In 1954 psychologist William Sheldon classified people’s body types and then associated the body type with typical temperaments. It went like this…. Ectomorphic bodies are bananas.

We’re not here to cause trouble BUT we think setting reasonable and very attainable goals for 2011 is a good idea. Why? You ask. Perhaps you’re saying…”I’m going to be a size zero! I’m going to run an Ironman. I’m going to guest star on Oprah!” See that’s awesome and we want you to aim [...]

Back by popular demand – while trying to spice up the drudgery of the dreaded food journal we decided to pretend it was also a note to our Vampire/Werewolf Fantasy Boyfriend.  In other words  if Bella Swan had a food journal…. More ways to make logging your food fun!
