Our simple but tasty dinner will be the subject of today's post: Grapefruit Fennel Salad with a honey mustard dressing . The tanginess of the grapefruit goes really well with the licorice-y taste of fennel. 1. Cut 1 grapefruit into large-ish chunks 2. Cut 1/2 fennel bulb into strips (I used them all the way to the branches) 3. Mix 1 tbsp of raw honey, 1 tbsp of cold-pressed olive oil, with 1 tsp of stone ground mustard, pinch of salt and pepper to taste 4. Mix sauce in with grapefruit and fennel and mix well (I threw in some romaine lettuce too) 5. Serves 2! Also, we also went to go see the Charles Darwin biopic, Creation , today, I highly suggest you go see if, it it if seems like something that would be of interest to you. To think that someone would publish such a theory at the height of religious zealoutry in England is quite ballsy if you ask me. It's also kind of scary to think that it's only playing in independent theaters in the US because it was deemed too contro...

Lovin' the snow days! Love 'em so much I get another one tomorrow! Great thing is that the gym is still open so I got to start up my super 12 week workout plan. I'm amazed by how easily I can get through workouts now, how motivated I am to go to the gym, and just how far I've come since I started working out regularly now about 5 or 6 years ago. Workout of the Day (very slightly amended workout from Sam Omidi's website , I'm getting a lot of my ideas from him this time) - 5 minute warm-up on elliptical (moderate intensity) -10 minutes of interval training on treadmill (1 minute sprints and rests) -Ab Cycle: Stability Ball Crunch x 15 Stability Ball Rollout x12 Straight Leg Raises x 12 Stability Ball Back Extensions x 10 30 second plank for each side (front, left, & right side) -5 minutes of jump rope (requires a lot more coordination than you think to do it non-stop!) -Second Ab Cycle Repeat-10 minutes of interval training on elliptical (same as earlier, but...

First off, I love that feeling when you first get info rmed that you have no school. I remember getting up in the morning as a kid, running downstairs to ask my dad if the news said we had school, waiting impatiently for the verdict. Whenever I knew a big storm was coming, I was the kind of kid who would run out on the deck and do a snow dance (okay... maybe I still kind of do them) just to increase my luck. I just got an email saying that we don't have classes for the second day in a row, and though I'm the first person who'll say I actually do love to go them, I'm as a giddy as a five year old right now! Yep, this is what we're getting hit by: Winter wonderland aside, I did promise that today I would be unveiling my super new 12 week workout/food program. So what am I doing exactly? Workout: Nothing very different from the usual actually, I just scoured some of my favourite workout books, old routines of mine and websites for ideas yesterday, and I've tried ...
