completely lacking in energy. One reason is I need to take my vitamins. Dexie and I must share the same Vitamin amnesia affliction. I manage to remind hubs to take his medicine every day but me; not […]

Is Your Tummie Yummie?

Mine isn’t.  Never has been.  Bad belly genes, methinks.  A couple of weeks ago, I got an email from Yummie Tummie, who makes a garment that, well, just about all of us can use at one time or another.  This is a cute top, with a secret “suck in your gut” midriff area.  The top […]

Trying out the Self Challenge - Year 3

*big sigh*
One of my dearest friends has been really into this Self Challenge for the past couple of go-rounds.  I’m sure she is going to do it this year as well, even though I haven’t heard about it yet.  I have signed up the last two years, and have just signed up for 2008.  […]
