The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
Whew, it’s almost Friday! I’m so glad after another weird and busy week at work. I’ve been in a stressed out funk the last two days with so much going on and I’m pretty sure the pups know it. They’ve been carefully watching and following me and being sweet little lap buddies when I finally [...]
Happy 2013! I know, I’m a day late. But yesterday was a wonderful relaxing day at home. I went for a run to break in my new shoes, played games, watched movies, and moved a couple of mountains completing house chores and taking down Christmas decorations. Thanks to the help of my mom, we had [...]
I’m sort of into seitan now because it’s as versatile and easy to prepare as tempeh while packing a lot protein – more than many meat products. I was pretty excited when I found a new seitan flavor to try this weekend from Sweet Earth Natural Foods. Why have I never tried any of their [...]
Yesterday was a nightmare, I felt like I got shot in the stomach most if the day and still recovering today. After a lengthy doctor’s appointment, turns out I had a bladder infection that was starting to wreak havoc on my kidneys, not fun! A day into antibiotics and I’m starting to feel human again. [...]
So far this has been a very laid back weekend and that’s alright with me because I’ve had a case of the blahs with so much going on at work and outside of work. I did get in a 5-mile run that went fine in my new shoes thankfully. And I snacked on popcorn flavored [...]
Even though I said I probably wouldn’t do another half marathon this year, I registered for one yesterday for the end of April. I’m a sucker, but I couldn’t resist when I got a company email looking for employees to join a newly created running team and run this half to raise money for a [...]
It seems the day after the Superbowl should be a national holiday off work, don’t you think? Even though I’m not a huge football fan, I was feeling the fun of last night’s party when my alarm went off this morning and dragged through the morning at work. But it was worth it. Before hubby [...]
In our last farm box, we got some unique looking yellow and green summer squashes. I assumed they tasted a lot like zucchini and took a gamble modifying a raw creamy zucchini soup recipe for these. The texture kind of looks like vanilla soft serve ice cream, that would be an interesting surprise! Because [...]
I’m a little sad our 3 day weekend is over, seems like I was just celebrating Friday night. And that the weather was mostly rainy, windy, and chilly all weekend. Where’s summer? But we had a productive and relaxing day at home and picked up the first half of the furniture for our new home [...]
Have I mentioned I’m ready to end this week? Yeah, today was another long and busy day at work. I woke up this morning with a wicked sinus headache, my head was throbbing with pain so bad that I almost called in sick. Thankfully it got better and I only have a minor headache now. [...]
Hooray for tomorrow being Friday! I am ready to end this week and look forward to a relaxing weekend. I spent too much time today spinning my wheels on a software issue at work with frustrating results and too many other deadlines to meet. I hate stressful days at work, it can be so hard [...]
The last week has been seemingly chaos with busy work hours and Easter preparations. Yesterday was hubby’s birthday and we celebrated by going to a Il Fornaio, a nice Italian restaurant. It was also cold and windy most of the day, but the rain subsided by the evening, letting the sun out and this amazing [...]
I’m feeling better today, but I think a little pampering is in order this weekend for me and my car. I noticed this fun little surprise driving to work this morning. The rubber coating is coming off my clutch, pretty ghetto looking, huh? It can’t have anything to do with my aggressive driving. :-P For [...]
Whew, what a weekend! Where to start?!?! The weather was cold and gloomy all weekend, I have not seen sunlight in over a week now and I’m really starting to miss it. I’m going hiking as soon as we get a sunny weekend! But our weather was a cake walk compared to the rest of [...]
Ah, finally a lazy weekend after a busy week. I drink a lot of hot tea at work, especially in frosty fall/winter weather. I tried a new tea today, Yogi Detox, that I found at Target. It’s corny, but the randomly insightful sayings on Yogi tea bag labels are uplifting for me, today’s was “By [...]
