I am reading Naturally Thin and am really liking it! Yesterday I got to a section in the book where you fill in things about your eating habits, food preferences and food philosophy. That last one stopped me in my tracks. I mean, I have a food blog, I have very strong views on food issues, yet I haven’t voiced…

Chocolate Covered Truth
I swear to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the Chocolate Covered Truth on this blog 🙂 Look at the Dove promise I found inside my candy tonight… “Chocolate-coated truth tastes better.” I had every intention of being truthful about my post-dinner indulgences, but this wrapper made sure I would! Lunch was what I consider a “normal…

Shy Fruit
There is fruit underneath that mountain of cereal, cashews and chia seeds…it’s just shy! See 🙂 My breakfast had cantaloupe, strawberries and bananas as the fruit component.

Spicy Pita Pizza
Hello and Happy Friday! This morning I ate a quick breakfast of an Ezekiel muffin with almond butter on one side and ICBNB with cinnamon and stevia on the other. Then, I rushed off to Kick Boxing. I am obsessed with KB! But, the morning classes are only offered twice a week – Mondays and Fridays. Mondays are a running…

To Weigh or Not to Weigh
The age old question…to weigh or not to weigh… that is the question. After a very long time of avoiding the schedule (mostly because I didn’t want to know the damage I’d been doing) I have recently started weighing myself every few weeks. I want to hold myself more accountable then I’ve been and know the scale is the best…
