Healthy Veggie Lasagne

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 […]

Lift With Your Legs

This weekend will be spent doing the one thing people from all walks of life dread. We’re…moving. Change is good, especially when it’s an upgrade but YECH all the packing. How do we amass such an array of crap? I found W-2’s from 1995. Seriously? The last time we moved, I spent a full week limping and […]

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 […]

When Sickness Gets You

Sometimes you are forced to start a better routine, and it’s not necessarily due to your healthy resolutions! I was at the doctors this week, and that’s it: no more junk. I think it’s easier to do this when a doctor tells you to. . . I’ve got some blood pressure-y stuff going on […]

Midnight Snacks

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 […]

A New Dawn, A New Day

Having just completed my first week as a work at home mom, I have come to a couple of conclusions. I may well never eat a meal by myself again and trying to work while managing a toddler is EXHAUSTING. Besides all that, I’m loving it. My son wants whatever I have on my plate. Even if […]

Free At Last

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? […]

Count Your Calories Online For Free With FitWatch

I’m really not the kind of person who is obsessed with how many calories she’s eating. Maybe that’s my problem, LOL. Well, sometimes I look at a food label and decide, “oh ok, this muffin is 500 calories, I’ll only eat half”. But like I said, I don’t pay attention to it that much. I […]

Programs Expanded To Combat Childhood Obesity

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. […]
