The last couple of days I’ve been trying to recuperate from all of our weekend activity. I feel really groggy and absent minded from exhaustion. Yesterday I told Doug that I can’t do more than 2 things a day outside of my normal routine. For instance, Monday through Thursday my normal routine includes 3.5 hours…

I want to say that my meals on Monday and today were a lot more exciting than they were. But to be honest I’ve hit the (for all you Penny fans) big neck rolling “Bored” with my diet. Partly because I keep attending events that are S.A.D. focused and I haven’t had time to prep…

Time is flying by and has caused me to totally lose track of what day I am on. This is good because it means I’m not really thinking about eating, my recipes and meals are just kind of happening by research and osmosis. I have enjoyed having more energy on this diet. The side effects…

“Today I took a mini road trip to visit my gramma who has flown here from NJ. She is staying with my aunt and uncle. It was an EPIC milestone for me today because it is the first time, in nearly 3 years, that I have driven alone for more than 45 miles. My husband,…

My routine throughout the week varies little. I pretty much have to tend to my skin a very specific way in the morning to successfully make it through my other activities. It seems that if I skip that step and alter my morning skin care I have a much harder time of things. At Dr.…

Most of us love to have downtime on the weekends, so Christine and I thought we should make my Saturday and Sunday Raw Vegan Food Journal a double post on Mondays. Maybe it can create a peaceful diversion in the midst of the “Manic Mondays”. Friday I felt a little tired, my throat was sore…
