Interestingly, the exercise I’ve been doing lately has been decreasing my appetite. Today, for instance, I got up at 7:15 and had only a white chocolate mocha for breakfast (not healthy; I am going to make sure to at least grab an orange or something next time).

Ugh. Nothing is worse than wasting part of your vacation time being sick. Of course, I have had a great time with my family during this break. However, I could have done without catching my mom’s vicious cough and sore throat. Horrible!! Anyways, I’ve been taking olive oil mixed with garlic on crackers. My family [...]
Well, Christmas has come, and so has all the food that goes with it! I must admit, I have splurged a bit more than I probably should have, but it is the Holidays, after all.
