#11 Review – 52 Foods in 52 I don’t know why I never noticed these berries before this season. We’ve been living in our home for a couple of summers, but for some reason, I never really paid attention! Anyway, a few weeks ago, I saw a few branches of green berries. I tried googling, [...]

Happy One Year Anniversary
“God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it’s me.” One year ago today on July 20th 2009, my friend Mae posted those words of wisdom to her Facebook profile and it changed my life! From that moment, it [...]
Couch To 5K (C25K)
Well, I semi-started the Couch to 5K program this morning. I was inspired by my sister-in-law who has been walking/jogging; since we have a planned camping trip next month together, I thought it was a good incentive for me to get going too, so I can keep up with her if we decide to jog [...]

Can’t Solve Problems With Food
I just read this on the myfitnesspal.com discussion forum: When you try to solve your problems with food, not only do you not solve your problem, you create another problem. It makes total sense!

Her words hit me like a ton of bricks: Looking back, Kathrine says her biggest mistake was not losing the [...]
The Biggest Loser on FLN (Fine Living Network)
I finished watching (Fine Living Network) FLN’s rebroadcast of season 7 of the Biggest Loser. It’s been on every weekday morning at 8am and I have a ritual with my two doggies, to stay in bed, have a little breakfast, play on the computer, and watch the Biggest Loser before I head to work. I [...]
The Biggest Loser Simple Swaps – Book Review
When I first heard about the book, The Biggest Loser Simple Swaps: 100 Easy Changes to Start Living a Healthier Lifestyle, I assumed from the title, that it was mainly about food swaps. Use olive oil instead of butter, or instead of eating a fatty donut, try whole wheat toast. Similar to the “Eat This, [...]
Eating Most of My Calories
Most days, I try to stay 150 – 250 under my total daily calories. Just to give myself some wiggle room, since I am at a higher calorie count, due to lower weight loss goal. But this morning I found a new podcast to listen to on healthy weight loss, called Fat 2 Fit Radio [...]
Cynthia Kereluk Everyday Workout
I have been trying to concentrate more on aerobics lately. I have been watching a couple of cable OnDemand aerobics shows but I also found all of my old fitness VHS tapes and have been converting to DVD. So I made a couple of DVDs containing some shows from Cynthia Kereluk Everyday Workout (originally on [...]
