The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
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 [...]
Well hello Monday, how did you get here so fast? The weekend flew by, don’t they always? But it was productive, I buzzed around a lot yesterday running errands, cleaning, and tackling laundry for the week. And we got in a little relax time too, Shadow was happy to have hubby’s lap while looking through [...]
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 love Easter for the festivities and family gatherings. But it also makes for a busy weekend! I’m so thankful the weekend is here after a busy week and enjoying a little morning quiet time drinking coffee before heading out on a 6-mile run, but feeling a little overwhelmed at the amount of chores I [...]
What a dirty trick spring forward is! I woke up early this morning thinking I had time for a long run and to touch up my hair roots before church, then realized we lost an hour. Ugh! Oh well, it’s been a great weekend so far and kind of nice to disconnect a little after [...]
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 [...]
The long weekend in finally here, woohoo! I am celebrating after this week, it was insane at work with project stress and co-worker drama. The last two days have been a blur here with Valentine’s Day fun and work, but here we go! I finally set up a YouTube profile with a whopping one video [...]
The good news is this week is over the hump and that’s a fabulous thing after a non stop day at work. And it’s time for another What I Ate Wednesday post! Leela seems to be on the same page since she’s been a bit cranky and content to sit in her bed all day [...]
I took today and tomorrow off work to have a little down time at home and it’s been fabulous! I spent a good part of today cleaning and organizing the house which seems crazy on a day off, but the feeling that the house is more under control is worth it. The day started early [...]
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. [...]
They last few days have been nuts at work with so many people still on vacation. And I’ve had a bit of the blahs having to be back at work right after the holidays and trying to catch up on housework. But I did get a nice package this week from Nelsons Natural World thanks [...]
Wow, how did Monday get here so fast? And it was a hectic Monday because the flu is running through our department, one person was out sick with it last week and three called in sick today! Ugh, keeping my fingers crossed I’m not next! Yesterday I had a severe case of the blahs, I [...]
The last few days have been pretty awful so excuse me while I have a little pity party. Sunday night I started getting bladder infection symptoms which made for a bad night’s sleep. By Monday morning, the symptoms were mild enough for me to suspect a false alarm and I went along with my day. [...]
What I Ate Wednesdays are great for me because they mean the work week is halfway over and that’s big this week since I’m ready for it to end! I’m on call for work this week and have already had my precious beauty sleep interrupted by server problems too many times, running on about 5 [...]
I’m posting What I Ate Wednesday early because tomorrow is Halloween and I’ll probably be eating too much candy. Just kidding. I haven’t even purchased any candy yet for trick-or-treaters, guess what I’ll be doing on the way home from work tomorrow! But I will probably be too busy watching scary movies and handing candy [...]
