So the other day, I was out for dinner and ordered an asparagus salad. Anticipating something both visually pleasing and delicious, I was served …drumrroll please…a bowl of iceberg lettuce and asparagus. I ate it nonetheless (gotta get those greens in ;)) but it was pretty pathetic. Even a few cucumbers here and a bit …
…add a spoonful of me Splenda? My sweet tooth definitely dominates my taste buds. Without fail, I have to conclude every meal with something sweet. Especially when I first started losing weight, my answer to this was Splenda. At 0 calories, it seemed like the perfect solution. Alas, I sprinkled it on everything that needed sweetening …
Is it me or has anyone else ever felt like being at a gym is like being in multiple locations simultaneously: i.e. a party, come indoor playground, come zoo all at once. Firstly, I am pretty sure it’s a pre-requisite for gyms to blast the music’s volume. Even though the chosen tracks may not be …
….and spin me around!!! Other than the occasional body pump or yoga class every now and then, I’m not much of an exercise class person. I never feel like I get as good as a workout as I do with a gym workout. An exception to that, however, is spinning. After ages, I finally attended …

Fret not, it’s really easy to recreate a yummy Mexican meal at home which is super healthy and quick: Sauté some onions in a pan until browned Add in …
When it comes to food, I am pretty open-minded in terms of trying new things. If I were to reject an offer, it would probably because a) the dish is either ridiculously deep-fried or b) contains beef or cilantro (coriander). I don’t know where my distaste for cilantro stems from, but the mere smell of …
I love this sign in my gym: “You have a private wealth manager to manage your wealth, why not have a personal trainer to manage your health?” As I’ve admitted in the past, my idea of weight training is quite pathetic. As it bores me to no end, I tend to call it a day …
Days like today convince me that Sundays were created for one reason only: R&R i.e. a chance to recharge our batteries. My day has consisted of Facebook stalking (get over it, we all do it ;)), playing Scrabble on my iTouch, occasional visits to the kitchen, catching up on the latest Desperate Housewives, and a …
