{WIAW} YOLO

May 15, 2013

Ah, there it is. That catchy, yet irritating, phrase that can always convince me to LIVE a little despite my best intentions. But before I get there, the rest of the day went pretty well, and thanks Jenn for hosting WIAW! Bacon, fried egg, Juice Plus gummies and ACV I’m trying to be more diligent [...]

A Pretty Great Tuesday

May 1, 2013

Do you ever get stuck eating the same thing so much (eggs) that you forget how delicious other breakfasts can be (oatmeal)? Love Grown Foods Hot Oats in Strawberry Raspberry with diced strawberries and chia seeds. I try to save the easy-to-make LOVE cups for when I’m in a hurry, and yesterday I was. Hailey [...]

Healthy Eating with 8 Year Olds

April 17, 2013

Yesterday I had the opportunity to talk about my favorite subject with a group of 8-10 year old girls. A local mom saw me on Fox News Rising and contacted me about talking to her daughter’s girl scout troop. How could I say no? After all, Troop Beverly Hills is one of my favorite movies. [...]

An Odd Day

April 10, 2013

Yesterday was weird. It started when I woke up at 5:30am without an alarm, feeling queasy. I got up to get some things done before the stomach bug took full effect. Only, it never did. I had no appetite, but around 8:00am I forced down a banana and some tea while I waited for Hailey [...]

6 Vegetables + Salsa

April 3, 2013

That’s my number of different veggies I ate yesterday. I suppose it could be more if I counted the corn chips, but since I’m not Congress (who counted the smear of tomato sauce on cheese pizza as a vegetable), I don’t. Today I’m sharing my day of food for WIAW, but don’t forget that tomorrow [...]

Just Add Plants

March 27, 2013

So many times in trying to live a healthier life, it is easy to get caught up in elimination. Get rid of sugar. Stop eating processed foods. No more desserts. You get the picture. Through personal experience I’ve learned restrictive behavior is counterproductive. Tell me I can’t have chips and salsa and I will fixate [...]

Yesterday

March 20, 2013

Good news! I’ve discovered that there are actually more hours in the day! Unfortunately you find them before 6:00am. I’ve been up this week around 5:15am to get a few more things done before my day “begins.” I usually wait to eat breakfast with Hailey, so instead, I’ve been starting with drinks. Drinks at 5:15am? [...]

{What I Ate} Wednesday

February 27, 2013

First off, a big congratulations to Jenn at Peas and Crayons on her pregnancy! And she’s still hosting WIAW- veggie loaded while not being able to stomach much more than bagels herself. Impressive! 2 eggs scrambled with red and green peppers and olive oil, topped with Jack’s special salsa. Half a grapefruit on the side. [...]

A Day of Real Food

February 20, 2013

Some might call me a hypocrite, but I prefer to define it as living with moderation. Yesterday I discussed eating real food, not nutrients, which I’m a huge advocate of, but if you’ve been reading this blog for more than a minute you’ll know that I’m also a huge fan of Mexican food from hole-in-the-wall [...]
