I can’t decide if this article is about a very insightful book, or if it’s just a joke. When it’s Not on your Plate It Doesn’t Count: The Top Ten Reasons Women Have Trouble Sticking to a Diet from Maclean’s magazine is a review of the book Ten Habits the Mess Up a Woman’s Diet […]

Two weeks ago, I got on the scale only to discover that I had 8.5 kg or almost 19lbs to lose.
Today, at 8 weeks post partum, I have only 7 kg or 15.4 lbs to go.

Someone has to tell them what no one else will!
I know there are a few readers of this blog who are about to pop, so I want to get some quick and dirty advice to them fast.

Post partum, my posture is even worse. According to a conversation on the Berkeley Parents’ Network, I am not alone. Members of the group recommend yoga, pilates, and just standing […]
I haven’t eaten any chocolate this week. Well, I did drink a cup of cocoa with my husband last night. I’ve also been watching other snacks and counting my vegetable servings to ensure I get 5 or 6 a day.
