Well after a great start getting back to eating to live more consistently last week, this week has been a bit more challenging. Namely because we ate out to eat a LOT more....almost every day. Ug. This goes back to my not preparing enough foods to have on hand for quick meals. Plus, my mom was in town and my kids were having Meet the Teacher events and it was just easier to go to a restaurant afterwards... While there are plenty of plant-based choices as most restaurants, they aren't always WHOLE food plant based. The biggest problem is oil.

Well, it's been a while since I've posted my food diary for all to see. Summer time has been tough since my two young boys are home and we've been on vacation off and on. I stopped writing down what I ate and unfortunately, that's not a good thing for me. See, just the act of writing down what I eat really helps me stay much more accountable. Not that I ate really bad this summer - I did ok. I've been, I'd say, 98% plant-based, but we've eaten out a lot and the hidden oil and salt and processed

This was a tough week, but I managed to keep my eating under control through all the emotions; I'm really glad I kept my food diary close by so I couldn't cheat & pretend it didn't happen. We went to the funeral of my brother's best friend, Pnut, and it was SO well attended. He touched so many lives in his short 40 years and it was evident in the packed church and friends & family who spoke so eloquently of his impact on them. Since I knew we were going out of town and were taking our RV (thank
WOW! I have truly gotten out of the the habit of writing in my food diary. And unfortunately it's taken its toll. So here is the good, bad, and the ugly: My Eat to Live Food Diary Week 22....although not really 22....but it just seemed easier to just pick up right where I left off numbering wise, even though a few months have passed since Week 21.... The last time I posted a food journal was August. Now, it's January. And since I LOVE (seriously) New Year's Resolutions, I'm going to make a resolution to commit to these food journals.

Are you an emotional eater like I am? It's something I've struggled with for a while and it's practically ingrained in to our society. We eat when we are happy, we eat when we are sad, we eat when we are angry, we eat when we are bored, we eat when we celebrate, we eat when someone dies. We pretty much find any excuse, reason, or justification so we can to eat junk food. It's not called comfort food on accident. We are basically taught from an early age to emotionally eat. My drug of choice when emotional eating....savory snacks

I get this question often about people worrying that they won't get enough calcium from a plant-based diet. Mostly they have been marketed to, like most of us have, to believe that they have to drink milk or consume lots of dairy products to get enough calcium. Nothing could be further from the truth. Actually, when you look at the WHOLE picture you find something a little more interesting about dairy and strong bones. Does cow's milk make strong bones? First of all, you need to know that dairy is an animal product and that all animal products are acidic

This week 23 was overall pretty good. 4 of the 7 days I got my uncooked veggies in, but I need to do a little better to eat my salad daily. However, what happens when I forget to write in my food diary for just a couple days? Old habits die hard. If you are struggling right now, don't beat yourself up! Change is hard! I managed to stay away from temptation mostly, until we decided to take our boys bowling on the weekend.... Why is it that everything in our society pretty much revolves around food? It is so

One of my biggest fears about going plant-based was 'What do I do when we go on vacation?!' I was so committed to this new lifestyle, that I didn't want to become derailed every time we went on a road trip. We like to travel. A lot. So every few months couldn't be an excuse to lose my way. This is a lifestyle. Not a temporary diet to be ditched the second we go on vacay. So what to do? Luckily, the world is changing and finding plant-based or vegan-friendly options is becoming easier. But how do you find those

It's so nice to be back from vacation and able to get back into a good routine of eating healthy and not being tempted at every turn. I'm starting to feel more comfortable with this way of eating and not stressed about what to make each day. I like finding simple meal ideas like just a sweet potato, quinoa, and steamed veggie - easy and filling! Even my kids like that as a meal. Score! I did go try a vegan restaurant in Fort Worth called Spiral Diner and Bakery. My mom and I went there while she was visiting.
