An Attitude of Gratitude Experiment 2.0 Day 41

Today I am grateful for Sabbath activities. Today I am grateful for Lilli's enthusiasm regarding her new fish... a shrimp she named Barry after Barry Allen, the Flash, a black gold fish named Bruce after Bruce Wayne, Bateman, and Richie after Richard, Robin. It's fun her hear her excitably share. Today I am grateful that… Continue reading An Attitude of Gratitude Experiment 2.0 Day 41

Okay... I am going to try again to document what I put into my mouth just to help me be mindful of the things I am choosing to nourish myself with.

Can I Eat Like a Buddhist?

I've been thinking about how I can get my rear in gear and get back into the habit of tracking my meals and help. I have also been reading a little about the diets of practicing Buddhist and Hindu. There is a little of what I have learned that can assist me in my efforts… Continue reading Can I Eat Like a Buddhist?

at it again… well at least i’m trying

Well... it is time to focus and work harder at making good choices when it comes to food. I need healing food. So... that is what I am attempting to do.

Reality Check

Okay. Time to get serious about taking pictures of all my food intake... again. My last doctor visit proved that my weight hasn't changed in a year and my blood pressure is not improving. It is very discouraging. I guess I should expect it because I have not been hard core Dr Fuhrman diet style.… Continue reading Reality Check

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

Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise… in Progress

I am working on "wealth."  Health seems to be ever elusive.  I do know that it's all in my choices.  I was all set to eat more salads and then the Romaine lettuce scare took all the lettuce and pre-chopped salads out of the stores.  It makes it real hard to eat a salad a… Continue reading Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise… in Progress

Lacking in Progress

Don't I know it!  I was sick last week... a cold.  Said cold came with a fever and chills.  I really wasn't interest in making food, but I did.  It wasn't all the best choices, but hey, I tried. Monday I ate some of the left over black bean soup that is more like dip… Continue reading Lacking in Progress

two weeks in one post

Okay... it's been two weeks since I posted my food choices on my blog.  Last Monday I was  little busy driving home from my weekend away.  Thus, the blog was ignored on Monday. These were my choices a couple of Mondays ago.  I had a nice fruit shake and some crackers for lunch and a… Continue reading two weeks in one post

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.  I just wasn't as mindful as I should have been, and had been in past year.  I still was eating a plant based diet. … Continue reading Starting Again
