The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
Very happy the weekend is here and we’re not getting short-changed an hour for this one! After a draining week, I have a long list of things I want to catch up on today from finally doing my hair roots, garden work, laundry, and updating music play lists. I did finally make it to Costco [...]
It’s been a busy and draining week so far, much going on at work and being on call for work this week. Our poor pets have been a little bored with me, I’m pretty sure Miko has been giving me the stink eye most of the week for falling behind on our toy-throwing schedule. I [...]
It’s still freezing here, I had to hurdle a couple of ice patches during last night’s run. And it was a refreshing and invigorating run, I didn’t sweat and felt great after. But I may need to look into slightly warmer running pants! Tonight I hit the home gym while watching Vegucated, an interesting documentary [...]
I’m feeling better this week, a little more relaxed. It’s hard not to looking at these lazy little butts toasting in front of the fireplace. So content and relaxed. Wish I could take them to work, Miko would play all day taking the occasional break to mark co-workers cubes and Leela would snarl at anyone [...]
Very true this week and soooooo glad the weekend is almost here followed by a short work week for Thanksgiving – woohoo! I’m not the only one a little cranky this week, Leela was not thrilled about sharing her fireplace bed with Smokey. She looked at the bed and me and pouted for awhile before [...]
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 [...]
Right when I started working on this post last night, our entire neighborhood lost power. And we didn’t get it back for a few hours, right before I went to bed. And it sucked! When I lived in Florida, loosing power was a regular occurrence, nothing like being without AC in 100% humidity! But it [...]
After another long day at work, I got to decompress watching this little maniac race around the house with his over-sized cow toy flopping around. And that toy gets heavy when it’s saturated with dog slobber, I know because he likes to do flying leaps onto my back with it while I’m doing plank exercises. [...]
Happy What I Ate Wednesday! I mostly remembered to get pics of everything today and that’s something considering how this week has been! Breakfast – My usual green monster smoothie-to-go which disappeared on the drive to work. Kale, sprouted lentils, vanilla pea protein, carrots, Vitamineral Green, apple, frozen banana chunks, and a few drops of [...]
One of my splurge buys at the Living Light Marketplace was mesquite powder, something I’ve never worked with before and didn’t know much about. It looks and smells a lot like raw cacao powder with a rich, chocolaty smell. And it seems like it’s used in a lot of raw chocolate desserts and savory chili [...]
I always dreaded dental cleanings because I have teeth from hell thanks to my dad’s side of the family. Because they’re so close together, I could spend 2 hours flossing with 4 different types of floss and still not get everything. At a cleaning, one thing was always assured – I will get lectured on [...]
