An apple a day is a great idea…because who doesn’t like apples? A prune a day on the other hand – I’ve found it a little more challenging to get my friends to participate in this practice. The age old saying was actually originally phrased as, “Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll […]
MoreThis blog is OLD. NEWS. Honestly – this baby has been sitting in a metaphorical corner gathering dust for several years. And while I am definitely one to exaggerate, that is no hyperbole. I have been writing as long as I can remember, and I’ve been clacking on this keyboard into this window specifically since […]
MoreFinally! The day(s) have come to reintroduce all those beloved favorites I’ve/we’ve missed so much…you know what I’m talking about: chocolate and bananas, of course – the straggler triggers we eliminated mid-process, plus all those other goodies: corn, ice cream, and least we neverrrrr forget GLUTEN! I am so. freaking. pumped! I’ll add a brief, […]
MoreSo here it goes! I’ve committed. I’m doing it. The idea behind starting such a feat admittedly came from first reading about the experience from one of my favorite health enthusiast, @leefromamerica. While I’ve always been interested in leading a healthy lifestyle, nothing quite captivated me much as did the concept of first needing to […]
MoreIt’s been a while, and this post will be short. This weekend was not easy. We’re so close yet feel so far away. There was a lot of irritability floating around between myself and Brenen, and try as I might to maintain a healthy enough level of positivity for the both of us, I have […]
MoreThis weekend was so easy! Even with mom and Taylor visiting, I was able to make it work and never felt pressured to lose control or sway off course. Okay, so the trip to Dō was a little unsettling – the new cookie dough dessert store between West Village and SoHo is what I imagine […]
MoreThe theme of the diet has been making it my own, and listening to MY body. Unfortunately, even on Day 9 the headaches are still persisting. What I originally thought was solely due to cutting out caffeine cold turkey, I’ve now considered may be (also in part) to too much chocolate/sugar or not enough water. […]
MoreI haven’t been sleeping poorly, but the sleep hasn’t been as good as it was the first few nights. Perhaps I’m eating too much sugar too late in the day. I know sugar is typically eliminated from the common elimination diet, but this is MY elimination diet, and so while I’ve never really been much […]
MoreIt’s crazy to me that it’s almost 7:30PM (dinner time now), and I’ve only eaten…well…breakfast and lunch. But I’m not starving. The headaches are still sneaking in – never for long anymore though, and barely noticeable. This weekend was great! I expected it to be hard, hell to be honest, I expected it to be […]
MoreDinner last night was great! I’m already having fun making my new creations, but I can also already see all the work getting old quickly. I have to make sure I am staying a few steps ahead of myself, purchasing ingredients that can be useful in any recipe, and making sure I am constantly aware […]
