Walking the strip can make you hungry. If you’re like me, when you’re starving, you want your food pretty quickly. No wait, no fuss. In Vegas, I prefer a restaurant that’s not too crowded if I had the option. After walking shoulder to shoulder in a large crowd, the last thing I need is to feel like that in a

Well, I can’t believe it but my 30 day meal plan has come to an end. Overall, I did feel like I had more energy & I liked eating healthier. However, the diet said I’d lose 10 lbs. It never happened. I weigh the same as when I started. I started doing interval training too & nothing. Yes it’s good

I said to the man do you speak my language/he just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich… No trip to Oz would be complete without writing about their ever popular vegemite. The first time I heard that word was ages ago, with my hair still in pigtails & most likely drawing in a coloring book as Men At Work’s

I’m not hitting the malls for the latest sales today. I didn’t go snowboarding in Mammoth over the weekend. Instead, today I begin a 30 day meal plan. I admit right now, I gained a lot of weight during my trip to Australia. I was on vacation. I wasn’t counting calories, I was enjoying myself & yes going up for

The cool thing about going to a foreign country is seeing what they have to offer. Another thing of course is how they take a different spin on standard favorites. Sydney has a wide selection of Asian & European cuisine. We wanted to see how these meals compare to how we do it back home. Enter Caminetto, an Italian restaurant

Our Frommer’s Australia guide described Cafe Sydney as a bustling restaurant with beautiful views of the harbor since it sat atop a large building across from Circular Quay. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you about the great views as we didn’t have a reservation! The good news was we were able to sit at the lounge area. Cushy chairs and tiny
