This is totally random but all of a sudden I can't use my neti pot! It absolutely burns the inside of my nose until I gag and cough and my eyes water. I've never had this problem before. I've tried different salt, no salt, different water temps -----> same thing. It's really frustrating...

I thought of another one: caffeine. I used to begin the day with a cup of coffee with raw milk and agave. Seemed perfectly healthy but when I began shredding I cut it out and switched to black decaf with cinnamon. The changes in my mood, fatigue and hunger have been remarkable. And, the last...

I had fried mac and cheese once and I've got to say it was pretty good. :D

I just added The Vagrants to my wishlist at Amazon. That's how I keep track of what I want to read. :) It looks great, thanks for the rec! As for Shanghai Girls, I did like it as much as Snowflower though it's not as lyrical. I was not wild about Peony in Love though;this was much better IMO.

I read this earlier in the summer and enjoyed it. I was intrigued by the concept of our behavior digging out our neural pathways which in turn causes us to practice the same behaviors over and over, even to our own detriment sometimes. At least I think that was the idea, the science was a...

If that were a bumper sticker I'd buy it. :D

I do my cardio early in the morn so I would like someone to develop a workout that allows me to hold a cup of coffee while springing around the room.

Jenn, how about a little charm and bracelet? There are all sorts of "career" charms so you might be able to get a cute little handcuffs charm or police badge etc.

This made me LOL. I've found that diet really does matter as well. I always thought exercise was the top thing but just tweaking my diet slightly has had a noticeable impact on my body.

- cutting added sodium and sugar, not out but way back - cutting back on products made with industrial soy (soy protein isolate etc) - cutting back on "healthy" snacks that had decent ingredients but are still processed, such as organic granola bars and whole wheat organic crackers. Instead I...

I've read a number of good books in the last few weeks so I am passing them along to the Cathe bookworms. :) For the history buffs, Sam Adams: A Life by Ira Stoll. For the fiction fans, Lisa See's new one, Shanghai Girls For the spiritual-minded, When Things Fall Apart by Pema...

A work out will definitely make you feel better. :) {{{Kristin}}}. I have my share of down days...they aren't any fun at all. :(

These aren't fair foods but still gross. http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/

People FRY Twinkies??!! I'm both repulsed and intrigued...

What time should I be over? :D

I agree! I don't understand the point of food like this, at least not as mainstream chow. I understand novelty food but that used to mean the deep fried pickle you'd try at the county fair or having the "all you can eat" sundae once a year while on vacation at the shore, not something that is...

Check out this monstrosity. http://tiny.cc/NqgEw

Wow! How did you feel about that? I'm probably in the minority but I don't believe the schools should be in the business of telling parents what to feed their kids. If they want to make a difference they should focus on cleaning up the vending machines and school lunches. Just my 2 cents. :)

Like Kathryn, I think others would look at my diet and say it's strict but to me it's not because I'm eating what I want to eat. Whole grains, dark chocolate, fruits and veg and organic dairy products are in my house not as an expression of self-denial but because those are the foods that...

I think this is a great experiment and I think in the long term y'all will be happy with the result. I eat clean (mostly) but define clean as whole foods, not "diet" foods, and so my clean includes whole milk, cheese, chocolate, butter etc. along with whole grains and plenty of fruit and veg...
