A Tea Drinker’s Transition to Coffee

In the beginning… When I started to rely on caffeine, I was sure that the only beverage that would do the job would be tea. I love the taste and smell of coffee but it just made me way too jittery. I always thought I was naturally caffeinated anyway and...

4 Post-Workout Rewards That Don’t Involve Unhealthy Food

You are not a dog. Don’t reward yourself with food. This  meme resonated with me internally. But following it externally was another challenge in and of itself.  It’s so easy to give into the myth that you deserve a cupcake or poutine after working out. It’s so easy to make this mistake time...

Kingston Made Me Love Ice Cream
There are very few foods that I  dislike. Until there was ice cream. Yes, I know what you’re thinking. How could I not like ice cream?  But it’s true.  I found it to be frozen sweetness that was sometimes freezer burned sweetness.  I would only have it with friends and family.
