Matt and I have a house sitter for the next 10 days since we are going to be on our vacation to Boston, New Hampshire, and Montreal. (A big shout out to Sophie, Elina, and Daisy who gave me lots of suggestions of places to eat and things to see in Beantown). I thought it read on ..

I have terrible skin. I can’t remember not having pimples. My acne peaked probably in grade 10 (as did my weight, but that’s another sob story for another rainy day) and I endured Accutane for 8 months to be “cured” from zits. Well, I wasn’t cured but my skin did improve a lot. I still read on ..

Last night’s dinner was an endeavour to say the least, but 3 hours in the kitchen was well worth it when I finally was able to sit down and enjoy it. Let me back up to the beginning.

I gained 3 lb of fat since the last time I went to the naturopath… but I guess that makes sense since I had lost 3 lb of fat on the 3 week cleansing diet that she put me on to determine my food sensitivities. Net loss = 0 Actually I had a net gain, read on ..

So I mentioned on Tuesday that I would weigh-in on Thursday. Here it is. I had to avert my eyes. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?! This is actually exactly the same as I was last week, but 1lb more than the last time I weighed in. Damn. I was hoping for a 1lb loss. I am not a read on ..
