I’ll admit it: I’m a recovering food snob. I used to think that with food you get what you pay for. I’d agonize over not being able to afford organic produce and go out of my way to a myriad of health stores to find the latest supplements. The worst part was my self-righteous attitude as I filled my basket with Trader Joe’s organic, cane-sweetened, sea salt dusted, no gmo peanut-butter filled pretzels.

How To Deal With Involuntary Food Restrictions

All I want right now is a big frosty glass of creamy, ice-cold milk. And I don’t even like milk! So why the sudden cravings? No, I’m not pregnant (aiiieeee!) and no it wasn’t the siren call of Heidi Klum’s milkmaid campaign working on my addled brain. It’s deprivation, plain and simple. What’s the fastest way to get someone to eat something? Tell them they can’t have it, of course!

Filed Under (Fitness Confessions) by Admin on 13-02-2010

Woo hoo! You all know I am an Olympics junkie, and the Winter Olympics are just like the ice cream that goes along with the cake for me. I love watching the skiers, the luge, the figure skating, and of course, my snowboarders! The other sports don’t escape my attention either. Love ‘em all!I am always so awestruck and inspired by the level of talent on display upon the world’s stage during
