Beautiful weekend at Lake Jocassee

Hello from beautiful Lake Jocassee! I won’t get to post this until we get back, because I have no internet up here at all, but I still have the laptop and Microsoft Word! So I figured I would write a little post since it’s pouring rain and there won’t be any boating for [...]

White Chocolate American Flag “Cheeze”Cake

I made this for our Lake Murray Power Squadron July 4th celebration. It is the same as my birthday cheezecake except I used a blueberry puree for the filling, and cashews instead of macadamia nuts for the cheezecake part. This made a BIG cake, as you can see. Half would be plenty for normal cakes.

T-minus 5 Days and Counting

Well the crazy pre-contest week diet has begun.   I am still a bit uncertain about what to do exactly, but I am feeling better about it.  I have been studying standard contest diets and just figuring out how to substitute raw foods in the protocol to achieve the same results.  Thank GOD for Sun Warrior [...]

T-Minus 10 days and Counting

OK, it’s getting closer.  I am really getting into some serious diet stuff now.  As I told you before, this is an experiment for me, so I am trying to document my results.  I am focusing on getting as many greens into my body as I can, and keeping the good fats up for now, [...]

Crybabies

I worked shoulders so hard tonight that it was hard to lift my arms to make our post workout green smoothies!   I am so proud of my dear husband.  He has gotten so motivated and is really working out hard.  And he is pushing me even harder, which is great!   It seems to have finally [...]

A great question!

One of my dear blog readers (bless you all!) submitted an excellent question today.  So I thought I would post my response for everyone to see, in hopes that it will help some of you who are struggling with the same issues. 
Here is the question:
Christy,
I’ve been dabbling in raw foods for a few months and [...]

Green Smoothie video and Leg Workout

Wow, did we ever kill legs today!  I am already sore, but that’s partly because I was doing plyometric leg exercises last night for my cardio intervals, so my legs were already pre-exhausted.  I still got my heavy leg press, though!
Leg Workout:

Warmup on recumbent bike for 12 minutes
Leg press:  4 sets:  1 medium intensity with [...]
