Nutrition and Alcohol (Yes, I put those two words in the same title)

diet / 2 Comments

So, I broke my own advice and opened another tab last night. Bad, bad, bad. This bar had Woodchuck Cider, which is one of my favorites, but was on tap – so I got pint glasses (16 oz) instead of bottles (12 oz). As we all know thanks to Mindless Eating (if you haven’t read it, you MUST – I will post a review in the upcoming days that explains more), bigger serving sizes meant I drank more. A lot more. And to top it all off, this bar gave out free pizza with every drink. These were personal pizzas, …

An Original Diet Tip for Drinking

diet / Leave a Comment

You would think that having just started this blog a few days ago, I’d have plenty to post about and wouldn’t yet start missing updates. Unfortunately, you would be wrong. Yesterday was a busy day and I just didn’t get around to posting during the day. I planned to make up for it at night by posting an awesome dinner. We’re talking gourmet here, people. I invited my friend Barry over with promises of deliciousness, and I even stopped at Whole Foods on the way home and bought all kinds of special ingredients. We made plans to meet up at …

Healthy Meal: Black Bean Soup

cooking / 1 Comment

This is one of my favorite recipes, and today I made it in record time! Fourteen minutes to chop the veggies and put everything in the pot, then I did the 20 minute arms segment of “Tank Top Arms, Bikini Belly, Boy Shorts Bottom” while it cooked. Easy, easy, easy! I was a little concerned when I came back, because it was much redder than usual, but I realized I usually do two cans of black beans instead of one (the recipe calls for three, but I cut it in half, and I usually don’t like to save half a …

Biggest Loser: "Five Remaining Players Compete For Spot on Finale"

Uncategorized / Leave a Comment

I decided I’m going to post Biggest Loser updates every Wednesday. I know the season ends next week, but a new one starts in January so I can just resume then. If you don’t watch Biggest Loser, you MUST start in January. My gym has TVs on the ellipticals, so I usually head down there to watch for a while, and then when I get tired, I go back up to my room and lift weights while I watch. It’s pretty inspiring: I find that I do a lot more (distance, speed, reps, time exercised) on my Biggest Loser nights …

Healthy Meal: Scarlet Snapper with Field Peas and Snaps

cooking / Leave a Comment

This recipe was probably the easiest I’ve made. Unfortunately, not that tasty. However, I think I attribute that to personal taste rather than the actual recipe. Basically, you chop up some peppers and onions, toss them in a baking dish, lay a piece of snapper on top, splash some Worcestershire sauce on top, and then put a bit of butter on (I used a quick spray of Pam instead). Pop it in the oven for 20 mins, put a bit of parmesan on (you’re supposed to use real cheese, not the powdered kind, but I didn’t have it so I …
