Bless me internet, for I have sinned. It’s been two weeks since my last blog post. I’ve tried to chronicle my journey before, always stopping at times like these. But what makes this time different is that I promised myself I would write even when I struggle with what I’m trying to do. Even if…

10 Things to Keep in Mind on Your Personal Transformation Journey
Are you like me, in that you dreamed about what you wanted in life for a long, long (long) time before you actually began working towards it? I know. A couple of years ago I started a running log of thoughts, concepts, words of wisdom that I would jot down in a note on my…
10 Ways to Prevent Stress Eating
Stress is an insidious monster. Sometimes it’s a creeper, sometimes it hits you all at once. Everyone experiences it at one time or another. Feeling on edge, worrying, anticipating the worst, fearing something bad will happen, trying to control things that may be beyond our control. When the mind experiences stress, the body reacts by…
Back to the Grind and Calorie(s) Count
Weigh-in Wednesday, once again. I knew I hadn’t lost much, if any, since I’m coming off of what I described earlier as a mini “break” from a more strict eating plan. You can see my weekly weight reports on my progress page. Following this break of sorts, I have subsequently learned that…. Calories count. Yes,…
Taking a Break
So I guess you might say I was pushing myself too hard. It’s been almost a week since my last post. I remember it well. It was weigh-in day, April 19th. (smh) I decided to chill a little bit, pull back, so to speak, partly because I was starting to go a little bonkers, trying…
Stop Counting the Days when it’s Supposed to be a Life Practice ~ Progress Update
The title of this post is one of my most recent realizations. I’ve goofed and I’ve flubbed on this journey, done things and eaten things that weren’t optimal. I’m human. And I’m still moving forward. “Consistency carries the day.” So today at work, I noticed myself walking kind of fast. With a sure step. Something…
Cooked Food Causes A.G.E.ing
Back in chemistry class, we learned that when heat is applied to a molecule, the molecule’s structure changes. In essence, the original substance, with heat applied, becomes something else. The problem comes when we prepare our meals by cooking them, and expect to receive all the nutrients we need. Unfortunately, we aren’t. Many of the…
Why Not Animals?
I am proud to be able to say that my diet is vegan now. For many many reasons. But it hasn’t always been that way. I have eaten every kind of meat and dairy product on the market. But now, after everything I’ve learned, there was no other choice to make. I chose this way…
The Wonders of (Only) Eating Fruits and Vegetables
“The miracle of the Raw Food Diet is not what you’re eating, it’s what you’re not eating.” ~Tim VanOrden. To get out of the body’s way, and let it do what it does. It always works towards health. Unfortunately, humans have bought into a system that says it’s not only ok, but beneficial to eat…
Musical Muses…Day 14
I’ve been struggling a bit lately. Seems like I went through a period last week where everything clicked. I didn’t crave anything. If I felt the slightest twinge of desire to look for something to put in my mouth, I would just breathe, and it would be like an instant reset. The breath still works…
