So it’s Monday *1*. Time for the update on the whole “get fit” deal that I talked about last week.
To see the rest of the post, click on the ‘more’ link below – I’ve done this to keep the front page of the blog as free from my diet related hi-jinks as possible. I am [...]

God was most certainly not a woman.
I came to this decision about the creator long ago, but lately it has been reinforced in my mind primarily because of the following:
I can have excruciating PMT, but easy to control weight.
OR
I can have medical intervention to eliminate the cramps that feel like Jack the Ripper is having [...]

It’s the simplest things that can bugger up a girl’s attempts at healthy eating. Like brushing your teeth before settling down to enjoy a nice kiki and raspberry breakfast smoothie.
*sigh*
Today is going to be a very blonde day, I can feel it.

Back when I started this whole health kick, JB suggested in the comments that I should try smoothies for breakfast as a handy way of getting more fruit into my diet, and overcoming my inability to eat bananas, in one fell swoop.

Day One of the “you will eat a freakishly large amount of fruit for breakfast” diet.
For breakfast today: one banana, one clementine, one golden delicious.
First impressions? Do I eat this with a spoon, with a fork, with my fingers, with chopsticks?! What’s good form? I’m currently in a no-mans land between fork and fingers. [...]
