You know, it’s like the whole world is conspiring against me this week, particularly as I want and need to follow through my little detox program, after all those unneeded carbs I ate in the previous days.
Because there is sugar in the office yet again!
Yesterday, it was a co-worker bringing a home-made plum pie, which […]

Sometimes, it seems to me that weight loss and learning better eating/living/exercising habits is much like training your dog: she’ll pick up some things faster than others, and it’s almost impossible to tell why she’ll be quietly waiting for you to walk out instead of running in your legs to be the first out, and […]

You decide you want to improve your body and live a healthier lifestyle. You read all the books, gather all the information, map out a nutritional strategy, design your own workout schedule (or have a trainer do it for you), and you embark on the journey to a leaner, more muscular physique…and it starts working! […]

Today, I did something that I’ve never done before: I digged in my kitchen trashcan for food.
And then I promptly went “WTF?!”… but I still used the food afterward.

Here we are again. I postponed updating the blog because there was another website I’ve had to revamp for ages, and I wanted to get out of the way. Now that it’s done, it’s time to pay attention to that little baby here again.
These past days, I’ve been pondering an article that has been circulating […]

I was browsing a couple of older posts on a blog I recently discovered, when a particular post reminded me of something that happened to me in a clothing store last month. I felt this could be worth sharing, so here goes.
I was in that store, browsing through various kinds of pants, since all of […]

We all have our weigh-in patterns–if only by necessity, since not caring about our weight is, for lots of us, part of what has contributed to let us gain too much weight before fully realizing it. Some of us do it every day. Some several times a day. Others once a week, twice a week, […]

That little anecdote came back this very morning, as I was getting dressed up for work. Because, yes, a pair of trousers I’ve bought about one month ago is starting to slide on my hips too. It’s both good news and very aggravating, since I really can’t afford to buy a whole wardrobe again this […]

(I wasn’t planning on posting this here at first, I admit, but since it turned out differently than what I had in mind at first, and therefore becoming suitable for this blog, I guess I can add today’s post without shame.)
The more I think of it, the more I’m starting to get kind of pissed-off […]

This made me chuckle, and I felt like sharing it. I probably shouldn’t laugh. But it kind of shed so much light on the way our society is functioning that I prefer to laugh, rather than to weep.
We’re about 12 people living on this story of the building, and it isn’t seldom, in the evening, […]
