New Year's Resolution
How Are Your New Year's Resolutions Coming Along?
We are more than halfway through February, and I'm curious how your New Year's resolutions are coming along. Are your healthy goals for 2010 still intact or are they long forgotten? We're also midway through our Get Fit For 2010 community contest, where we provide a little guidance on healthy living and you have the chance to win cool prizes for participating.
Speak Up: What Healthy Habits Are Hard For You to Stick With?
Every time I go to the dentist, the hygienist asks the million-dollar question, "Have you been flossing every day?" I know she can tell by looking at my teeth and gums that the answer is no, but I think she asks just so I feel bad enough to actually remember to do it. I know it's recommended to floss at least once a day, but for some reason, I can only remember to do it a few times a week, which is why flossing daily is one of my healthy goals for 2010.
The Detox, Day 5: 6 Pounds Down, Spirits Up
I've just completed the final day of my five-day detox and while it wasn't always easy to control my junk food cravings, grumbly stomach, and penchant for hummus, it was all worth it in the end. As energetic and light-spirited as I feel now after all this hard work, I'm still looking forward to a celebratory cocktail (or two), along with a heaping plate of sushi, tomorrow evening. To find out what else I have to raise a glass to, as well as gripe about, just keep reading.
The Detox, Day 4: Everything's Illuminated
It's day four of my five-day detox, and while I have to admit that my stomach's still adjusting to consuming smaller portions, I'm not feeling nearly as hungry as I did on that awful second day. But, I do have a confession . .
The Detox, Day 3: Jury Duty Calls
While eating the same thing each day on my five-day detox has proven to be rather blasé, I have found ways to add excitement to my entrées, which mainly consist of the same old protein shakes and salads. However, a simple switch in lettuce variety, along with the mind-blowing addition of ice to my morning chocolate shakes, have proved to be all I need to turn my monotonous caloric intake around. It truly is the little things that count, agreed?

The Detox, Day 2: I'm Tired and It Shows
With change, there comes an adjustment period, no? And I do believe that this is what's happening to me. As I adapt to a lighter diet, free of sweets, alcohol, and excess anything (except salad), today I am feeling hungry, weary, and a bit unfocused.
The Detox, Day 1: A Farewell to Acne
Yesterday, I began my five-day journey to the land of detox, mostly in hopes of rejuvenating my lackluster complexion and recurring battle with chin and forehead acne. While I have realistic expectations, as I'm not anticipating perfectly flawless skin à la Reese Witherspoon in under a week, I chose the David Kirsch Wellness brand of detox just for that reason: it's a gentle detox, not a blow-through-your-system-with-fury type of cleanse.
Yesterday began with a grape-y flavored, vitamin-packed shot, a thick (almost too much so) chocolate-flavored protein shake for breakfast, and a train ride into work.
Try It: Run an Extra Mile This Week
If you were up for my 30 push-up challenge, here's another one to take on. It's for all you runners out there who hit the treadmill or road regularly (running at least 10 miles a week). This Monday, vow to add an extra mile to your total mileage for the week.
