I rarely eat out. When we do go out for dinner it’s a treat. I like cooking and I like eating good, healthy food which means that eating out is a special occasion, not an everyday occurrence. Now I have another reason to eat at home. Adults that cook at home spend less money on food and eat a healthier …
Not feeling the love?
Do you know your waist circumference? Regardless of your weight, your waist circumference could be sending you secret messages and they aren’t love notes. Love handles aren’t giving us any love. FYI, a man should have a waist circumference of 102 cm (40 inches) or less and a woman should be 88 cm (35 inches) or less. Surprisingly, it is …
Why I Need a Training Plan

Move for your brain and body
When I talked about fasting benefits I mentioned how eating too much effects your brain. Your brain is not separate from your body.

Fasting. Just another quick fix?
I have been thinking about this topic for weeks, I have read the positive and the negative scientific reviews (which correspond to my own view) but in the interest of a one woman science experiment. I am going to try it. Only because I said at the beginning of the year that my New Year’s resolution was to follow my …
