A workout that can burn up to 900 calories per minute AND I'm toning and lengthening!!!
I HAD to share my excitement about Corey Hill's kettlebells workout! A kettlebell workout can burn up to 20 calories per minute so you can do the math on a 45 minute class! It is hard and non stop but Corey keeps you focused and makes it fun so time just flies. By the time class is over, you're standing in a little puddle of sweat!

Super Simple Goji Juice
Dried goji berries are subtle, sweet, high in antioxidants, and great at helping balance out blood sugar levels.

Goji Juice is a great base for smoothies, salad dressings, and all sorts of other creative kitchen concoctions too. Here's the recipe.

No One Wants to Workout For Their Health, Apparently
Last week's New York Times reported that exercise was basically magic, and urged us all to exercise for the sake of our health. Today, the New York Times is back, reporting, that unfortunately, no one wants to do anything for the sake of their health. As one motivational psychologist puts it: "The ‘health’ and ‘weight-loss’ brand of exercise doesn’t create desire in people to exercise on a daily basis. It makes the behaviors feel like a chore and a ‘should,’ which undercuts our desire to do them." But apparently we're not all doomed to be fat Muggles who won't work out just because it's good for us. There is an answer. And that answer is twofold: fun and friends. If you work out with friends and your workout is something you find fun, that's when the enchantment begins.
Karma and kids playing
Late Thursday afternoon, my wallet slipped out of my bag in a taxi..... With luck, the person who got into the cab after me was an honest person and he phoned to tell me that he had my wallet and it was in good hands. Wow! good karma!
