“I have gained 35 pounds in the past two years. My god.” I remember the exact moment when it hit me how out of control I had let my eating habits become.

We all say to ourselves: I will exercise tomorrow. I’m gonna go for a run and do it everyday this week. I will join the gym. I will walk to work. But saying these things are easier said than done. Obviously! There are always the easiest excuses to make: I’m too tired. I’m too lazy. I don’t have enough time during the day. I have too many things to do already.

She told me that she purchased a Groupon for an acupuncture session because she wanted to get over her fear of needles and recover quickly from the New York City Marathon. Being as though I’d only ever heard of the practice from television and movies, I was very curious as to how her appointment went over. Once she told me how successfully it worked (and how she

Salads are the one of those foods that I absolutely love. Most of the time I eat salads as a meal itself. Salads are a great way to increase your intake of vegetables to nourish yourself with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. We need to be consuming a variety of 2-3 cups of vegetables a day. These two salad recipes are my absolute favorites that I make on a regular basis.
