I can do nothing buy gawk at the stories you have shared about this guy. He must be such a huge problem for everyone in your workplace.

When I was in university, I had no money. Luckily, my dad used to come by with a box of groceries every once in a while. It's really important to have things that are low-cost, high-yield in your cupboards at all times. These are things that might require a bit of investment at the beginning of the month, but are some of…

This reminded me of a problem I had at work a year ago (it was building up for two years). I felt very competitive feelings towards a co-worker of mine. She had leadership responsibilities, and I really respected her. She is beautiful, successful, and confident. She made some drunken threats towards me in my first few…

Confession #1: It was my birthday this weekend, and a friend was coming over. I had everything for a nice lunch, and so she didn't need to bring anything. She asked if she could bring something, and instead of saying "no", I said "yes... chips!". She came with two bags of salt and vinegar chips, my favourite. I ate a whole…

Wow, I was anticipating more people hating Bikram. I have done it twice (years ago) and I find it BRUTAL, but this post is motivating me to give it a go again!

To add to the theme: there are lots of dogs where I usually ran (on a forest trail), on and off leash. My country requires mandatory strict dog training, so I have never had a problem. Usually I slow down when I encounter a dog not on a leash, but owners often tell me not to bother slowing down. One said to keep running…

Definitely be careful in water. It can be great once ALL inflammation has gone down, but it can be detrimental otherwise. I sprained my ankle two months ago, and a month ago I went to a thermal spa (with my husband. My ankle blew up to the size of a grapefruit within 20 minutes, and didn't go down for days. It was painful…

Buy a Soda Stream and make carbonated water. You can add sugar free syrup or lemon, but I just drink the fizzy water. You can get extra bottles, so you can take one with you to work.

I'm chiming in with the masses. You're great :)

It was a bit unorthodox. We had ours together at an Oktoberfest party! We booked a whole table for us and our friends, first for sausages and pretzels for dinner, then tons of beer! I wore a German dirndl, and he rented some lederhosen. Afterwards, we ended up at an after party and danced with the band on stage (I hardly…

Starfruit is pretty tasty, but pretty boring and therefore not worth the money. My husband likes it in smoothies (for the texture) but to me, it's just meh. Dragonfruit on the other hand is AMAZING and totally worth the money. It's like a more sweet, less sour kiwifruit. Just peel off the outer skin (you can eat the skin,…

Kimchi is one of the greatest foods in the world, give it a go! I'm not a scientist, but it is delicious! Kefir isn't delicious in my books, but it's worth a try, mixed with some raspberry jam!

Just got back from 8 months of travelling, and I tried everything offered to me. I'd love to go to Korea and eat loads of Kimchi. I love Kimchi at Korean restaurants, but I was watching a food program that showed all of these different kinds, with diverse flavours that you can get in Korea, and I think it would warrant a…

Nike Free Run 5.0 My physiotherapist recommended it for me after a series of injuries (3 sprained ankles and a knee injury in five years). I love them! I have three pairs: one for running (I normally run 4-7 km on road or trails), one for daily wear and one for indoor training.

5'9, age 28 SW: ~ 215 (been around this weight since I was 16, I'm nothing if but consistent!) CW: ~ 205 GW: 180 then re-evaluate. Taking this in baby steps. I got down to 190 two years ago, and I was thrilled.

mmmm these sound so awesome. I'm gunna get my nutribullet out!

I've stopped eating creamy coleslaws alltogether. There is a whole world of delicious coleslaws that don't use mayonnaise or a need for a creamy alternative. I LOVE this recipe from Jamie Oliver's 30 minute meals:…
