Weekly exercise. EXERCISE. Chocolate. Ice cream.  You get the point. How many times have you sworn to yourself that you will do/not do something&#8230;.then it happens anyway? What happens next? For many of us it&#8217;s GUILT. Such an ugly word. And an ugly feeling. There are times where guilt is appropriate, particularly if you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love quinoa. There, I&#8217;ve said it. Back in St. Louis my friends called me the Quinoa Queen because I introduced EVERYBODY to my favorite little seed. Yes, quinoa is a seed. It looks like a grain and acts like a grain, but is actually the seed of a grass like plant from South America. It&#8217;s a nutritional powerhouse, loaded with magnesium, folate, phosphorous, maganese AND (as a rarity in the plant kingdom) is a complete protein (that means it [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;d much rather see an article talking about CHANGING the SAD diet, as opposed to supplementing to offset bad choices. More and more bandaids will not eliminate the problem. Want to lose weight? Trade sugary drinks for water &#8211; I&#8217;m amused that some organization FUNDED this research! One nice thing that came out [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;re not familiar with my journey with food/anxiety/depression, you can read about it over here. It took some time, but eventually I was able to love food AND still feel good (have my food love me). Here are my quick tips on getting your food to love you back. Start with good food.

My first harvest is done, and the second round of fruits is coming in now on both the Cherokee purple and yellow pear tomatoes. And my pepper plants are FINALLY blooming!

The goal of HeartCamp (a product of the intelligent, giving and amazingly connected Maria de los Angeles) was to bring together lots of folks to present, discuss and learn about all things heart related. Speakers covered relationships, yoga, life experiences, SEX (woohoo!), health and so much more. My presentation after lunch covered Heart Health: Mind &#38; Body. We talked about foods to fight heart disease, [...]]]></description>

And other research indicates that when it comes to weight loss, it&#8217;s not so much what you eat but HOW MUCH you eat.
