The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
Happy Saturday, so glad the weekend is here! The last few days at work have been nuts, so I’m grateful to have a little down time planned this weekend to catch up, run, and relax. And maybe get to making a huge batch of kale chips, we’ll see! Yesterday we stopped by Whole Foods for [...]
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 [...]
It has been a wonderful weekend so far and I’ve been eating like a queen! Whew, really need that long run tomorrow. :-) I met hubby for lunch at Baagan yesterday for my latest addiction – the salad trio plate. It’s a new dish with three salads on one plate and the salads are switched [...]
Miko goes through toys, lots of toys, and usually by ripping holes in them so big a sewing machine can’t save them. He even brings his toys to bed and pouts when he leaves them in the backyard until we open the door so he can go get it. He’s a happy camper with his [...]
I’m a little sad that our three day weekend is coming to an end, but feeling refreshed for the work week ahead – I hope. It’s been a productive, relaxing, and fun weekend that’s just easier to break down in a list. :-) 1. With all the controversy surrounding GMO foods, especially corn and soy, [...]
Happy Saturday. We’re nice and relaxed here, Leela has not been wanting to get out of bed the last few mornings. I took yesterday off work and hubby and I have basically been playing and relaxing the last two days and it’s been wonderful after a strange and stressful work week. I took Friday off [...]
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 [...]
Oh boy, Monday again. Actually this one isn’t too bad since I’m not on call for work this week and I’m taking a much needed day off. Mondays are a great opportunity to start the week of food off right. In one of the raw vegan recipe classes I went to awhile back, we were [...]
I know, another avocado dressing. I can’t help it! Avocados are cheap here now, under $1 each. And they’re amazing! Plus I have a few ripe ones I needed to use up quick this week. I have not been to a grocery store in over a week as I’m having fun using up what I [...]
Why isn’t it Friday yet?! Happy Wednesday. It’s been a strange week here with a lot going on at work and home, I’ve been feeling torn in many directions at work. I think poor Miko is getting a little bored with me hoping for a little play time. Such a sad face. And I feel [...]
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 [...]
Whew, Friday is almost here! And after a few busy weekends, I’m ready for a little downtime this weekend. We’re all looking a little worse for wear around here, Shadow has been parked in our bed all evening. Leela is wiped after spending a day with very active nieces! Then there’s Miko who’s always ready [...]
It’s been very windy here the last few days, probably my least favorite weather especially for running! Good thing I’ve been on run rest since Sunday’s 12k and hitting the elliptical while trying to catch up on Mad Men. Miko is not a fan of the wind either avoiding even going into the backyard to [...]
Whew, I’m feeling a little wiped after an awesome 12k race! Today started very early with a huge pre-race smoothie of hemp protein powder, strawberries, banana, kale, carrots, chia seeds, and dates for plenty of energy. I left the house at 6:45am to pick up my sister and dash to the Run Rocklin 12k we [...]
I’m so happy the weekend is finally here and we’ve been living it up already celebrating hubby’s birthday with a little fine dining last night where I might have had too many amazing garlic fries and wine. So today we’ve been laying a little low relaxing and playing. And I crammed in a lot of [...]
