The Beginning // How did this all begin?
My Bold Friends
I’m so excited! I want to post today about my three friends who are beginning their own 6 week challenge today! And I am doing it with them. And it makes me so happy. Two of them are doing the 6 week challenge, the third friend is gathering information for a later start-date. All three...
Emily’s Green Monster Smoothie
When you make a Green Monster Smoothie, don’t bother with measurements. Just go for it. My sister-in-law said that I should open my own Green Monster Smoothie bar at our local Farmer’s Market. I think it’s a brilliant idea! Maybe this Spring? *** My $20 Oster blender works just fine for me! You don’t need...
Can I do this by myself?
When I decided to do the Grand Experiment and eat a strictly nutritarian diet for 6 weeks, I was skeptical. But I was also very hopeful. I realize how lucky I am that I had Joe to support me and that he also wanted to achieve the same goal, reap the same rewards. It was...
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?...
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...
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...
