Follow Bargainista's love/hate relationship with the NutriSystem Challenge...
It’s Week 3 of our NutriSystem Challenge. I admit to a little frustration with my small loss. I am still struggling with getting in 8 glasses of water, although I do great some days. Good news: I cut back to a half glass of wine with dinner on the occasional night.

"I am Woman - hear me roar!" Apparently we don't all agree. For all the attention natural beauty has been getting, it seems we invoke our feminine right to show a little inconsistency if we're not exactly thrilled with our natural selves. So claims WebMD, anyway...

An important reminder from Fabulously Broke in the City...
Just the other day, a part of Toronto died in a fire (no one was hurt, thank god), but a whole section of the city burned down, about 12 buildings I heard? (Correct me, Canucks!)
