The journey of adopting a high raw vegan diet.
Monday is almost over, whew! And happy Earth Day! Doing anything special to celebrate? Not me … besides being a vegan, driving an electric car, and composting. :-) Composting is an interesting adventure that can be messy and take up a lot of space, but LifeHacker posted a super easy method to create instant compost [...]
What a day at work, ugh! One of those days where I didn’t even have a minute to catch my breath between putting out fires and I’m feeling the stress with everything I need to do tomorrow circling in my mind. It’s also been a super windy day making poor Miko frustrated about going outside. [...]
On one hand this week is flying after two very busy days. On the other, Friday needs to get here quick! It’s been nonstop at work, which is good, but tough when dealing with difficult co-workers. I did get to leave work early today, but it was for a dental appointment to have a filling [...]
I’m a little sad that it’s Monday already, where did the weekend go? But it was a productive weekend, hubby sweetly sterilized the kitchen since we’re really good and making a mess of it. I got lots of laundry done and a little more decluttering which felt wonderful. And we relaxed with cuddly pets. I [...]
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 [...]
Watching Fat Sick and Nearly Dead over the weekend inspired me to get moving on my New Year’s goal of using my juicer more. After feeding a lot of kale, 3 carrots, two apples, a huge chunk of ginger, and a kiwi through the juicer, I got an interesting looking pre-dinner juice that tasted wonderful. [...]
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 [...]
Leela is having a rough night parked in front of the fireplace. Can’t blame her, it’s been chilly here in the mornings and evenings, I had to find a little extra motivation to get out of bed this morning in the cold and dark. And I had a serious case of the Mondays yesterday after [...]
It’s been a laid back Saturday of running, catching up with house projects, shopping, laundry, gardening, office paperwork, and lots of playing with this little guy. I also re-imaged my laptop with Windows 8 and still getting the hang of it. It’s very different from Windows 7 and I’ll be testing it for awhile before [...]
Halloween was pretty low-key here, hubby carved the pumpkin into an adorable minion from Despicable Me. And I dashed to Target after work to grab Halloween candy which probably wasn’t the best idea waiting until the very last minute, the candy aisle was total chaos with bags thrown everywhere and slow-moving carts trying to find [...]
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 [...]
Thankfully I’m feeling better today, less congested, and hoping to attempt a long run shortly. Keeping my fingers crossed! Yesterday I ended up doing a workout at home on our elliptical while getting engrossed in Forest Gump. Before I knew it, an hour had passed and I was saturated in sweat – whoops! Hubby and [...]
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 [...]
Yesterday was a great day even though I didn’t get to do all that I wanted to do. We went to a fabulous backyard birthday party for a couple of friends were hubby’s band played an amazing set, so proud of him! I spent the afternoon racing around the house catching up on chores, charging [...]
Happy almost Friday, I’m ready to celebrate the weekend now! This has been a long week full of ups and downs. Poor Leela is looking about as dragged out as me! The crazy weather has not helped, we’ve had triple digit heat every day this week with terrible air quality from wild fires burning around [...]
