…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 …
Michael Jackson wasn’t the only one pro-teen. Ok that was borderline lame but on a serious note, we are a protein-obsessed society. Compared to all the other food groups, protein seems to be placed on a pedestal. A guy at my gym actually suggested I take protein shakes post-workout because of its whey protein content. Errr …
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 …

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 …
Let’s be honest- any holiday/celebration/family gathering means an abundance of food. Especially when everyone else around you is tucking in, it’s easy to have an ‘oh well’ attitude…which I believe is completely fine since these celebrations don’t happen every day. The only bad part about it is the possible food hangover which may follow: you …
I hate sending forwards. Along with unpunctual people, another one of my pet peeves is receiving/sending chain letters which present an ultimatum: “If you don’t send this email to 10 people, you’re going to have a lifetime of bad luck. Your time starts now”. Give me a break! Although every now and then, I receive …
Yesterday Morning’s Plan of Action: wake up (always a promising start ;)) –> breakfast–> gym. What can I say, plans were made to be broken. Chuck Bass and the rest of the Upper East-Siders kinda took precedence over the gym. After missing my scheduled workout, it was so tempting to cancel it completely. Not tempting …
