Surviving Intensity, Health Intact–and Keeping it that Way
Man was July tough! Working six days a week, often up to 15 hours a day can really take a toll on a person. Fortunately I fared far better this year than last, so I’m not feeling completely blitzed now that the calendar has flipped to August. I attribute this success to a number of [...]
even green junkies get the blues
For the last month or so I have been a pretty unhappy girl. The sun’s been out, work’s been low-stress, and I happen to live with the World’s Best Roommate, and yet the joy in my life seemed to have…disappeared. Every morning I would wake up hopeful, and every day by noon (at the latest) [...]
two week dream health challenge
This past week was uncharacteristically tough for me. On Wednesday, I woke up in one of the worst funks I can imagine, and nothing could shake it. I ate fruits and veggies, I headed to the river for a run with the fella in the hopes of soaking up some Vitamin D and releasing some [...]
blog follow-ups & a confession of a pescatarian
First, I wanted to take a quick second for a few small follow-ups: After some thought and reading responses to my name change post, the current leader for a new URL is GreenJunkieLiving.com. Any last suggestions/affirmations? I’ll likely begin the transition next week. I also wanted to make sure everyone’s seen the most recent healing [...]
the healing bookshelf
**Post updated to reflect a whole host of books I initially forgot, as well as provide a bit more organization after being inspired by Jen’s thorough write-up of her own bookshelf. In the States, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit with the Holistic Health Junkie herself. I perused her bookshelf and was so happy [...]
can i get a boost?
As we work towards our goals, the importance of a support network can’t be overstated. Making changes takes courage. Will my family tease me for ending my life-long love affair with bacon? Will my partner be annoyed that I kick him out of the living room every night so I can practice some asanas? If [...]
sickening sweet
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I have a pretty serious sugar sensitivity. This is one of those things that I’ve known for quite a while, but never wanted to admit just how serious it was. For better or worse, the Spent program helped me admit how negatively my body reacts to sugar and dairy. [...]
green smoothie love
My love of green smoothies is no secret. If you follow me on Twitter, you know I post about them often, and I’ve mentioned them on here more than once. They’re one of the first steps on the Spent program I’m doing, and my students have gotten so used to them that I no longer [...]
TED talks about health and nutrition
Jamie Oliver recently won the 2010 TED Prize and delivered a stellar talk focused on his One Wish to Change the World: I wish for your help to create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity. Oliver’s was my favorite [...]
spent update: awesome, awesome, wall.
Today is Day 14 of the Spent program, and I’m starting to feel a little frustrated. Two weeks is when I tend to lose steam with projects (14 happens to be the day I also dropped the ball with my daily sun salutations in December, I believe), but I’m trying to stay focused. The thing [...]
