Things are getting a bit better. Yoga is becoming… not easier but I remember this feeling in 2010 when I first started yoga. I would honestly feel like dying when I got home. Even after class putting my clothes back on I could barely lift my arms and my face was super red. Now I [...]

Pod Person, overnight pumpkin oats
So I decided to join the rest of the pod people bloggers and make Overnight Oats. Okay okay, I see what all the fuss is about. They are quick, they are easy, they are addictive, and they are more filling than I thought they would be! What are Overnight Oats? Oats you don’t have to [...]

Lessons learned about the mighty Spelt grain
I really wanted to make my own brown rice burgers this week. So I bought the ingredients but when I decided to make them today I looked at my spelt berries and thought hey, wouldn’t it be so great to make them with spelt instead of rice? So I did. And…lesson learned. Spelt berries even [...]

If you don’t like it, then leave!
By the way, I can’t stand the people who go to my yoga studio. Think of the most pretentious snobby, skinny, perfectly-outfitted girls you could ever see in your life – and they all go to my studio. It’s not like I never noticed before, its just that it really bothered me last night. So [...]

Sleep became me
Finally, the sweet relief of a good night’s sleep. Thank you Ativan! hey that’s what it’s there for right? Emergencies like that. No way was I going to risk another night of bad sleep, and feeling like I did yesterday. So today already started off to be a better day because I slept. I went [...]

Skinny Cargo
Well I’m clippin along the challenge. Finished Day 6 yesterday. I’m exhilarated. It was raining all weekend and I had such a productive weekend. I did all my grocery shopping (including Whole Foods), made my own Black Bean Burgers (and I have to tell you – it was sooooo easy), did four loads of laundry [...]

Nerd trekking
Well I managed to escape Whole Foods by only spending $12!! Stocked up on spelt and kamut berries and bought some Bragg Apple Cidar Vinegar to make Vegan Slaw Dressing from Love Veggies and Yoga blog. Also some organic green onions because they taste soooo awesome. I also treked across the city and stocked up [...]

challenge me
Thursday Yoga Class (DAY #3) Shandy Rae (yoga teacher) says at the beginning of class, “Okay, who here is doing the 30-day challenge?”. Me and another girl raise our hands. Shandy nods approvingly. “Okay, who here is doing their own challenge?” About three more hands go up proudly. “Everybody should have their hand up” she [...]

Enter, the Dancer
Dancer’s pose reminds me of the cool popular kid in high school. Everyone is obsessed with it and you can feel this electricity in the air when it comes time to do the pose. All the perfect skinny girls with their perfect yoga outfits get all uppity and fling themselves immediately deep forward into Dancer’s [...]

bloated fish mouth
I actually took the morning to cook and prepare food. I really hate to prepare fruit – it’s one of my biggest pet peeves. I have always said I would eat way more fruit if someone just washed and cut it up for me. But alas, I am not rich nor do I have a [...]

limp om
A weak om to me is like a weak handshake – just do it properly! I hate limp hands. I hate limp oms. The yoga teacher who irritates me…. (let’s give her a nickname shall we? Help me think of one. The Irritator? The Yoga Nerd?). Anyway, her oms are SO WEAK. And she does [...]

om’ing with the best of the them (Wed recap)
WOW, yoga last night was AMAZING!!! Again, it was the teacher I didn’t like, but again, she didn’t seem annoying and she did something really cool in class that I hadn’t done before. Just before we got into our second Dancer’s pose, she asked us to make a Vitarka Mudra . Then we got right [...]

hot migraines in the city
Well, woke up with a migraine today. Wasn’t even mad about it, because I expected it from yoga. I know that I’ll probably be getting a lot of them until my body gets used to it again. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel though – the headaches definitely minimize [...]

better life
Ok, after 12 hours straight every day of working on that final website project, I am done. I swear I’m never doing another one again. But you know I probably will. I bet it’s like during childbirth when women say they’ll never have another child again – but then they always do. Yes….I’ll most likely [...]

Sparse
Posts are going to be sparse this week. I’ve got no time! Today though was good, because at break time today at school I didn’t have any Tim Horton’s stuff, brought my own cottage cheese and grapes and had that. I felt way less tired and more energized – thanks protein and sugar! I’m still [...]

Monday Blues
I did end up going to yoga Sunday night. It was okay. I pushed a little too hard in Dancer’s Pose and paid for it with twinges of spasmodic pain in my lower back all the way home. Nice. coffee with f/f creamer – 30 (1) 1 egg – 70 (2) shredded cheese – 50 [...]

Today I went, spent $40 (what!) and got this: Arugula green onions goat feta fresh parmasean quinoa and sweet potato burgers spelt and kamut berries sunflower seed butter ginger tea [...]

Friday/Sat
ok, it’s Saturday as I’m writing this. First of all, I ate really well. Second of all, I went OUT last night, can you believe it? Out and had drinks even! In bar-like settings! Me! Drinks I had: 1) Barbie’s Vacation: Vodka with mix of other yummy stuff I forget, pineapple and grapefruit juice, etc. [...]

Taming the Monkey
Yoga was interesting last night. I didn’t feel like I did any good in any of the poses, except near the very end when we sat on our knees/feet and tried to “find the stillness”, I had a very serene cool out-of-body type experience. And then as soon as I recognized it and tried to [...]

70s hair
My hair smells like the 1970s. And I love it. I am using this stuff from Lush called Big Shampoo. Every time I use it I smile. It’s such weird stuff, like very goopy and it has these little chunks/beads in it. But when you start to rub it on your hair it lathers up [...]

I always hated math
Um….what’s up? Today and yesterday, did you see my calories? Does this make my other post not true or something? Disappointment and fear is sinking my heart, sinking it like this weight loss ship I’m on. Was the calories thing NOT the reason I’m not losing weight and so now I’m back to being totally [...]

140 calories for cream?
Oh my lord you guys. You won’t believe it. For some reason I thought that a coffee from Tim Horton’s with two cream was equal to 2 Weight Watchers points. Not great, but definitely doable. Well, since I decided to get all Nazi with my calories, I’m looking up every single thing that passes through [...]
