This blog is for my friends - and their friends - a resource for random comments mostly focused on nutritional information, but would include related areas of overall health, exercise and attitude. I am dedicated - and have always been - to helping anyone who asks about any of these subjects, and if I don't know the answer, I will find it for you. So, ask away...m.

How am I going to make it??
Sorry I'm so late today, but I've been at the dentist having my teeth whitened. The good news is they look white (what a relief!) and it didn't irritate my gums like I thought it would; the bad news is I can't have any red wine, coffee or chocolate for three days - it's going to be a LONG three days! Actually, I can sip these through a straw, which I will definitely do for the coffee because I have to have it in the mornings, but I just can't bring myself to drink red wine through a straw - it's been a really, really long time since I've done that (if ever), so I guess I'll just have to stick to white wine - it's too hot anyway for red wine - see, there's a solution to every problem...but, back to the coffee - I'm sure I won't be sipping coffee all morning long through a straw, so what to drink? I am ALWAYS drinking something, and I have the best new drink - it's SoBE Lifewater in Fuji Apple Pear, and it's just the best! You know, you can only drink plain water for so long, and many other beverages don't count towards your water intake because they either have caffeine (which dehydrates you), or other added items (sugar, phosphorous, carbonation - things that your body doesn't readily use to flush things out of your system in the form of sweat or the other way); but this DOES count - it is calorie-free, has some fat-burners (which makes it perfect!!), and tastes GREAT! The sweetener is stevia, a natural sweetener, and so refreshing that I (hopefully) won't miss the extra coffee in the mornings - now, if I could just do something about the chocolate!! Melissa
