Update – Due to some controversy about the lining in Laken bottles I have switched to stainless steel bottles without lining. One of my favorite products is my Laken water bottle. I used to use a plastic pvc bottles, until, like so many other people, read about the toxins leaching into my water. Since I […]

Apple cider vinegar has been used for centuries to promote general health. It is one of the things I incorporate into my diet daily. When looking for apple cider vinegar, always buy Raw Organic Apple Cider with “The Mother”. The mother is the cloudy residue that you see floating in the bottle. It contains the […]

My mom is a GREAT seamstress, much better than she gives herself credit for! In my life she has sewn everything for me from a indian princess costume when I was 5 to a crib set for my second son. Not to mention all the cute things she has sewn for my sister and her […]

Today my friend and I completed a 5k run.  I’ve never done one before.  I didn’t really train for it.  I just decided to go for it…and it showed.  It took us about 45 minutes.  Impressive huh!!  Oh well.  We had fun!

I’m sort of frugal. So when I saw a pair of designer jeans at a great price I couldn’t help but buy them even though…they are TOO SMALL. Now, these jeans are hanging in my bedroom where I can see them everyday. This is good. It’s motivation to say on my plan because I will […]

I drove down to LA today to film a scene for a webisode I’m in. On the drive home, I got super duper tired and decided to stop at McDonald’s for a Filet O’Fish. What? Just kidding.  I got a sugar free Premium Ice coffee. “Premium” cracks me up. It’s McDonald’s. I got my burst […]

What is a figure competition? That is what I asked when my dear friend told me she was doing one a few years ago. This is how I’d describe it. In figure competing women walk in 5″ clear heels on stage wearing silly sparkly bikinis and ridiculous looking one pieces while being judged on their […]

I was too tired to get up early and I’m going to LA and then to Santa Maria for a retirement party for Brent’s dad so I didn’t make it to the gym.  That means Sunday will be a cardio day. Flexibilily is important to me if I’m going to stick with my plan.  As to […]
