How was yesterday's challenge for all of you? I found it to be much more challenging than Day Two was! Much as I love what lunges can do for the body, they do not make the list of the top 10 exercises that I enjoy the most. They can be…
Now that everyone is getting all worked up over the state of the economy, it seems as though we're much more willing to pay attention to things that we weren't concerned about before. For example, the costs of food waste. Really tells you where our priorities lie, doesn't it? Rather…
We're looking at abs and a little cardio today, seeing as yesterday was mainly arms and legs. I'll try to make sure that the workouts will balance out so that we won't be doing 100 push ups one day and 100 shoulder presses the next- arms might turn to jelly…
Boot camp finished the Friday before last for me- and this time (unlike back in the summer months, when I took my first hiatus from boot camp), I did not freak out. Instead I have been enjoying a week of doing virtually no exercise, which frankly is starting to get…
When I go out to eat with friends, there's about three suggestions that I nearly always make for what we should eat: sushi, curry, or sandwiches. Or cake (alright, that's four. Math was never my strong point). However, most people that I know either don't like sushi so we don't…
For my final research project in my Investigative Journalism class, we had to research, investigate, and write a piece on any topic of our choice (my topic was misleading nutrition claims on food products, which I will talk more about another day). One of my classmates pitched her story to…
It has been a month since our last poll, and the results are in! The question: How does justifying your food choices affect you? The results: I often feel the need to justify what I'm eating and it makes me feel bad 42% Sometimes I'll explain why I'm eating a…
I've been tagged again- thanks CP! This time we've got a music meme:Music to cry to: Viva la Vida by Coldplay. No joke, every time I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes. One day I was driving home from boot camp and this song came on the…
I know I've already written quite a bit about cookie dough, but I have one last thing to say about it, and then I'll be done!The cookie dough is gone. The batch that was made on Saturday and put in the fridge to "nibble" on- gone! I'd like to be…
I think I ate my own body weight in cookie dough this weekend. Oof. Thank goodness for pajama pants.Yesterday I filed a police report about my wallet, and I don't expect it will turn up but at least I feel like I've done everything I could do for it. The…
