I’m in love I’m in love I’m in love! (with boot camp). Today I was a minute or two late to my boot camp and the others had already started the warm-up jog. As I lugged my 8-lbs weights, yoga mat and water bottle across the field, I half expected the trainer to blow her [...]
It was on a whim that I signed up for a 4-week boot camp for women a few days ago. I thought to myself that it was high time I got a personal trainer-esque situation going on and learn the correct technique for all of those strength training exercises. Plus, I’ve got my half marathon [...]
Ashley was interested in learning more about this book so I figured rather than add it to the list of books that will be on an upcoming post of book reviews, Nina Planck’s book deserved its very own post. First follow the link and check out Ashley’s great blog. Then (please!) come back and read [...]
Tuesday’s bellydancing class introduced us to the technique of isolating your upper chest. I wasn’t even aware that I had a muscle right at my sternum! But it was great to discover a new muscle there and start to exercise it. As we were spinning and shaking and tip-toeing about, my instructor said to us [...]
The past couple days, for some reason my left knee was starting to bother me. It was feeling rather sore and was just irritating me to no end. After complaining about it to my mum yesterday, she sat me down, brought out her infra-red laser, and performed laser acupuncture on me. A couple hours later, [...]
Yesterday my friend unfortunately canceled on me (we’re going for lunch tomorrow instead), so I made myself some french toast for dinner. It was the first time I’d ever made french toast by myself and I was quite pleased with the result (in the past, my attempts have been rather disastrous and only been rescued [...]
I would like to take this moment to say I’m done exams! Second year university is over for me! Hurrah! and dance ecstatically. (Okay, I’m finished now. Carry on reading). The other day I made these cookies for the second time and was once again astonished at how tasty, easy, and healthy they are (because, [...]
First, I’d like you all to take a look at this, which is likely only one of the many articles about the topic currently circulating major newspapers. What do you think about it? While this article does mention a few of the problems involved with such a ban, I still think that the concept is [...]
Dinner today was homemade turkey burgers on homemade wholewheat buns. We demolished them pretty effectively! It’s amazing how similar ground turkey is to ground beef; do you also find that a lot of food that is healthier or made with less fat tends to taste virtually identical to the usual stuff? I mean, I can’t [...]
Short post today because of the excessive amounts of studying that is piling up (a week from today and I’m finished exams!), but I wanted to share this with all of you- I thought you might appreciate it and be able to relate. It’s not too often I have a serious chocolate craving. And when [...]
