While scanning for some ideas to blog on, I came across two very creative ideas. A project for kids to get their hands into. Let them help decorate the Thanksgiving table or even create an alternative and fun dessert option. You may wander why the nutritionist is promoting candy or any form of processed food for that matter. Mmm, it certainly is not my favourite form of nutrition, but then again, it is a day of celebration and perhaps giving the kids a project may keep then out your hair […]
4 Keys For a Healthy Marathon Runner’s Diet
Image via Wikipedia Training for a marathon or half marathon can ask a lot of your body. Your body may be in some state of recovery almost continuously. If you are eating exactly what you should be now, you may need to take in more calories. But more important than how much you are eating is WHAT you are eating and WHEN.

Finally got to my pre-pregnancy weight
Hi Ilana, Well considering the week was full of work travel and other distractions, I lost two pounds! It’s great to be at my goal weight after 16 years (all I’ve wanted was to be at my pre-pregnancy weight but just could not get there). I’m sure that the weight loss, never mind sound nutrition, helped me achieve my PR last week. Thanks again! Vida
