You on a Diet August 2, 2007

Nap Power

I take one (about 20-25 minutes) before my Monday night class. It really helps. My friend calls it a disco nap.

I Did It

I bought my first bathing suit top in 16 years. Body image be damned.

The Acupuncture Continues.

Yesterday it was for iron which I had a major reaction to it. I broke out in hives and was all itchy. I couldn’t have beer or anything with grains, most fruit etc., etc. So I had a pretzel for breakfast and juice and yogurt for lunch. I’m on the Nicole Ritchie diet. Just a note, don’t have a conversation with your mother right before the treatment. It screws up your energy fields or something. I will say that I’ve managed not to get sick in the office so maybe it’s working out after all.

A Healthier Planet = A Healthier You

So lately, I’ve been taking small steps to try and make the earth a happier place. For instance, I never take receipts from the ATM and I don’t ask for plastic bags. I carry my big bag. However, I have to be extra vigilant in getting the salespeople not give me one. It’s bad for our marine animal friends and
“To make 100 billion plastic checkout bags per year, which is how many we use in the U.S. each year, it takes 12 million barrels of oil.”

That’s crazy right? I try to reuse my plastic bags if I do get them for groceries etc.


What’s the World’s Healthiest Bean?

My absolute favorite bean – the black bean.
