Weightloss

  • In just a few days, it will be the end of August and it will have been eight months since January. If you haven’t accomplished your goals, perhaps now is a time to reevaluate them and reprioritize. If you have not yet gone for a health check up, then I recommend you do so. Health…

  • Health Check Results

    I just got my health check results today.  It’s always a bit nerve-racking when you receive the results in a sealed package and have to open it.  It makes you wonder what will be written inside.  How will my cholesterol be this year?

  • Yakult Yakult

    I’m always looking for something healthy to eat and drink, but when you are on a weightloss program things get a lot tougher.  I love drinking Yakult.  If you don’t know what it is, it is probiotic drink made by fermenting skimmed milk with a special strain of Lactobacillus.  This is supposedly a very healthy…

  • Yesterday I started out writing with the intention of talking about “Dragon Fruits” but half way through I realized I was talking more about weigh scales.  Tonight I’ll get straight to the point and talk about this relatively new fruit called “Dragon fruit.” When I first heard the name I wondered what could a fruit…

  • Considering the number of restaurants I have been reviewing (and I have plenty more lined up), you might wonder how can one stay in shape and prevent excessive weight gain? As my advice has always been the first step to maintaining a  healthy lifestyle is to be “aware” of what one is eating.  If you…
