Good morning! I hope everyone is having a great week.

I will hopefully be able to post the clip soon. –… Continue reading Biggest Loser Review, and Dinner #1!
Post Exercise Meals/Snacks
Thanks for all of your fantastic comments on my last post. It’s true, anyone on a 1250 calorie diet should be able to lose weight. I mean, that’s pretty much the lowest amount of calories you could take in, without being nutritionally depleted. It was smart of Taco Bell to take credit for Christine’s weight loss, even though we… Continue reading Post Exercise Meals/Snacks
Holiday Weight Managment, and a Coffee/Tea/Caffeine Update
Earlier in the year I confessed to drinking about 600-800 mg caffeine per day. My goal was to cut this in half, and so far, so good. As of now I am consuming around 300-400 mg caffeine per day, which is a huge improvement.

Breakfast of Champs and Time Management Strategies for Living Healthier
Thanks for all of your comments about labels on my last post! I asked for your opinions as to some other changes that may be necessary, and I found that many of you agreed there should be nutrition facts on alcoholic beverages. I couldn’t agree more! I really don’t understand why they aren’t there in the first place,… Continue reading Breakfast of Champs and Time Management Strategies for Living Healthier

On Monday night Nick and I listened to Christmas music, drank hot cocoa, and put up our fake tree. Yeah, you read that correctly, FAKE!

Food EEEEEK! Review
Nick and I watched Food Inc. on Thanksgiving (after we ate our meals). Like we expected, the movie was fantastic and it really put things into perspective. Was it a good perspective? Not so much, but boy am I glad we watched it. What’s scarier? THISOR THIS?Don’t answer that please. After watching Food Inc., my vote would… Continue reading Food EEEEEK! Review
The Low FODMAPs Diet and Biggest Loser Review
I know it might sound crazy, but Monday, November 16th, 2009 was my FIRST experience eating a pomegranate. I automatically assumed I wouldn’t like it because it was “seedy”, you know? But just look at it: Not only are they delicious, but they are beautiful. I already knew that, but boy am I glad I discovered… Continue reading The Low FODMAPs Diet and Biggest Loser Review
