Sometimes I think I am my own worst critic and that I tend to guilt trip myself over minuscule offenses. I guess this is probably a good thing and a bad thing. I’ve been feeling guilty that I haven’t really either had the time to work out or the impetus to work out very much [...]
I’m closing in on the one year mark of my journey into health, fitness and vegetarianism. I started Weight Watchers a week after New Years. Its been an interesting journey to say the least — one which I wish I had embarked on much much sooner.
The journey has not come without its challenges. Modifying my [...]

I have to say, [...]
I think my sinus infection is *finally* disepating, which is a good thing seeing as I just finished up the antibiotics for it. I really need to practice the various methods of deep breathing associated with yoga. Its hard to do when you can’t breathe through your nose.
I’m kicking ass at sticking to a daily exercise [...]
