Reminders and Recipe

Hi all! How are you? So this is what happens when we screw up our planet enough. Recording breaking heat in Austin this summer (high of 110 today.. wtf.. I thought I left AZ-like heat!), earthquakes on the east coast followed immediately by a hurricane? bleh.. uncool. My thoughts are with everyone out East! Another crappy thing, on a far far far far (keep going) level, was this blog getting attacked last week! If you happen...

Paleo Attempt & Cooking Successes

I think I’ve written a couple versions of my promised follow-up ‘Paleo’ post. First I wrote a post while reading Robb Wolf’s Paleo Solution. It was a mix of agreeing and ‘holy egotistic author’!

FITNESS So it seems I’ve pretty much made the complete switch from using Yoga as a supplement for traditional “fitness” (in the...

Made Myself a Liar

Hi strangers!  So I’ve sat down so many times to write a post, then get distracted, or am not sure what to write, or.. something. But I miss you all! So I totally made a liar of myself! A couple posts back I mentioned that when I “disappear” it often means things aren’t so great.. but it’s so the exact opposite this time around! Things have been completely fantastic! So fantastic that I’ve...
