I think it is easier to lose 30lbs than to lose a negative body image. I would have thought the girl on the left would have more negative body thoughts than the girl on the right… BTW both girls are me 🙂 I had a really bad case of the “uglies” yesterday. I was super … Continue reading
Are you looking for the perfect time to make a change in your life? I was. It never came. There was always an excuse on why I couldn’t change my eating. That big party coming up, a family reunion, Valentine’s day, Christmas, summer….. Look at a calendar, I’m sure you would struggle to find 6 … Continue reading
August long weekend is cottage time for us. The minute I step foot in the cottage my “to do list” looks something like this: -nap -read 7yr old Cosmo and People magazines (a very amusing parenting article written by Billy Ray Cyrus on how he is raising Miley to be a good girl ha!) -swim … Continue reading
I recently ran into a friend I hadn’t seen in over 6 months. She was really surprised by my change in appearance. “Wow! How did you lose all that weight?” was the question. I thought about it and then I had to tell her the truth…. even though it isn’t the answer most people want … Continue reading

I go to my exercise class pretty much everyday. The old “me” would have called me selfish. Spending that precious hour on myself instead of my kids would have been a very difficult thing for the old “me” to do. I am so glad I have changed. My kids are so glad that I have … Continue reading
Someone asked me if it has to be all or nothing with Clean Eating. At the beginning, it was ALL! I totally committed to this new way of eating. To be honest, my motives weren’t entirely pure. Sure I was interested in cutting out fake food, fake sweeteners, fake fats, but my main goal was … Continue reading
I LOVE COFFEE! Coffee makes me happy. I love to sit along with a hot coffee and some sort of a baked good and take some time for myself. Just sit and drink coffee. I was a Tim Hortons girl. I loved Tim Hortons. I remember when my kids were small I would drive the … Continue reading
Have you ever gone to a pot luck dinner and your friends either assume or hope that you will bring your signature dish? I have a friend who brings a layered taco dip to every party. If she doesn’t- well let’s just say it isn’t pretty. My signature dish was always pie. I love making … Continue reading
My husband is part Lebanese and not only did he share with me his difficult to spell last name, he also introduced me to Lebanese Food. I remember the first time I went to his parents’ house for dinner. I was 18 years old and super nervous about what they might serve for dinner. Having … Continue reading
