Two years ago, I finally realized why my syrup-filled, cream-topped, caffeine-packed Starbucks habit was leaving me bloated and in pain — it was lactose intolerance, which I hadn’t been aware of, or perhaps was just denying. On top of this new discovery, my reliance on caffeine was leaving me feeling fatigued, so I decided to switch up my hot […]

I’ve spent the past decade resolving to do better each year: Eat more vegetables; work out more often; stress less. These resolutions often failed, chiefly because they were hard to measure (how many servings constitute more vegetables?).

I have a love-hate relationship with January.  I can’t wait to begin the New Year with a fresh slate, a clean start, a new me.   It is a time to set goals, clean closets, shed extra pounds, re-evaluate, plan, organize and reacquaint myself with old friends—in my case, the gym.

It’s been a hectic month and I’ve done everything to contribute to the saggy wreck that freaks me out in the mirror. Booze in excess, dessert five times a day, packs and packs of cigarettes and way too many sleepless nights followed by tons of caffeine.

As the clock struck midnight on December 31, a close friend of mine declared that 2009 was our “year to shine”—and I couldn’t agree more.
