I gave in.... during our very busy week (2 away volleyball games, Siberian Husky with allergic reaction and one dr. visit due to daughters red inflamed eyes) my husband complained ad nauseum that we can never for the rest of our lives get fast... Read more
Coconut Oil
Sunday, September 09, 2012      13 comments

My new love is Coconut Oil. I am still in the process of discovering new uses for the oil but the math is pretty simple. Add coconut oil to diet = weight loss... skip oil for a couple of days = no weight loss. This stuff is amazing. ... Read more

At the Farmers Market last weekend I purchased two big bunches of kale - curly leaf - organic apples, organic carrots, organic strawberries, an onion, two zucchini, and a bunch of garlic. The organic strawberries were the most expensive, but s... Read more
Green Smoothie Convert !
Thursday, August 23, 2012      4 comments

I gave it a whirl (literally) this morning. I read so many spark pages and Paleo/Primal blogs that I can't remember where I got this smoothie recipe from. I wanted something that I could incorporate my coconut oil because putting it in my... Read more
Primal is wonderful!!

With all of my questions about Paleo / Primal / Low Carb / Healthy fats and such my lack of a gameplan meant that my weight stalled. I had lost 20 lbs. at this point and kind of flipped out. What if that was all my body was capable of losin... Read more
To Paleo or not.....

I checked out for a couple of days. Just a regrouping. Trying to change things up a bit and still keep on the healthy track... I was following something closer to the 17 day diet and all was fine, but I was getting out of hand with the yo... Read more
Walking Partner
Monday, August 06, 2012      4 comments

So... had to dump my walking partner. Not entirely his fault. Our 2 yr. old Sibe has too much energy for me. He does really well for a while and then gets antsy because I am not going fast enough, then his eye catches a bird, squirrel or heav... Read more

I am excited for August. On my continued journey to get healthy I plan to put some things in place and push myself just a little. Mostly I am talking about the exercise thing. In the Pacific Northwest the sun doesn't shine all the time. No kid... Read more
Say It Out Loud Saturday

I am a Libra. I have a tendency to see both sides to every story, but unfortunately that means that with all of the positive there comes the not so positive. This isn't always a bad situation, I believe in balance - it truly makes the world g... Read more

My youngest daughter is cracking me up. As I have said before, she is 15 and an athlete... and on summer vacation from school. This means so many things, but mostly that her brain has a total disconnect from anything school related. Particula... Read more
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall..

I made a vow not to get scale crazy. So far I have been pretty good. I did not set my personal goals to reflect ..."I want to weight XX..." The number did not mean as much to me as the how do I feel, how do I look, can I fit into clothes tha... Read more
The Master Schedule
Tuesday, July 17, 2012      2 comments

Making lifestyle changes is harder than I thought. It all sounds great in theory, but so much tougher to put it into practice. For example: My plan is to go swimming 3 days a week and treadmill at least twice. I have every intention of doing... Read more
