Weekly Weigh-In #1

When I’m not eating as well as I feel I should be, I don’t weigh in, but the fact of the matter is that when I was weighing in more frequently I was losing more weight. So in an effort to hold myself more accountable, I’m once again going to follow a regular weigh-in routine….

Sunday Night Rampage or I Feel Like a Dog Playing in the Mud

I’m so excited to start a new week! I love that I have my week planned out in my day planner and I know exactly what I need to do, exactly what I want to do every day this week. I’m so excited to be this super organised because I know this week is going…

Angry Gall Bladder: My Fatty Relapse

After months of following a whole food plant based diet that was low fat, low sodium and almost gluten free, the pressures of life started chipping away at my resolve and I started to fall into some junk food vegan habits. Buying one tub of Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy ice cream to try as a…

It’s the Food

Did you know the World Health Organization classified processed meats (bacon, sausage,  ham, wieners, deli cuts, etc.) as a Class 1 Carcinogenic, or something that likely causes cancer (at the same level as smoking and asbestos)? You might have heard something in the news a couple of years ago about this, but then you likely…

My Top 5 Favourite Vegan Things #1

Since I started this whole food plant based lifestyle I’ve been reading a lot of books and articles, watching many films and videos, and following a lot of groups and individuals who are making or have made the transition to this way of living. I started for health reasons but the more I learn, the…

Changing Momentum

Last week’s challenge started off brilliantly. I literally had the best day of my life on Monday. I’m not kidding. It was the best day ever! I felt so happy, so high on adrenaline, so enthusiastic and full of life, and best of all … so damn productive! I had a full list and I…

Day 2: I’m an Excellent Driver

Yesterday was one of the best days of my life. I slept only 4.5 hours but got out of bed at 5 am and hit the ground running. I accomplished every single task on my list. I had so much time to do everything I wanted and even more. It was the most amazing thing!…

Day 1: Ask, Believe, Receive

I am doing it! Yesterday I planned my week through Thursday and this morning I am checking things off the list. I woke at 5 am right on schedule, took my vitamins, enjoyed a healthy breakfast of banana steel cut oats with a frozen power fruit blend of cherries, blackberries and blueberries, listened to Abraham…

A Workweek Challenge

If you have a Fitbit you know about the various challenges they offer. Every week my sister challenges me to the Workweek Hustle to see who can get the most steps over the course of the five day workweek. And every week in recent history I haven’t even remembered that I’m in a challenge, let…

My Friday Morning Rampage

I love my life. I love everything about it. I love that I live in a beautiful rural part of the country where I can watch deer grazing, fish leaping, squirrels running, moose lumbering, and birds pecking. I love that I can hear the swoosh of the wind in the leaves of the trees, birds…

Learning to Fly … Again!

By 2008 I had evolved to a really good place. I was happy and healthy. I loved my work, my family, my home, my friends, my affiliations and life in general. I was strong mentally and emotionally and because I was actively exercising and improving my health I was getting stronger physically every day. I…

Damaged

I’m damaged goods. I don’t really understand why, or when it became so. But without a doubt, I am damaged. The older I get the less I seem to be able to hide just how damaged I am.
