It’s Artichoke heart season and I’m pumped. I love the little buggers. Why? Well honestly – I love dips – hummus, tzatziki, roasted red pepper, garlic sauce .. But in order to eat dips you kinda need a pita or a chip to dip it in ! And these are things I generally don’t eat! [...]

I don’t mean to be a stick in the mud but I think it’s important for someone to tell you the honest truth about losing weight. None of this 10 pounds in two weeks business! None of this eat everything you want and lose 60 pounds! It’s important to know what you’re in for when [...]

If you’ve never run before,  a 5k is a great place to start. This training schedule should get you ready for a 5k by the end of the summer! 1. Listen to your body. If your body is telling you to stop or if you feel an injury lurking. Back off. Running is great, but [...]

Proof that you do not need to know how to cook, to cook.  I did not want to prepare ANYTHING tonight! It’s been a long week of preparing and making sure I stay on track and tonight I just wanted to be served! I had defrosted Sole for dinner- so I had no choice but [...]

Here is what I had for breakfast today! 1/2 grapefruit 1/2 apple 1 kiwi 1 cup Berries 1 slice of pineapple, divided. I followed this breakfast with a snack about 2 hours later. To me this breakfast feels like a luxurious treat! Fruit is natures candy you know! It really keeps me full, provides me [...]
