Getting Ready for 2009!

I can’t believe that 2008 is almost over.  It was definitely an interesting year that brought about many changes.  I am so grateful for the changes it brought to my life.   I was ready for a fresh perspective.  My deep love of holistic nutrition and fitness was really tugging at my heart.  The slowdown in [...]

Recovering from Christmas!

Hello Everyone!  I hope you all had an absolutely wonderful, happy, joyous Christmas full of love and laughter.  We sure did, and I am so sorry I have been away for so long.  There are just not enough hours in the day around Christmas time.  Plus Michael’s mother was here with us, and I hated to [...]

Healthy Home-made Protein Bars

It’s been a great day!  No gym workout today.  Instead I got my cardio and lots of bodyweight squats putting in my beautiful Rainbow Swiss Chard plants and mustard plants as well.  We have had beautiful weather the last few days, even up in the 70’s, but today was a different story.  My fingers were numb [...]

Happy Holidays Everyone!
 
Be sure to click on the above article and read it.  I was told many years ago by a medical doctor that if sugar was being introduced today it would be a Schedule III narcotic, which is the most addictive class of drugs.   This study shows in dramatic fashion how addictive sugar is.  [...]

Optimal Post-workout Nutrition

The Christmas shopping is finally done!  Hooray!   Not only did I get mine done, but I did a lot for my mother too.  My parents don’t have, and refuse to own, a computer, so I have been shopping online for them and just having the gifts sent to their address.  That’s pretty handy.  Michael wants [...]

Defying the Holiday Bulge

Well, we had the big cookie party tonight.  It was a lot of fun and my Living Cookies held up very well against the others.  The reaction to them was overwhelmingly positive, which was great considering most people there were definitely not raw foodists!  I had the opportunity to meet several wonderful women who were [...]

Defiant Cookie Monster

Wow, has this ever been a busy couple of days!  It’s now way after midnight, and I just had to at least get in a little blogging before bedtime!   Yesterday was really unusual for a Sunday.  Since we are trying so hard to finish the home we are building for our clients to move in at [...]

The cost of eating healthy

Happy Saturday!  Did you get a lot of Christmas shopping done today?  I actually did, which is good for me.  I generally hate shopping.  For me, it’s more of a sprint than a treasure hunt.  If I am not looking to buy anything I see so much stuff I just love and want, but when [...]

Defying Brain Cancer

Wow, what a week!  Starting a new business, finishing up the new house, inspections, real estate contracts, and all the Christmas stuff too.  I had to miss one of the parties I really did want to attend, but my schedule was just too crazy and I had to work.  I have not been able to [...]

Uncharted Territory

Wow, it has been a crazy busy couple of days.  My friend Denise and I tiptoed trepidatiously into the waters of opening our own little raw vegan cafe/smoothie bar, called the Living Well Cafe.   We are very excited about the possibilities, and there is absolutely nothing in the nutritional wasteland of Columbia, SC that even [...]
