Have you ever had one? Come on, let me see those hands! Well, this was a topic raised at a recent WeightWatchers meeting I attended and I thought it was worth bringing up.
With BBQs in full swing it’s hard to not get carried away with the festivities of the summer and get off track with [...]

I was having a conversation with a couple of my favourite workout buddies at the gym the other day and we all agreed that summer is a REALLY tough time to stick to diet plans. Working out – not a problem – the motivation to keep the bikini body combined with beautiful days for [...]

Is anyone watching playoff hockey? I’m not a huge follower of hockey but there have been some exciting games. Somehow with hockey on TV it feels like I should be having beer and wings. They just seem to go together don’t they? It’s like peanut butter and jam or macaroni and cheese. However, beer and [...]

I think the answer is pretty straight forward – to fuel our bodies. Right?
Yeah, but it’s not that simple. Right?
For me, at least, that’s right.

This is an issue that hasn’t been a big problem for me – probably because I’m eating on the run half the [...]

Some time last fall J developed a rash on her cheeks that just wouldn’t go away. Finally in May I went to see a naturopath (not the one who gave me the Crazy Diet!). She specializes in pediatric naturopathy as well and pre- and post-partum women, (she was perfect – I’d definitely go back and [...]

When I got the list for the crazy diet five years ago, I didn’t know how I was going to manage. The list was long and was of all the things I wasn’t allowed to eat.
Yeah right.
The list was so overwhelming that at first I thought I was going to cry. And spend [...]

Yup, I’m still here. I’ve been meaning to post for ages, but, well, life as a Mommy sometimes takes over everything! Add a sick toddler and Christmas in there and that pretty much takes care of any spare moments I might have had to think about maybe blogging!
Since my last post I’ve been busy. I [...]
