One of the many terrible habits I have is scarfing down my food. I never really taste it. I'm not sure if it started when I was working long days and was lucky to get a lunch, but its a terrible habit. There are several techniques you can use to help yourself slow down:1. Putting your fork down between every bite.
2. chewing at least 20 times before taking another bite.
3. Eat blind folded.
But frankly, I forget to put the fork down between bites. I don't like my food being chewed t...
Spring Cleaning
Monday, May 10th 2010
I've been doing a lot of organizing and tossing lately. Its been my way of keeping my hands busy and out of the kitchen. I feel like the clutter, even in the closets are slipping away and it feels good. I've even done some spring cleaning in the pantry. Getting rid of those not so great snacks.

I t...Give up the diet drinks

After having the twinlets, I have found it extremely difficult to lose weight. After one whole year, I had only lost 10 lbs. Frustrated, I have attempted several times to give up the soda. I love it so much. I never keep it in the house, and I never have...but it I was out and about, I would definitely find a way to purchase a..."Please step away from the sweets"

We met some friends for dinner tonight. It's never a good thing when you are looking at the nutritional information (now required for all chain restaurants in CA) and the waiter tells you "don't look at that, you'll only be disappointed". But I found a delicious chicken sandwich with bruchetta and pesto (on the side) that I want to recreate at home to enjoy over and over again. I did indulge in a few french fries, but you still have to enjoy food right? To deny yourself completely onl...Next »
