Hey guys! Aside from the fact that I’ve had no social life for the past two months and that the biggest academic test I’ll ever take is in less than 2.5 weeks, I’m doing pretty well! I’m alive and healthy, at least – though I have gained the “Comps 5″ (the five pounds you gain [...]

Hey guys! TGIF! If you’re looking for ways to break the routine of your work-outs, there are so many options out there, it’s awesome! Sure, many require some dough (and many times, it’s worth it!), but many require only your open-mind and time (and/or resourcefulness)! [photo cred: "Mike" Michael L.

Addendum** Help!  I’m experiencing a “slumptitude” (thanks for the word, Miz!)!  It’s not only just a mental lack of motivation, it’s an actual physical slump as well.  Mentally, I’m on “I just want to eat crap and lay in bed all day” mode.  Physically, while I can usually run 6-miles and hardly break a sweat, [...]

Edited to add additional give-away Hi guys! Confession:  For the past week or so I have gotten more lax on my eating.  Remember that video post here where I gave my oh-so-insightful advice never to eat a cookie the size of your head?  Well, I ate a cookie the size of my head.  And then [...]

Gluten free, vegan, organic… Only 70 calories each, no fat and 1 g of fiber, I just want to give them a big smooch. Even my boyfriend likes these little round food frisbees of delight and [...]

So I met a buddy for a “Turbo Kick Boxing” class at the gym and it was definitely an experience!  The instructor started with asking who was new to the class and my friend and I shot up our hands without hesitation.  She warned us, “don’t judge this until your 5th session after you’ve learned [...]

Oh but I will wait… I’ve got lots to tell you all but I may not be around much this weekend given the monster of a paper I have due.  But, being the magnanimous gal that I am (haha), I will let  you know some things I’m looking forward to writing about soon! Amazing Grass [...]

Hi, my name is Annabel and I am a recovering extremist. It began as a subtle transformation, six years of this journey has been me slowly and healthily weaning myself off of bad habits and gaining the knowledge and determination to gain and stick to good, healthy habits.  Then I said, “Bah! I want it [...]

Kabuki Restaurant (located only in AZ, CA and NV), has introduced some new menu items geared towards the health-conscious consumer.  This was, unfortunately, not on their website, but I found out when I visited the Cerritos location last night.  Now on the inside, left page, titled, “Eat Healthy. Love Life,” are four new menu options: [...]
