If I had to eat boring salads everyday or “diet” foods, I’d go nuts. One way I find motivation is by getting creative in the kitchen and turning my trigger/nemesis foods into healthy fun options.
My choice today, pizza, of course! I love pizza, I mean I really LOVE it. It’s the one food item [...]

A few days ago I wrote a post about how my water consumption has dropped since being home most of the day. To help solve the problem, and consequently help get me out of this funk that I’ve been in, I came up with the water pitcher idea.
