Three Things I Am Adding To My Life
After having been on this planet for four-and-a-half decades, it now seems that my body is teaching me lessons I was loathed to learn in my 20’s or even 30’s. Being a hard-charger who rarely says “No” to a task and saw resting as weakness, it has been difficult to realize that my body is…

2015–Stick with the Old & Add a Little New
The beginning of a new year always seems to spark a bit of enthusiasm. Even the most cynical among us, if honest, have a twinge of “what if” when the clock strikes midnight in a new year. January is also my birthday month, so there is that. Ever since I turned 40, I promised myself…

Have you tried Tessamae’s?
After diving into the Whole 30 and researching more about Paleo, I heard lots of devout admiration for Tessamae’s. Because I’m trying to be uber good this Whole 30, I had not so much as gazed upon the website because I didn’t want to fall in love with the idea of something that was Paleo,…

Whole 30 — Day 06

I find the weekends to be the easiest to follow the Whole 30. How could it not be? You can be at home, you can make what you eat when you’re ready to eat it and you can plan ahead if you have to go somewhere. I kicked off the day with two eggs. Nothing…

Whole 30 Day 02
Today, I failed to plan well, but I didn’t let that deter me from my overall mission of making it through this Whole 30 with everyone else who started August 1st. This morning, I hit the snooze button too many times for an omelet to be a food choice. Honestly, I wasn’t that hungry thanks…

Whole 30 Day 0
Because beginning a Whole 30 challenge in my house isn’t as easy as just going to the pantry, I have to have a Day 0 to prepare. My oldest and I raided the produce section at the local market tonight and I’ve been in the kitchen since cleaning and prepping vegetable, making my favorite Whole…
