After going to the doctor about my insomnia I was feeling pretty discouraged over my ability to actually make that kind of change in my life. There is just no way I can get out to the gym or go running at the end of the day. By the time the kid’s in bed and […]

I wanted to share with you guys a recipe I recently tried. I talked about it a little over at Pretty By Nature. I modified a raw veggie lasagna recipe and convinced my husband to try it. I will tell you off the bat that it contains what I would like to call “cashew cheese”. Every […]

I’m back again and so glad to be here. I spent last weekend pretending I was 22. I ate WAY too much and I won’t bore you with the gory details about the drinking. I’ve talked about it enough already. I did come away with some very obvious advice. If you are trying to loose weight […]

To say this past week has been hectic is an understatement. Our little bug was sick and I finally, FINALLY logged in my last week at my 9-5 proper desk job. Needless to say, getting in any sort of real exercise was just not going to happen. How much weight have I lost so far? […]

Childhood obesity is at an all-time high. With kids increasingly sedentary (MySpace, video games) and eating high-fat, high-carb diets, government programs such as We Can! (stands for Ways to Enhance Children’s Activity & Nutrition) are being expanded.
We Can! is a 2-year initiative that puts the majority of the responsibility on the shoulders of the parents. […]

MSNBC has a great article online right now about seven foods that may seem healthy, but actually are not. One in particular, granola bars, made me think: Do people really still consider granola as healthy?
I personally love granola, and would eat it all day if I could. But the fact is, it’s loaded with fat, […]

There’s a lot of talk these days about teaching children how to live healthily, from eating right to playing or getting regular exercise. I believe that if these habits are instilled at a young age, they’ll continue into adulthood.
When I was younger, my parents made sure we sat down and had dinner every night, and […]

There is a kind of chopped salad I get at an Italian place I like to go to here in Tennessee. After eating it a few times, I wondered if I could make it at home. It’s a fairly simple recipe that I’ve made a couple modifications to - and I think you’ll enjoy it.

When it comes to losing weight, I’ve always thought of 1200 calories as the magic number. It’s the number not to go below, so I’ve always equated it with the maximum amount of weight lost. However, this “magic number” can vary from person to person depending on activity level, weight, age, etc.
I was looking around […]
