So if I originally fell into vegetarianism because of a guy that I am no longer dating, why am I still? I believe full-heartedly that we cross paths with people, places, situations, for a reason- that everything is interlaced. We grow from these interactions and hopefully come out better human beings at the end of […]

In two weeks, I will be in paradise. I’ll be surrounded by lush tropical island life, clear water and absolutely no commitments (aside from, you know, a few planned naps). I even put photos of our last trip on the fridge to motivate myself to stay on my healthy target! (Like the one I’m sharing […]

I am finally back home and have never been so happy to be back. It has been a grueling trip emotionally and physically. I not only had to deal with my mother who is 95 but I also had to help two friends make life changing decisions. It began flying from L.A. to N.Y. then […]

Each muscle and joint in my body aches. For the first time in just over two years, I went back to working out with a personal trainer. About three years ago I decided that I needed something different in the realm of weight loss, so I joined Total Woman and signed up for a free […]

This week has been a bit of a mixed bag. I have had some great days and some not-so-great days in regards to my diet. I did go on a 6-mile walk and do one day’s worth of strength training, but I also ate a sizeable portion of a pizza on my own and indulged […]

Weekly weightloss update: -4 lbs (this actually represents 2 weeks since I didn’t weigh-in last week) Inches lost: Chest: 0; Waist: ½” Hips: 0; Arms: 0; Thighs: ¼” Well, I never thought the 60’s would feel so good! When I get to the point that I’m about to enter into the next 10 lb. segment […]

I have been vegetarian for about 8 years now. Most people make their way to it by realizing that their food once was able to blink and breathe. Me, however — my path to not eating meat was through a boy. A really handsome boy that I was with for 8 years. His choice was […]

Now that I am feeling better, I have so much more energy and am starting to get back on track. I have not yet really had enough energy to get off the couch and start exercising again, but that will change this week. I lost a pound, putting me back down to where I was […]
