Wings!!!!! (and fries with gravy)
Yay!! Day 7! We did it, team! We survived on just fruits and veggies for all 7 days of our 7-day detox! ^_^
Tonight, we celebrated together with 3 baskets of wings and food! Real food!

I have so much respect for vegetarians and vegans everywhere around the world after going through nearly a week of detox and eating just fruits and veggies. It is difficult to find different ways of preparing and choosing different veggies to eat! I still can’t wait to eat some solid meat tomorrow and enjoy anything I want again. 🙂 Continue reading
Today was a difficult day. Either it’s been said that the first day is the hardest, or the third day, or the fourth day, or the fifth day. With all these different opinions, I guess there’s really no set day to call it a “difficult” day for a detox. For me, Day 5 was a toughie.
I felt so sleepy, a little hungry, and irritated above all for most of the afternoon. Continue reading
Hong Kong. August 2009
Street life: This is a classic view of what Hong Kong looks like: Metropolis, urban, people, cars, traffic, noise, motion, never-ending activity, and a city that doesn’t sleep.
Homemade!
This is the first thing I’ve made from scratch in a long, long time: Broccoli and cauliflower mash for the fourth day of my 7-day detox! Woohoo! :O) We’re more than halfway through the detox now and I honestly don’t feel that starved or deprived of food. Of course, when I opened my cabinet this morning to find some cutlery, Continue reading
The green juice makes a comeback on Day 3 of my March detox! One of my very first posts as a blogger featured a green juice. Click and read it here! Back then, I went through a phase where I was addicted to juicing fruits and vegetables every morning since it was a fast way to get all my nutrients in one meal, or rather in one glass. Even though at the time, I had every intention of continuing to juice every single day because of its apparent health reasons, as with most sudden phases, they tend to go out sooner or later.
Beets!
Hello Day 2 of my very first detox!!
Last night, without any carbs or protein in my body and only fruits and veggies and water, I started getting a headache and feeling a little light-headed. It’s actually a normal detox reaction and was due to the lack of blood sugar in my system (the headache should clear up by the second or third day). Continue reading
I’ve never done a detox program before. As part of the one-year anniversary of my blog and becoming a weight fat loss coach recently, I decided that this would be the perfect way to celebrate a year’s milestones on this primarily foodie blog and to launch off a healthy lifestyle. It’s almost like, hey, my food blog has reached 1 year old now? Continue reading

I went to Il Fornello for a late lunch the other day. I’ve been to the King Street location of Il Fornello before and quite enjoyed my Summerlicious dinner in 2010, so I knew the Italian food, especially with it being a chain restaurant, would be up to par in terms of food quality and service.

Wow! How appropriate is this week’s photo challenge for me. Yesterday, March 21, marked the one-year anniversary of my blog. There’s definitely been a slew of reflections on the past year considering how much I’ve been blogging my life adventures through words and pictures through these 365 days.
For this week’s challenge, I present a picture that shows me “reflecting” and also shows the reflection of the water. Continue reading
