There is something wholly positive and helpful about keeping a journal whenever you are in a challenging part of your life — and it goes without saying that weight loss is challenging. So, whether you are just journaling what you eat and drink or if you are keeping track of your workouts or even keeping [...]
Looking for something a little better than the packages of slimy meat and shiny cheeses for lunches on the go? I recently had the opportunity to try GoPicnic’s line of ready to eat meals and they totally knock the socks off of the competition. Everything tastes — and looks — like real food.

Viveca Jensen’s Piloxing promises to make you “sleek, sexy and powerful” through the combination of pilates and boxing. An interesting combination, since so much of pilates concentrates on graceful, sometimes slower movements, while boxing is obviously more fast-paced. As with other workouts I’ve been sent to review, I modified this routine to a more low-impact [...]
