Keeping in line with my goal to create posts that readers can relatively… Continue reading Fitness Challenge Update in Photos
Greetings! For the last several months I have been prioritizing the health and fitness component of the 5-year challenge (the subject of this blog). I'm happy to report that I am no longer prehypertensive! Yes, I did it! ❤ I obtained a healthy blood pressure by eating vegan 5 days a week. It took awhile,… Continue reading “Nice Cream” Recipe: Vegan, 3 Ingredients
Sometime in the Fall of 2018, I went to a health clinic for a cerumen impact removal. That's just a fancy way of saying I went in to get the impacted (stuck) ear wax removed from my ears. I have tiny ear canals, and despite cleaning my ears constantly, every so often I'll get wax… Continue reading [Health] Transitioning to a Plant-Based Diet, Then Adding Back Eggs, Tuna, and Salmon
It's been a while since I posted regarding the fitness challenge. There are several reasons why. First, I've been in an "explore, trial, and assess" mode. I've been trialing the Keto diet, Paleo diet, and Atkins diet to see which works best for me. I didn't want to create a lot of posts about trialed… Continue reading [Health] My Daily Turmeric and Collagen Bullet Green Tea Recipe

The two food plans I'm blending -- The Abs Diet eating plan and The Paleo / Whole30 eating plan -- are not compatible. I recognize that. 😉 I have done both of them at separate times and appreciate the logic behind and the results achieved from both. Some of the things I like about the… Continue reading [Food/Recipe/Diet] Abs Diet Burger
Do you remember that Pattie LaBelle sweet potato pie CRAZE that happened a while back? It was crazy, right?!?? I mean, there was some guy who made a YouTube video, singin' about Pattie's pies . . . and he got semi-famous and paid or something. And it was near impossible to get one of the… Continue reading Food Review: Patty’s Pie, Krave, Paleo Frozen Dinner, Luvo Frozen Dinner, Abs Diet Guac & Tuna, and Abs Diet Oatmeal Mix
I purposely did not prep my breakfast last night: The morning before I'd prepped a bowl of oatmeal with honey, flaxseed, and pecans . . . and in the morning I just added half a banana and milk before zapping it in the microwave. (It was so satisfying and health-infusing, by the way!). But THIS… Continue reading [Report] Day 2: Dieting/Eating
After I complete the jump starter detox using the Essence of Vitality drink, I plan to maintain. Every morning, the first thing I plan to put on my stomach is 8 ounces of water. Then, while driving my oldest to school, I plan to drink Dr. Draxe's natural detox drink as discussed here: https://draxe.com/recipe/secret-detox-drink. That's… Continue reading Natural Detox Drink
