The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
Wow Monday got here fast, back to reality today after a lovely relaxing day yesterday. Long runs from home are going to be a challenge for awhile with a lot of construction going on, one of my favorite running paths just became a construction zone for a new subdivision. So I took a little road [...]
Monday is almost over, whew! And happy Earth Day! Doing anything special to celebrate? Not me … besides being a vegan, driving an electric car, and composting. :-) Composting is an interesting adventure that can be messy and take up a lot of space, but LifeHacker posted a super easy method to create instant compost [...]
So happy the weekend is finally here, it’s been a strange, sad, and stressful week. I’ve been feeling exhausted this week with work being so busy and all the bad news I think, just feeling worn out and really looking forward to some down time. I felt the need to treat myself this morning with [...]
Today was a wonderfully calm day, perfect after a busy week. We had no specific plans, just went with it. Some of the highlights: 1. I finished watching Hungry For Change, an interesting documentary about the effects of processed food and chemicals on our health. Overall it was a good documentary with lots of information [...]
It is so nice to have today off work. While it’s been a great weekend, it’s also been packed with activities, so I’m thankful to have today to catch up on house stuff and get in a long run. I finished watching another documentary on Netflix, Happy, and really enjoyed it. It takes a look [...]
It’s Friday Eve and that’s all right with me, especially in front of a 3 day weekend. It’s been a busy week and I’ve been in my usual rut of a smoothie for breakfast and packed salad for lunch. With a splurge lunch run to Baagan for a huge kale citrus salad with hubby today. [...]
Here we are at Sunday again, this weekend really flew! Looking forward to a productive and good week – yeah, that’s it. And I have a new reason to look forward to Sunday nights with a new show on the Cooking Channel, How to Live to 100 with Jason Wrobel, a high-raw vegan chef with [...]
Today we had our first real storm of the season, happy Monday to us! It’s strange that it goes for months here over the summer without a drop, actually it’s nice not worrying about rain. But in the winter we can get days, even weeks, of non stop rain to make up for the dry [...]
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 [...]
This has been a week already! Partway through the day at work yesterday, I started feeling awful with a migraine, nausea, aches, and no energy. When I got home, I found I had a fever and ended up parked on the couch most of the evening. I felt better enough to get back to work [...]
I am rough on purses and shoes, I seem to go through a lot of them with my job and running around like a crazy person sometimes. And finding good vegan-friendly options to replace them isn’t always easy since I don’t like spending a lot of money on something with will probably be taking a [...]
The summer heat has been brutal this week, 110 degrees was the high while we were running errands at 4 PM today according to hubby’s car and it felt like it. I’ve been lugging lots of bottles of ice water with me and spent most of today inside catching up on housework while getting the [...]
The heat is getting a little crazy here this week, multiple days of triple-digits. And it seems to be getting to this guy! He wanders the halls meowing from boredom I guess, or anger that Miko cleaned his food bowl again. Or he tears around the house like a mad man for no apparent reason. [...]
Another weekend went by way too fast, mentally prepping myself for another work week is more challenging than usual after a crazy week. But I’m trying to be optimistic, this week could be much better – right? I caught up on about 6 loads of laundry today getting ready for the week, including washing the [...]
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. [...]
