Goood afternon! Happy Hump Day! I actually forgot it’s Hump Day…I’m totally thrown off this week. I got a little bored on Monday and decided to start a new project. (I can’t leave well enough alone, it’s a fact.) Well, it’s actually more like a business, because I now I have “interns.” It’s taking Shedding [...]

Meatless Monday: Lentil and Sweet Potato Soup

February 22, 2010

Yesterday at the grocery store, my impulse buy was a bag of lentils. I mean, for $2, it wasn’t a bad impulse to follow. Lentils are something I’d been wanting to add to my cooking repertoire…they are very cheap and very healthy. I always thought they were difficult to prepare, but they are actually easier [...]

This morning I was up early and hungry. I was planning to get up and go straight to the lab to have my cholesterol and blood sugar tested for Go Red month, but when I woke up, I was snowed in! Um, what the hell? Yesterday it was warm, sunny, and the roads were clear [...]

You know I’ve been all over Go Red month and a few weeks ago did a post on cholesterol for Blog Your Heart Out. Because BYHO is a joint effort between the American Heart Association and Fitbook — which I also wrote about this month because I’m absolutely in love with mine — Fitlosophy is [...]

The Gym Break-Up Is Turning Into a Home Gym Orgy

February 20, 2010

I’m beginning to feel like that girl who got to college, broke up with her high school boyfriend who was saving it for marriage, and went buckwild with an entire Beta pledge class.
