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 [...]
Hooray for tomorrow being Friday! It’s another freezing week here and I just had a brisk 3.3 mile run in 30 degree weather, great motivation to run faster! But I actually don’t mind running in cold weather, it’s invigorating and no muscle pain after. A good friend gave Miko a cute, cuddly stuffed dog for [...]
It’s been such a productive and fun weekend that I’m sad it’s over. The chilly temps in the 30s actually made perfect weather for fast runs Saturday and Sunday mornings. And hubby and I stepped out to see Skyfall and it was awesome! I’ve never been a huge James Bond fan because, while slick and [...]
So happy the weekend is here and I’ve been trying to decompress from the hectic work week while still having a fun and productive Saturday that included: 1. Deciding to work out in our home gym this morning instead of running since my legs were a little sore. 2. Having a simple massaged kale salad [...]
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 [...]
So glad the weekend is finally here, I’ve been in a funk the last two days with a cold and craziness at work. And I’m still trying to get rid of the last bits of this cold and be ready to run a 10k race tomorrow morning – ugh! Poor Miko has been looking a [...]
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, [...]
This has not been an easy week, a lot of stress with being sick, fretting about not being ready to run a half marathon Sunday, busy work days, and sinus headaches. I’ve decided to run the half anyway even if my time is terrible and I succumb to walking much of it with pounding sinus [...]
We’re still recovering from a cold that was apparently passed around my family. I’m feeling much better, but poor hubby isn’t and is even rocking a fever today. But he has a little lap buddy and iPad games to the rescue! While waiting for my symptoms to go away, I got to experiment with another [...]
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 [...]
This has been a challenging week already at work, things aren’t slowing down with our workload being over double what it was just a few months ago. I’m thankful, but stressed just a bit. And living off of smoothies, leftovers, and simple salads the last few days while cramming in gym time and the “to [...]
I am so happy the weekend is almost here, this week has been rough at work and home with a house full of chihuahuas watching my mom’s chihuahua while she’s on vacation. Things have not exactly been peaceful here, they squabble over getting our attention, dinner, treats, and beds. Miko has been claiming the new [...]
Doesn’t Smokey look so comfy? She just loves my pillow and never misses an opportunity to make make herself at home on it when I forget to make the bed further reminding me that I’m out of my game this week still recovering from a bladder infection and slightly goofed up on antibiotics. Ugh, I’ve [...]
I’ve been meaning to replace my old wallet for awhile now. It’s old, not vegan since I got it as a gift in my non-vegan days, and is bulky and heavy. I browsed many options on Etsy, but did not find anything that grabbed me. Then I came across Haiku branded bags and purses on [...]
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. [...]
