This has been an odd summer. I planned on leisurely floating my pool most days and completing a couple projects. Instead, I worked 12 hour days on a little summer show for the first week out of school. Then there was the 4th of July parade, followed by some time with a grand daughter. At… Continue reading Not the summer I expected…

Working to Keep My Head Above Water
My life is a bit out of control. I am rarely home, and I am struggling to keep my plant-based diet a healthy plant-based diet. All too often, it takes a lot of prep work (time), and eating time to make a plant-based diet a success. Not only that, most of the people living in… Continue reading Working to Keep My Head Above Water
Starting Again
Restarting my commitment today. You see... the production of Mamma Mia consumed my life. I was luck to get energy for something, sometime during the day. I didn't exactly go crazy.

Ending My Summer, but Keeping Plant Power!
Okay... I really need to make more time for food. Today I had trouble finding the time to make and eat food. So much to do and so little time to do it!

The only real complication is time... time to prepare and time to chew. It seriously takes more time to chew fresh, raw plants, then it does to chew… Continue reading Veggie Life on the Run

Is this a habit yet. Actually... no. Everyday I make a choice. Some days the choices aren't as good as other days.

Trying Something New to Get Ogg This Stale Mate
This past week I tried "intermittant fasting." I went with the 16:8 theory for this first time trying out this new craze. You may be asking, "why do this now?" Well... I've been in a rut.
