My Journey

On the weekend of Oct 16 – 18 2009 I had the pleasure of attending PHAT (Power, Hard work, Attitude and Triumph) Camp hosted by Jen Hendershott - Ms. Fitness International 2009. I have attended PHAT Camp for 3 years now. It always amazes me that every year the experience is so different and I learn a little more about myself and the great things I can accomplish. This year was extra special for me because I got to introduce my new love to my fellow campers and that love is Cookin Greens. I think Cookin Greens is the best thing since sliced bread and so do my fellow PHAT Campers here are some their comments:

Rose said “This is frozen kale? I made fresh kale last night and this tastes exactly the same!”

Janice said “I went home and ate a whole bag of kale it was so good”.

Here is Jen Hendershott enjoying her Greens and Jen say “MMMMMMMMM Good”.



The Phat Camp Ladies love Cookin Greens:



To all the girls out there who think they CAN’T do something, take that word out of you vocabulary NOW. Three years ago I was sitting in a parking lot, full of anxiety about attending my first Phat Camp. I felt I didn’t belong, wouldn’t make friends and that everyone would question why I was there. I sat in my car for over 30 minutes berating myself. I finally got the courage to get out of my car. Thankfully I did as that was my first step on my new journey to better health, better beliefs and finding my passion. Here I am now, 3 years later, pursuing an education in Holistic Nutrition, promoting a product that I believe in and speaking in public (and being told I’m a natural at it!). I couldn’t see this point in my life back then, but I now believe that if you follow your heart it will always lead you to great things and real happiness.

So girls get rid of those fears, test the waters and follow your heart. We all deserve to find and live our passion.

The pill has turned women into wanting pansies…I guess it’s fitting for this day and age

So I was getting my daily dose of The Toronto Star’s online newspaper (even though I hate their new format) and came across this article http://www.healthzone.ca/health/yourhealth/women'shealth/article/707513--pill-puts-women-off-macho-men-study-shows.

In short, it’s about how they did a study on how women who are on the pill are more likely to be attracted to a more feminine, boyish type of man like Zac Effron as opposed to a more macho type of man like Steve McQueen (who was freakin crazy anyways). They mention Leo DiCaprio as the more feminine type, so right there you know they don’t know what they’re talking about…anyone see The Departed and all of the hot models he dates? DAAAMN!

They go on to say that when women are not ovulating, they look for a man that will be in it for the long haul, more caring, feminine and more like them…oh, you mean a gay man? WTF is that about? They never get into what the contents in the pill are that leads to this ridiculousness. Considering it seems that half of the women who are looking for a partner are probably on the pill, is this really a fair study? And for those women that are not on the pill, were they just older studies and can’t be bothered with the whiny feminine type?

I’ve been on the pill for 13 years now and completely disagree. Even though I find Zac Effron cute and pretty, I would never date someone who makes love with the camera the way he does. I actually prefer the more macho, do-it-yourself type of guy and they seem to be few and far between. This upcoming generation of men, have been babied by mommy, so maybe it’s not because we’re on the pill, maybe it’s because our choice in the brutish man is seriously lacking.

Facebook and Dating

There are times in a Single Gals life when she realizes that it may not be so bad being single in this world of Interweb chaos. It seems more and more these days that Facebook is causing much unrest amongst couples because of comments being posted, the cyber drinks being bought and all the facebook poking. Is this a new form of cheating for couples? Is it harmless that Susie keeps poking Roger an old high school crush while she’s married to Bill? Should Bill worry? What the hell is the purpose of the poke anyway? Are you poking someone just to get their attention, is it flirting? God I hope not I have poked a few people only because I have been poked so I poked back. Wow it seems Facebook is disastrous even if you are Single because you may inadvertently be sending out some weird cyber flirt message without even knowing what you’re doing. I know once my status changes from Single to into a relationship my Facebook days are over.

I hate Facebook. I recently hooked up with an ex boyfriend via Facebook, who turned out to be a bigger douchebag than we when first dated. I’m sure there are successful Facebook hookups (just like the Kelly Hildebrandt and Kelly Hildebrandt story http://www.thestar.com/living/article/669304 ...LOL...we’ll see how this one turns out!), just like there are successful online dating hookups, but seriously, what has happened to good old fashion face to face meetings? Now you have to pay over $1000 to get some strange company to set up a face to face date (It’s Just Lunch is one example). It took me a long time to get on Facebook and by the time I did, the phenomenon had definitely cooled off for my 30 something friends (although I still know some die hards). I think Facebook can be a great thing, for school projects, groups, hooking up with old friends, memorials, viral marketing etc. but maybe we should just leave it at that. Don’t try the romance/cheating thing via Facebook, especially when your actual significant other is your “friend” and will probably (and hopefully) figure it out. And for you “wanna be” or “existing” cheaters (you know who you are), don’t leave coy little messages on his/her or your Profile page that you think only your secret lover understands (and it’s just freakin lame and immature). There’s no such thing as anonymity anymore – and people aren’t stupid, they will figure it out. Leave your cheating ways to dirty motels and copy-room lovin…in saying that, what happened to the good old days of cheating too?

Fat Free Nachos

If you’re a regular Single Gals follower you will have noticed the we love Nachos and beer. Well ladies I have found fat free nachos, what not possible you say? Oh it is possible, I ask you this do you see any fat on this Nacho?


















This is Nacho Figueras professional Polo player and model for Ralph Lauren’s Polo. This man rides a horse and hits balls..now that is hot! No only is he fat free but I think the dirty thoughts that he invokes will also burn a few calories.

2009 Summer Highlights

Ladies I am sad to say that summer is over. It’s time to pack away our cute little summer dresses and flip flops. Hopefully we can squeeze one last patio outing before we drag out the sweaters and wooly tights. This summer I had no plans, no expectation and it turned out to be a great summer. Here are some of my summer highlights:






And the OOOOOH LA LA the view at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower...
