Not too long ago I came home to this beauty on my door step.  And not too long after that, they were all gone. It also came with this naked guy. Clif Bar sent me some of their new Luna Bar flavors and products to try out. I’m not just saying this because I got swag, but Luna Bars are my favorite bars of any brand. They are never too sweet which is a big turn off for me, and I’ve never tried a flavor I didn’t like. I immediately opened the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Luna Bar and was not disappointed.  In true Luna fashion, it wasn’t too sweet, and you could really taste the macadamia nut flavor.  I didn’t find any actual nuts, but there’s enough crunch that I didnt really miss them.

Oprah, Queen of the Universe, is up to 200 pounds. In her latest issue of O magazine, Oprah talks about, almost apologetically, her weight gain. While she sites her thyroid as an issue, she also admits that she hasn’t been watching what she is eating and isn’t exercising as much as she should. She says: “I’m embarrassed.

I received this question from Rebecca: I hear lots about using weight training to even out imbalances (of which I have a lot – my right side is a ton stronger than my left). Sooo … how exactly do you do this? It sounds like you would just work out the weaker side, but it feels weird not to do both. Before I had a chance to answer, Asithi stepped in offered her opinion which was right on the money: I have the same problem. My left arm is stronger since I bowl regularly with my left arm, but my left leg is weaker from an injury in a car accident. Talk about imbalances! I do not workout only one side of my body. When I do bicep curls, I use the same weight for both side. When I do squats, I hold the same weight. The only difference... [Read more]
