Feeding the Children
Chocolate Ganache Mint Brownies! Oh! The memory! It kills me almost....You gave me chocolate and now my body is hungry for more chocolate!
Drum Roll…The Great Weigh-In: Beginning Week Two
Joe and my beginning weight isn’t anything notable, but it is above our target healthy zone and the numbers on the scale were only climbing. As far as weight loss goes, we try not to make it the focus of our healthy eating plan, but I have to admit it is, naturally, a very motivating...
July 4th, How Do We Party?
Our friends are having a BBQ Potluck, yippy! Wait! What will we do? We’ll be surrounded! Before we decided to do this whole big healthy eating kick, Joe and I already talked about this. We hoped our friends would still invite us over and not be scared or worried about hosting us. We certainly do...
Cheats, Eats, Sleeps, Withdrawal: A Review of the First 3 Days
Today we begin our 4th day on this VegiCarni eating thang. Curious about how its been going so far? Here is the low down… Cheats: I’ve sneaked chocochips. Guilty. Got rid of those last night though, and consequently (I think) have suffered from a nasty headache a few hours after the 2 times I cheated....
Run Fast! Jump High! Swim Lots! Bike Far!
This is the time for us to make this kind of change. Roo is 5, and JoMax is 2, and they don’t know that Doritos are called Doritos, and they don’t know that after they go to bed we usually have a milkshake with chocolate raspberry chip ice cream and milk. Therefore, while the change...
What do you feed your kids?
So, Kory asked a great question: Are our kids on the same eating plan? Yes! Yes. And no. Basically they will eat the way we eat as long as they’re in our care (at home, traveling, picnic-ing, etc.). However, we will continue to buy them cow’s milk. Also, when at a friend’s house, or a...
And So It Begins…
Today’s the day! Aaaack! Joe and I are getting a routine blood test. It will measure cholesterol levels, among other kinds of fats, sugar levels, and other stuff that I can’t remember. But it will serve as a marker for where we were when we began. At the end of the six weeks we will...
My Inspiration, Part 2
I consider myself to be in average health. Whatever that means. I’m certainly not a role model, but neither am I sickly. Most of my friends are more athletic and active than I am, but I’m active too–not as consistently as I should or would like to be, though. A year and a half ago...
My Inspiration
Robin. She is my oldest sister. She has always, always been very beautiful. Gorgeous, really. She’s the whole package. Inside, outside, intelligent, funny, compassionate. Everyone needs a sister like Robin. I feel this way about all my sisters. I hope my Roo gets to have at least one sister! Anyway, I was very interested when...
The Six Week Plan
So, what is the plan anyway? Well, the basic idea behind it is that you should eat plenty of healthful, nutrient packed foods, and avoid foods that are high in calories but empty in nutrients. Makes sense, huh? But without a plan, I’m pretty sure I’ll be making brownies by the middle of the second...
