I mentioned in a recent blog post that I wanted to lose weight. I asked if people would be interested in a review of a Keto-Veganish diet or the Whole30, two very popular diets right now. The idea here was that I would try one of these diets and report back to you with my […]

I woke up today at 6:30 am to head into Barry’s Bootcamp to take a class before teaching mine. I was exhausted and did not want to get up, but today is a very super important and crazy day – I’m leaving for my 10 day European vacation. I will be instagraming and on other […]

Oh how I love Trader Joe’s. I stopped by the itty bitty store on Boylston Street yesterday was ecstatic to see that finally canned pumpkin was on shelves for the Fall! To celebrate, I thought I’d share with you a mini haul featuring some of my new favorite products and a couple that I can’t […]

Catchy title right? Author JJ Virgin explains how dropping 7 foods can help you lose 7 lbs in just 7 days in her new diet book, The Virgin Diet.

For some reason, cafes only seem to carry artificial sugar, regular sugar, soy milk and regular milk varieties. What’s up with the stevia and dairy-free, soy-free milk alternative hate? Whole […]

Yesterday, I did not feel like blogging. I had a disappointment hangover from a certain even that played out on National television from Indianapolis. Moving forward… I used Random.org to select a winner last night for the Polar FT60 Heart Rate Monitor. Congrats to Brittany for winning! I was so happy to see all positive […]

Since my diet plan calls for eating small meals 5 times a day, I really look forward to eat meal and making it delicious.  Grocery shopping is something I love to do, and perusing the isles is time well spent.  I put a lot of time and effort into some of my favorite mini meals. […]
