SUGAR: Is Sugar Killing Us?
My friend and I were watching this video and texting back and forth: “I am mesmerized by this video on HFCS” “WOW” “I can’t stop watching this, I should be doing other stuff” “This is fascinating” “This is exactly what I need to watch right now” The information is astonishing. I have found that since...
Making a change.
I am more likely to set myself up for success when I make a big change if I: -Figure out what my motivations are -Understand what realistic outcomes to expect -Make it public -Make it personal, even spiritual I decided to try a nutritarian eating plan after reading my sister Robin’s blog for a few...
So…What do you want?
Do you: -Want to have more energy? -Want to FEEL GOOD? -Want to think more clearly? -Want to be thin, trim, beautiful? -Want to feel comfortable and pretty in your clothes? -Want to be free, live more freely? -Want to have fewer allergies? Fewer aches and pains? -Want to live a longer, healthier, happier life?...
Shiny Skinny Skin Skin
My skin is silky soft and shiny. I like it! I especially notice it on my hands. I think I notice it more because I’m always washing them, and they get cracked and dry and rough, but not so much lately! Brag brag brag. Sorry, I can’t help myself.
The Payoff! The Cure?
Here are a few payoffs I’ve noticed so far, but I’m not claiming they’re totally connected to eating this super healthy way though I’m inclined to think so myself. This has not been any sort of scientific experiement, but it has been a personal one none-the-less. Eczema gone. I should note that I have been...
July 4th Recap: How to Behave at a Party
Remind yourself: Of course there will be a piñata full of CANDY. Did you doubt? This is the 4th of July after-all!
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!
Dear Diary of Food Related Stuff
11:08 am – I don’t think twice about taking off my shirt at Joey’s AquaTots “lesson” (basically some dads and moms sit in the kiddie pool with their children and the lifeguards come by and say, “Good job, Joey, high five!” whenever he gets a new part of his body wet). It’s not that I’m...
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...
Thoughts from Day 1
1. I need to stop using the word “vegan.” It freaks people out. Over the next few weeks I’m going to be testing out: “nutritarian,” “nutrient dense,” and “no fun,” as in, “So what’s this diet you’re on?” “Oh, it’s the no fun plan.” and “Grow up and get on the no fun plan! Stop...
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...
