I don't know about you but I've had a few too many sugar cookies over the holidays. I've also had a few too many plates of leftover stuffing and a few too many croissants. Don't forget about all the cocktails and whatnot. But no regrets. We've all indulged a bit and that's okay. But now, my body is … [Read more...]
Taking the plunge at the new Body Blitz Spa!
I see the signs. Just passed the design district on King East in an industrial looking complex. The streetcar driver immediately sees my eyes light up and says "looks like someone is going to have a nice afternoon!" as he nods with smile my way. I do a bit of a hop and a skip off the vehicle and … [Read more...]
I got a little JUICY! Time for a Juice Cleanse & Detox
So, confession time..how well do you eat? I mean really? I can go on about my day noshing on a bag of popcorn and a few cups of tea (maybe a coffee). Then, at night I'm either eating with the family or out at an event of some sort where food is a plenty. Hard to resist those sliders and mini cake … [Read more...]

DETOX: Day Four
Wow. Who knew that doing a weirdo fad detox diet could put you off food entirely? Today's regime was bananas & skim milk. I was hungry to begin with, but amazingly enough, eating only bananas has a way of making you prefer hunger to eating. And I like bananas. Get this though: I'm at the airport … [Read more...]
DETOX: Day Three
Can I tell you what a luxury it was to actually eat fruit today? My hubby came home from work just raving about the apples he ate. Ahhhh...sweetness! I tell ya...if nothing else, this Sacred Heart Diet sure teaches you discipline. Tomorrow's nothing but bananas and skim milk - that should be … [Read more...]
DETOX: Day Two
All right. Day two was hard. HARD! Can you imagine? Nothing but vegetables? Mostly raw & fresh? And your treat, treat! Is a potato. *help me* Well, it wasn't all that bad, and I actually figured out that I wasn't so far off from a decent Weight Watchers day in the end. I'm sure my body will … [Read more...]
DETOX: Day One
Blech. That's how I've been feeling lately. My eating's been blah - not the worst, definitely not the best. I'm still in the gain 3 lbs, lose 3 lbs mode. And it's totally because I'm completely unmotivated. I also haven't been exercising at all, other than day-to-day stuff, like walking to my … [Read more...]
