Cows dont shoot (guest post)

by

  On March 13th Time Healthland tweeted “The deadly dangers of eating red meat” which linked to their blog post “Eating Red, Processed Meat Raises Your Risk of Early Death.” A paper in Wyoming ran “Red Meat Kills.” Questionable science aside, these are, in my opinion, irresponsible headlines. Sending people running from a hamburger as if a cow is going to jump up off the plate and shoot ... Continue Reading

DiZclaimer:  Im biased. I freakin love this girl.  The Tornado LOOOVES her & Pure Bliss Eats. We're superfly biased that way.

Dont be afraid to take that first step (guest post).

by

Fear really is a 4 letter word. Fear of failure is a very strong motivator to stay where you are. Fear has held me back from doing so many things throughout my life. I was a very overweight child. I started my first diet in grade-school which was the beginning to a life of losing weight then gaining it all back plus a few more. A life of feeling like a failure because of my weight ...

Chocolate Protein Cake (guest post).

by

I've been on this healthier-me quest for almost five years now, but I only recently tumbled to the miracle that is the Chocolate Protein Cake (and some people say Pinterest is just a big time suck). When I think of how many mornings I could have had chocolate cake for breakfast...well, it doesn't help to dwell on the past. Instead I'll pass along my version of the Chocolate Protein Cake, ...

You plank. You #PlankADay. You tweet how many minutes you hold a basic plank. But I'm assuming you also progress your plank? ... say what? And of course, you bridge, right? ---crickets. While the current trend of planking is wonderful, it's only the beginning. There is SO MUCH MORE you can and should do with this exercise - and it's Siamese twin the bridge. The idea of holding a ...

The FEVEROUS love affair with HEMP HEARTS.

by

Mizfitonline recently talked about her torrid (and long standing) love affair with Chia seeds, and I hope you’ve listened to what she had to say and incorporated it into your diet. But if you haven’t yet gone out to pick up your stockpile of Chia….get ready to add one more thing to your shopping list. As passionate as MizFit is about Chia…I am even more so about Hemp Hearts (also known as hemp ... Continue Reading

Listen to your gut. Please. (guest post)

by

It was July 1998. I was 23 years old. I had been having pain and discomfort in my abdomen for months, but the doctors in upstate New York kept telling me I probably had a cyst and that “it would go away” and “not to worry about it”. When I moved back to Long Island, I found a new doctor and during his first examination of my belly, he ordered for me to have a biopsy of the mass in my ... Continue Reading

Breakfast to Bed.

Please to enjoy Cat. I love me some Cat. I met me some Cat when I was in NYC. Please to enjoy Cat.   Hi. This is me. I’m Cat and I blog at Breakfast to Bed   This is also me.

oooh SNAP. A NIGHT-exerciser responds:

by

Hi my name is Katie and I can’t work out before 5:30 at night.   <<All Respond…Hi Katie>> That’s right I said it.  I can’t get up early and workout like some many other amazing fitness junkies.  I tried a few times and it was a complete bust for me.  My lungs don’t seem to want to wake up until at least 6:30 a.m..  So that means that I’m forced to SQUEEZE it in sometime after ...

The Mysterious Middle (guest post).

by

I fear I may never learn the art of moderation.  I seem wired to either behave in one extreme or the opposing other.  In other words, I have no concept of the middle. In my past, I struggled with addiction and all the fun stuff that entails--hopelessness, turmoil, shame…and obviously, no exercise.  But since February of 2002, I’ve been one of the fortunate ones who has managed to stay away from ...
