I eat mostly vegetarian because I’m against factory farming. But the truth is, even before I was veggie I rarely ate red meat. I was more of a chicken or fish girl I guess? So, chicken is really the only thing I miss in not eating meat. That all changed today when I discovered this new find – meat free…

Not Homeless
Good news! I’m not homeless! Our apartment management people finally got back to us and said we could stay if we signed a lease for at least six months. We wanted to go month to month, like they originally offered, but that was off the table. So, we signed the lease to avoid the headache of moving. If we have…

The Love Child
I used to read the message boards on a fitness magazine website. There were a lot of girls/women that were either trying to lose weight or trying to recover from an eating disorder.

Non Food Guilty Pleasure
I have a lot of food related guilty pleasures…(hence the reason these damn 10 pounds stick around no matter how much I run). Like whole veggie pizzas, just for me… And so much frozen yogurt I would definitely beat Man vs. Food in a YogurtLand competition… But, I also have a non-food related guilty pleasure…television.

My Food Philosophy
I am reading Naturally Thin and am really liking it! Yesterday I got to a section in the book where you fill in things about your eating habits, food preferences and food philosophy. That last one stopped me in my tracks. I mean, I have a food blog, I have very strong views on food issues, yet I haven’t voiced…

Chocolate Covered Truth
I swear to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the Chocolate Covered Truth on this blog 🙂 Look at the Dove promise I found inside my candy tonight… “Chocolate-coated truth tastes better.” I had every intention of being truthful about my post-dinner indulgences, but this wrapper made sure I would! Lunch was what I consider a “normal…

Shy Fruit
There is fruit underneath that mountain of cereal, cashews and chia seeds…it’s just shy! See 🙂 My breakfast had cantaloupe, strawberries and bananas as the fruit component. This picture shows them peeking through a little bit more… I started the day with Jillian’s 30 Day Shred level 1 and a walk with Ben. It was a very nice way to…
