I started my second cleanse to day which was the Respiratory Cleanse. It went pretty well today. I didn’t really notice a difference today but I rarely do on the first few days. I went to the trainer today and didn’t really have to much problems breathing. He says I’m doing better than I was […]

So I went to Wholefoods today to get my food for the week. I learned a lot about picking fruits and vegetables to ensure they are ripe and ready to eat. I loved the guy who helped me. He was wonderful. I was stuck in that section for about an hour trying new fruits and […]

I did it again! I was cleaning the dryer and I had a mask on and my eyes still swelled up. Sheesh cleaning sucks. I decided to go get something to eat and I went to Bloom Cafe and got a Salmon Bowl. I know it is not on my plan but I just wanted […]

So my trainer kicked my butt again. I have so much fun in that hour that it flies by. I love the fact we don’t do the same routine twice. He is always positive and never makes me feel like I suck. I know at times I am uncoordinated and can’t do some things correctly but he […]

I talked with my friend today that is a Bodybuilder in Canada. She gave me some great ideas to help me drop some pounds. She mentioned broccoli, sweet potatoes (juiced while cleansing) and a few other things will help aid me in my journey. I will look at the links she sent me and let […]

Great day today. Woke up refreshed and happy. I had Cereal for breakfast and had a great and productive day at work. I went to the trainer after work and had a great workout. Only problem we ran into is figuring out why I am retaining so much water. I was 3 pounds down from […]

So my new favorite dish is CHEEZY KELP NOODLES from Planet Raw. They are sooooo delicious. Cheese made from nuts is the most ingenious thing I have ever heard. I was always a cheese freak growing up. I would eat it on everything melted, grated or just cut a block off and eat it just […]

Hey y’all. I had warm food today. It was wonderful. I went to Native Foods for lunch and got their Soul Bowl. It was just what I needed. lol I wanted some warm food and drove far for lunch to get something healthy within the means of the vegan diet. I’m going to try not […]

Yeah! My face no longer looks like I’m diseased! My voice is still gone but my throat isn’t as sore. I gave up on cleaning. I guess I will have to hire a maid once a month to do dusting and vacuuming. I don’t want this problem every time I need to do a thorough […]

Today is the last day of the first cleanse. I made it!!! lol. I decided to clean up my home today, I dusted, swept, mopped, washed my clothes and dishes. So of course while cleansing my house I had an allergic reaction. I had a mask on while cleaning and it didn’t seem to help. […]

Yeah it’s Friday! Today went by fast. I had a lot of work to do and I completed almost all of it. I wasn’t foggy all day which to me was great. But…I was sore as hell from all the workouts this week and walking up and down the stairs at work really was painful […]

So today went by well. I ate frequently, made sure I had plenty of water throughout the day and went to the 6 a.m. definitions and ab classes at the gym. There was a different trainer today and he was something fierce. Everything was sore on me. I didn’t have any energy after leaving those […]

So did a lot of soul searching today…I’m cool now. My day was pretty good. People keep telling me I’m getting smaller but I don’t see it. I stand in the mirror naked like most people do and try the side view…still looks the same to me, then I try the front view…the same to […]

I realized why my focus was off. My grandfather is in his transitional stage. He lived a full life though, 95 beautiful years and accomplished so much. I have mixed feelings about this. Although I don’t feel as I did when my father past, probably because it was my first experience with a close death, […]

Today was back to work as usual but I couldn’t focus today. Not like usual. I slept all night. Was dead by 7p.m. So, I thought I would have energy today. I couldn’t focus on my usual tasks and my mind kept wandering all day. I made it through the day and went to the […]

It’s raining. Not just raining it’s pouring outside and the wind is blowing so hard I think one of these trees is gonna end up in my window. I decided not to go anywhere today. Getting in that looks like trouble to me. I juiced some kale, carrot and orange juice which was pretty good. […]

I woke up at 7a.m. ready to get my outdoor activity for the day over. My boss didn’t answer so I started to clean my house as I usually do on the weekend. I moved here not to long ago and I’m still trying to find a home for all my stuff as well as […]

So my back pain isn’t as bad as yesterday. My muscles are still tense and I felt little spasms throughout the day. I decided to order a salad for lunch from the Vegan Joint. It was a great salad. It had mushrooms, beets, red and yellow onions, peas and carrots and a great raw sweet […]

I woke up in back pain. I strained my back. Great.  Doing crunches, I hurt my back. Not regular crunches before people think I’m an old fart but the ones that you lay flat on the floor with your hands above your head and you bring your hands and feet off the ground to kinda […]

Have you ever really wondered what your body actually does when you sleep? It’s just amazing to me that I can go to sleep not feeling anything at all and as soon as I wake up, my body feels like I was hit by a train. lol. I did yoga so why am I so […]
