For those who may not know, my mom has been battling breast cancer since Spring of 2008. In 2008, she underwent surgery to remove her right breast and about 16 to 18 lymph nodes from her armpit that may or may not have been cancerous (apparently they neglected to test any of them and took… Read more

I found a cool app for android or iPhone that you can use to scan food and it will tell you if the food is healthy or not. It grades the food, and if it’s bad, it gives you better alternatives. Very cool. It’s called fooducate. Check it out. I’ve been having a lot of… Read more

I thought I had seen Food Matters before, but after watching it last night I realized I hadn’t seen it before, but I wish I had since it is an amazing documentary! I learned a lot about how much food matters, and how through juicing and vitamins, you can reverse cancer and other chronic diseases.… Read more

In Kung Fu last night, I learned more on my Eagle Claw Form: Small Cotton Fist Form. I’m actually only learning the bow to the form, so far, but the bow itself is pretty extensive and contains 5 or 6 kicks in it. I learned the first two kicks last night, where you have to… Read more

Feeling good though, and he is a pretty decent motivator throughout his workouts. Makes me miss Kung Fu, though.… Read more

Yuck. Of course, Hungry For Change starred people like Kris Carr and Joe Cross, who did their own… Read more

Monday night is Forms night in Kung Fu. Vince and I go together and do both classes, so we are there working out for two hours every Monday. I love Forms night though since usually you get more added onto the form you’re learning, AND we get to do all the forms we know so… Read more

I cleaned my apartment yesterday, dusted and mopped everywhere. Scrubbed the bathroom top to bottom. Not quite crazy workout, but some exercise none the less. Check out this website about cleaning is exercise. 🙂 Read more

About an hour ago, I finished the Pure Cardio Insanity Video, at the end Shaun T said That sh*t was bananas! and I totally agree. Even he was having a hard time with the workout, which makes me feel better. Makes me wish I didn’t forget about swimming this morning. Somehow swimming seems easier than… Read more
