Yes, I’m still around! February was a CRAZY busy month for me between the radio show fundraiser, the Food Matters MB conference, going out to the theatre a few times, celebrating Mr. Science’s birthday… I rather stopped tracking my food for the latter half of the month, but now I’m back to it. And March [...]
I’ve been tracking my food in my day planner but not on this blog – oops! Also, my parents took me out for champagne cocktails on Friday night, which was very sweet of them but that on top of the wine was a little too much for this teetotaler. So I compensated for my slight [...]

I had my free day yesterday but I kinda overdid it (as per usual) with the popcorn and chocolate and bread. I had lots of energy in the morning but after I’d eaten some of this and some of that, my energy levels plummeted and I wasn’t very productive at all. The key to free [...]
7am 1 green shake (150) plus a slice of homemade multigrain bread with all-natural chunky PB and honey (200). Not the most detox-y of breakfasts, but it was really tasty! 7:20am Another small slice of bread with PB and honey (150). Yum. Apparently going to the gym two nights in a row when I hadn’t [...]
Last night I hosted a lovely wine and cheese. It was delicious! Here is what we had (for 5 people), between what I already had and what other people brought: – Plenty of wine (it seemed everyone brought a bottle or two, and I had picked up three bottles ahead of time. Needless to say [...]
Today I started doing Week Three (again) of the 100 Push Ups Challenge when Mr. Science wandered past and informed me that I wasn’t going low enough in the push up. It turns out that I can’t do nearly as many push ups as I thought. This is why we should always exercise in frotn [...]
French toast does not have to be unhealthy and calorific. Usually people use white bread, lots of fat to cook it in, and they douse it in piles of maple syrup. Here’s a great recipe which is certainly not unhealthy – you get whole grains, protein and healthy fats from the eggs, protein and calcium [...]
