Tuesday Update, Carb Depletion in Progress

Hi Everybody!
I can’t believe how great I feel, and how much energy I have!  I noticed the phenomenon last night when I had a big salad for my post workout meal along with a simple shake of water, Sun Warrior vanilla protein, cinnamon and L-glutamine.  No sugars at all, and very little fat, just what [...]

You are what you have been eating

Today was long but a good day, overall.  Unfortunately, there was some bad news.  One of my friends passed away today.  It wasn’t a shock.  He had bile duct cancer but actually died from the treatment of it.  The cancer was gone but the chemotherapy destroyed his liver and he died waiting on a transplant.  [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Defying SAD food

Good morning!   I am about to whip up an awesome green smoothie and go out and tackle all the leaves in my yard, and then finish my Christmas lights.   The 3 inches of rain last weekend interrupted my Christmas light hanging, so I am finishing this weekend.  We are excited that Michael’s mother is going [...]

It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

Yes, I have started my annual holiday madness of stringing thousands of lights on everything that is not moving in and around our house.  The wonderful, desperately needed, but incessant rain over the past two days thwarted my outside efforts.  So I have been working on the tree.  I take each branch out of the [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all had a wonderful, happy Thanksgiving, full of joy and laughter.   We just rolled back in from Georgia a few hours ago and I have been putting up my Christmas lights.  I know everybody ate way too much for dinner yesterday, including me!  But my mother had worked so hard to prepare [...]
