The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
I meant to post this last night, but work had a different plan. It’s been that kind of week here with lots crammed in. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday because of the long days and was slightly depressed when I realized it was only Wednesday. At least the dogs were happy [...]
This has been a strange week at work with announcements of possibly big changes ahead in our department and plenty of work. Sleep has not been super easy with so much on my mind and I get a little cranky when I’m tired. I understood road rage a lot more this morning when a teenager [...]
This post is slightly all over the place with odds and ends from the week, but that’s about where I am after a busy week. Thank goodness the weekend is here and I just booked a week long vacation for us in July, I already feel relaxed and can’t wait! Finding good vegan shoes for [...]
It’s almost Friday and I am ready! It’s been a busy week, except for the dogs. I can’t blame them, it rained most of today and I’d rather be balled up in a comfy couch blanket too. Instead I was craving a little comfort food for dinner after a busy work day. When I first [...]
I’m very ready for this week to end. Excuse me while I whine about work for a minute because everyone is sick with some sort of flu again. Three people in our group were out either sick or caring for a sick kid and I spent the day juggling 14 things at once with constant [...]
I’m so happy it’s Friday eve and that hubby is almost completely rid of the flu, hopefully he’ll have all his energy back by the weekend. I haven’t caught it yet, but I’ve been dragging this week feeling more tired than usual and not wanting to get out of bed in the mornings, maybe I’m [...]
I’m feeling much better after my little pre-holiday funk, not stressed about tomorrow at all and had an easy half day at work and now a long holiday weekend full of family and food ahead, can’t complain about that! We will be having a chihuahua party here for the next two days watching my mom’s [...]
In junior high, I was just a little obsessed with the movie Fried Green Tomatoes, I think we even had it on VHS. Something about the empowering transformation of Kathy Bates’ character and watching her ram a Beetle with her Ford Land Yacht – those girls deserved it! But I’ve never tried fried green tomatoes, [...]
Tempeh is my current favorite post-workout dinner. Especially after another intense 3 mile run pushing my pace and incline. I’m usually craving protein and and something hearty after a serious sweat session. But not something hot in our extreme, triple-digit heat this week! Tonight I decided to use tempeh in a quick, semi-raw stuffed pepper [...]
Is it Friday yet? Someone please say yes! Things just have not been slowing down at work, I spent most of the morning putting out fires and feeling torn in 14 directions at once. Weeks like this are tough because I come home feeling mentally drained and not too creative for dinner. Not a problem [...]
The crazy winds from yesterday finally took a hike and I was able to pry Leela from her favorite new bed for some outdoor time. But she hurried back inside to prevent this one from taking her bed. I got in some quality kitchen time between loads of laundry and a trip to Trader Joe’s. [...]
There’s been a lot of relaxing going on this week with cats and dogs lounging all over the house. Life’s good when there’s a warm lap and there’s something so pleasant about coming home to these happy little buddies.. But relaxing hasn’t come easy for me this week, I think I’m still hyped from the [...]
What a week so far! There’s still so much going on at work and getting a jury duty summons for next month and dealing with a very pricy brake repair on my car is just icing on the cake. Though jury duty might be a less stressful alternative to work, hmmm… I think being slightly [...]
It’s been so nice to decompress this weekend after such a crazy week. And since it was very windy and rainy most of the day yesterday, it was a great excuse to stay home with the exception of a trip to the gym and grocery shopping. Since there was no way my long run was [...]
It’s been a wacky and stressful week to say the least with so much going on at work, rain, keeping up with workouts and half marathon training, and fighting off another bug going around. I’ve been trying to stick to simple, nutrient dense meals to combat this madness, like a loaded kale salad dressed with [...]
