I spend a lot of time on the computer. Craig keeps a sharp eye on the bandwidth usage and tells me I’m addicted. Sigh. He just doesn’t get it! Look at all the fabulous things I’ve been reading!
Have you seen the world’s coolest flight attendant video? I want to fly Southwest Airlines!
I’ve been saying this for a long time, but now studies once again confirm that all calories were not created equal. What you eat matters as much as how much you eat.
This post made me cry. Kim had been sneaking food and lying about it to her friends, but realized that friendship was more important than food. Great post! It made me look at my past behavior in a whole new light.
Have you joined the Meatless Monday Campaign yet? You should! Check out all the reasons, and some excellent recipes, on their website. Stella McCartney says:
It’s ok to just give up meat for one day, it doesn’t make you a vegetarian if you hate vegetarians, it doesn’t make you a cranky, hemp wearing pot smoker. It’s alright, it’s allowed – it doesn’t make you a kind of the person you don’t want to be. It just means you are doing something positive.
This article made me so happy that I don’t eat frozen dinners. I don’t want any of that stuff in my glorious body, or as Crazy Sexy Kris Carr calls it, my God-pod.
Dr. Frank Lipman wrote a wonderful article in The Huffington Post about the 2 questions to ask that are more important than a diagnosis when we’re confronted with health issues. He’s most definitely my kind of doctor!
BBC News featured a great article about the weight loss industry. It’s well worth a read!
That’s just some of the enlightening and informative things I’ve read recently.
If you’re not reading Jack Sh*t, Getting Fit yet, you should! He makes me laugh every single day!
I found it curious that quite a few of my fellow bloggers went through a rough patch emotionally this week, just like I did. But they all seem to have made it through stronger and more determined than ever. Onwards we march!
For my American Friends, have a great holiday weekend! And for the Canadians, I hope you enjoyed Canada Day!
Turned off the tv here and now I’m addicted to the pc as well. At least we have control over content. What’s not to love with all these great links you posted for us today. Thank you!
*God-pod* I LOVE THAT!
agreed about the Jack*man.

I freely admit to being addicted to the computer. We use it for everything. School work, friends, entertainment, phone book you name it. I will give up a lot before giving up my computer ( maybe a husband or 1st born – JUST KIDDING!! ) But seriously it bring so much information to our finger tips how can we not help but learn something with it.
Enjoy your addiction LOL

Your quote on vegetarians cracks me up…
I think it’s one of the reasons i dislike labels….
I don’t smoke pot (never have), I eat hemp stuff but never wear it and if I am cranky …. it’s not because I ate a carrot!
hahaha
so much stigma on what we eat wear drive, live…. it’s too bad.
and I am a computer-techie ADDICT. don’t need TV…just need my MAC!

Hi Hanlie,
I’m really happy to have found your blog. The links were excellent.
NewMe´s last blog ..Down to My Highest Weight
The What You Eat link refers to the book Volumetrics. I read that several years ago and agreed with it so much. I’d rather have high-volume food as opposed to calorie-laden junk that’s not filling.
Jo´s last blog ..I Can’t Read
Thanks for the links! i will check them out!

Hi Hanlie
Joey here, from Meatless Monday. I just wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed reading this great post on our campaign. I really like how upfront you are on Fertilehealthy about your personal health story. I feel that we share common ground in both of our focus on nutrition in the name of preventing disease. We’ve featured and linked to Fertile Healthy on the Meatless Monday homepage, in our selection of Who’s Going Meatless. Check it out: http://www.meatlessmonday.com/whos-going-meatless/
As you’ve mentioned, the Meatless Monday Movement has been gaining traction and we’re gaining some notable followers, including the McCartneys and Michael Pollan- who recommended Meatless Monday as the #1 way to Go Green with your plate on Oprah’s Earth Day Special. We really appreciate bloggers like you who help to spread the word about how a small behavior change like cutting meat once a week, can make a big difference both for your health and our planet.
Many foodie bloggers think it’s fun to do a weekly Meatless Monday feature, where they make a healthy meatless recipe and post about it, along with stories, or pictures, or videos of how their tasty culinary concoction came to be. Do you think this is something you’d be interested in doing?
I’d love to stay in more direct contact with you, so that we are able to better coordinate outreach efforts. Please email me back at jlee@mondaycampaigns.org if you’re interested in doing a weekly Meatless Monday post.
Thanks!
