Recently, I posted on The Great American Eat Right Challenge. So, when I came across this list by Alisa Miller, on the 100 Best Foods For Women, I immediately knew I wanted to share it here. With one hundred foods to choose from, there is something for everyone. Are you trying to eat healthy? Maybe you could pick a few of the foods on this list, and add them to your diet?

I've been doing pretty good on my...Not really a diet, diet. Basically, I have lost most of the weight I had gained since last year's BlogHer conference. It's really amazing how easy it is to gain twenty pounds when you're not looking. I blame it on the whole love/hate relationship with my scale thing. Anyway, now I am faced with a dilemma...To diet, or not to diet, at the BlogHer conference?

Back in March, I told you about yet another invisible illness that I've had the pleasure of being diagnosed with. Fibromalgia. It was then, that I learned of the 20+ pounds I had put on in less than a year. And it wasn't like I was at my ideal weight before that time either. For the first time in my life, I actually weighed more than I did when I was pregnant.

About eight weeks ago I posted about how I started a pre-diet. I was trying to get reacquainted with the taste of healthy foods, and wean myself off of sugar. As far as that goes, I feel like I'm doing pretty well, I've even lost some weight.

With the value of a dollar going down, and gas prices going up, the ability to make healthy food choices is getting more and more costly. Now that we are spending more money at the pump, we have less to spend at the grocery store, and many are resorting to just buying the cheapest food they can get their hands on.

"Studies show that consumption of aspartame is linked to short-term memory loss," my friend told me one afternoon as I sipped a cup of tea. Since I like my tea sweet (and milky), but I don't want the calories from sugar, I usually put a packet or two of Equal in my hot beverages. Steph loves sweet tea, too, but hates artificial sweeteners. This does not stop her from putting 10 teaspoons of sugar in her glasses. Unlike me, she doesn't care if the real deal causes her to weigh a pound or two more in the long run.

For the last few weeks I've been making an attempt at eating healthy. And usually this is where I would tell you that I've failed miserably. But, I'm happy to report that I have actually been doing pretty well. I think it is in part because, around the same time I decided that I couldn't afford to gain another pound, I got an email from Elaine Magee. Funny how we get what we need, just when we need it.

Motivation is the number one thing we all need if we are going to be successful at losing weight. But, it's also the number one thing that tends to slip through our fingers and land us back in the cookie jar.

In the process of tangling with some bloggers around social software, a new service called FriendFeed and the experience of lifestreaming data, I ended up going deep into Stephanie Quilao’s blog, Back in Skinny Jeans, and reading a series of entries from 2006 that chronicled her rape by a co-worker at a Silicon Valley firm and the subsequent pain, suffering and dysfunction that followed in

Tonight I am surfing the BlogHer Health and Wellness Blogroll. There are so many great blogs, I wish I could tell you about every one...But you could always do a little surfing yourself. So, in no particular order, here are eleven blogs that are new to me. Delicious Wisdom...

Women are certainly used to talking about their bodies. But what would you say if you were talking to your body? That’s the question at the heart of the new “Letter to My Body" campaign, which encourages women to write letters to their bodies and join a groundbreaking conversation about how each and every one of us can promote positive body image in our own lives.
