Every night for the past couple of weeks, around dinner time, I’ve gone in search of burgers. Only online, mind you. I’ve looked at V Burger and Burger Edge and even McDonald’s and Hungry Jack’s. I’ve browsed the burger menus … Continue reading

That ol’ chestnut.

I murdered the gym this afternoon. An hour of sweaty cardio… it was wonderful, and I didn’t feel like quitting once. Booyah. Probably had something to do with the fact that I ate an embarrassing amount of food on both … Continue reading

I’m not at all a fan of Tumblr-style reblogging (or whatever they call it), but this struck a chord. I found it on one of my favourite new-to-me blogs. “The day I realized that the cultural ideal of femininity was, … Continue reading

To good health and happiness.

You may notice that there’s not been a WW Wednesday this week. I didn’t go to weigh in. I’m still very undecided what to do, but my heart is still leaning towards not continuing. Note that I didn’t say, quitting. … Continue reading
