i have really been trying hard these last few weeks to drop a few lbs. my annual trip to miami for art basel is rapidly approaching. it always seems i need some sort of special occasion or vacation to get my butt in gear. i recently bought a treadmill and have picked back up running. i really love it. it feels so good to sweat. and walking, quite frankly doesn't do that. i have been eating a salad almost every night (weekends excluded, of course) with some sort of lean protein. in order for it to be filling and satisfying, i add a ton of different vegetables, beans, nuts. this salad is full of artichokes, broccoli, asparagus, chick peas, walnuts (which, by the way, is said to help reduce breast cancer), tomatoes, carrots, celery, cucumbers, and lord knows what else. and you know what? it's been working. i have lost 5 lbs so far, and actually go to bed satisfied and full. a requirement for any meal i consume!
