It’s important to make sure you take care of both your physical and mental health to get the maximum benefit. You can work out four times a week, but if you aren’t doing what you can to battle stress, anxiety, or emotional issues, you won’t feel as good as you possibly can.   There are several ways you can focus

By: Feli Musing Rice and gungu peas (pigeon peas or gandules) has been one of my favorite side dishes for as long as I could remember.  Love is the marriage of rice, gungu peas and coconut milk penetrating nostalgia.  However, I have found that white rice loves to hold on to my body fat as much as I love to hold on to its aroma in my mind.  During my first successful weight loss journey (there have been several), I started a new love affair with quinoa, though I partake in
