Vacation over. Sad face. Although…I get to come home to San Diego so I can’t complain ever too much. Thanks to all my amazing guest bloggers! I left you with some good stuff, huh? Boston was lovely, the yoga retreat was very zen, and over it was great to step outside my normal routine and [...]
How I Stir Fry
In my last post I talked about one of my two “go-to” meals, a big pot of yummy soup. I mentioned my other "go-to” was a big stir fry. Just like with my soup-making skillz, I feel like I’ve gotten pretty good at making a decent stir fry. I press a block of extra-firm tofu [...]
My New Blue Toy
Susan was right, I got a new camera! I went with the one I’d been eyeing, a Canon Powershot SD1200 IS. It’s so much faster and smaller (yet the screen is way bigger) than my other camera and although they say megapixels don’t matter that much, my old camera was 5 MP and this one [...]
Have Twitter, will Roast Chicken
UGH I had this whole post written and then Windows Live Writer gave out on me. Serves me right for not saving often enough! Tonight, I was going to pick up a rotisserie chicken for dinner, but when I got to the store, they were all out. Not wanting to drive to another store (what [...]
My New Crazy Endeavor, and Why I’m Becoming Popeye
In my last post I asked if you’ve ever done a workout that made you say “WTF AM I DOING” halfway through, and a few of you said yoga. Well, I think I have stumbled upon the craziest of “WTF yoga” out there—Bikram. A friend of mine talked me into going to a class, and [...]
Spur-of-the-Moment Detox Program
How is everyone’s week going? I am going to an open house tomorrow morning for the grad school program I’m interested in, so I’m a little nervous about that BUT I found out of my oldest friends (as in, I’ve known her the longest, she’s my age!) will be there too, so that’s pretty rad. [...]
Pinot and Pizza with the BFF
Happy Last Day of 2009! My week off is not nearly as relaxing (meaning, not nearly enough TV time) as I was hoping but I have been cooking and exercising, which were two things I wanted to do as much as possible without that pesky job getting in my way. Right now I’m mid-prep for [...]
Life in List Form
Hey! Remember me? I’m Hallie and I have a blog It’s finals time for Mitch which means editing time for Hallie. I love editing and proofreading, actually, so I don’t mind at all. But it means less time for blogging! (Side note, for you students out there, if you’re looking for reference info at the [...]
Healthy Twists at Dinner Parties
Well…this is a BIG week over in the Healthy Twists household. Last week of bootcamp! It’s been quite the 12 weeks, friends. I’ll go over my general reflections about my experience later this week, as well as the results of my final weigh-in, but I wanted to thank all of you who have stuck by [...]
I am SO Resourceful
Did everyone see my post on Health Blog Helper about Twitter? I had so much fun writing it…that’s how big of a nerd I am for Twitter. I was really thankful to Matt for giving me the opportunity to share what I’ve learned in my professional and personal use of Twitter over the past 10 [...]
