Jennifer

Jennifer's first food-related memory is of ordering two shrimp cocktails in a row as a five-year-old on vacation with her parents in New York. Now a freelance writer who lives in Manhattan, Jennifer has always weighed in as average for her height and stayed in reasonable physical shape, but the 28-year-old has recently noticed a difference in her metabolism, and can feel and see her body changing. Balancing her lifelong love of food, from fast food barbecue to black truffles, with living a healthy, active lifestyle, is an ongoing challenge. In 2007, she hopes to cook a healthy meal at least once a month, strengthen her core, and neither dread nor avoid the gym. Jennifer writes regularly about food on her blog – www.SlicesofMe.Blogspot.com.
