Slim Down With Susan Antonacci: Week # 6
My Four Best Fruits! As I forge ahead in the Canadian Living 6-Week Slim Down, I’m discovering fruits (ie., goji berries) that I’ve seldom included in my diet – and rediscovering old favourites that haven’t made an appearance in my kitchen in a long time.

Generally the source of our un-satisfaction is our weight, and when we’re fixating on flabby arms, breasts that are too small, a flat butt or a larger midsection, it doesn’t do good things for our self-esteem.

Blue Monday: Fact or fiction?
Today is Blue Monday. A day where all my worries and fears are supposed to culminate, leaving me feeling the lowest I’ve ever felt. Today, I’m told, the weather will depress me, I’ll feel totally stressed out because of Christmas-time debt and I’ll feel horribly guilty that I haven’t kept my New Year’s resolutions. But [...]
