Happy Easter everyone!  While I’m not celebrating religiously, I have been celebrating with some good food.  I could comment on the Mini Eggs, the Crème Eggs and the cheap chocolate bunnies at the dollar store, but my opinion on those are probably pretty obvious at this point.  On a related topic, I read about a …

I have to admit something: I have a girl-crush. Who is this leading lady in my life? Dianna Agron. It started as a mild admiration back when first Glee came out, but since doing some more research it’s grown into a bit more.  As it turns out, I have a [very weak] social connection with …

This is my first vlog – it’s rough, the lighting sucks and maybe I should have practiced more but hopefully you guys still enjoy it!  I don’t know how I forgot to mention this but I also bought some kale… I mixed some in my smoothie and had some lightly steamed for lunch [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-E6sSd3b2E&hl=en&fs=1]

It’s over!  And here I was thinking I’d be kissing my fridge door, knowing I could begin indulging yet again.  Actually, I didn’t even really want to start adding foods back in.  I feel pretty good, I was getting used to the routine of things.  So here’s how the second half of this diet works: …

So what CAN I eat on this diet? Before you assume that I’m living on water and supplements, I actually have quite a good list of “allowed” foods.  I can have… Rice and rice cereals Oats and oatmeal Barley Any fresh fruit (except citrus) Canned fruit (if in their own juice and without artificial colour, …
