I’ve been really busy this week, working, teaching yoga, and catching up from being in Florida last week, so I don’t have much to share except a salad I ate today. I’m not actually a huge fan of salads, but if they have certain qualities (like NOT big huge fluffy greens), I’m happier. I like …
I’m so glad I set this three-day challenge for myself. It’s so easy on my brain—generally when I set challenges, they’re complicated or they take a lot of thought and very specific effort (like schedules of what to eat when, etc.). This simple plan to nourish my mitochondria is specific regarding amounts of certain foods …

Sometimes I set goals and then I forget about them, and never even take one tiny step toward reaching them. I can’t really explain this, but it just happens sometimes. On the other hand, sometimes I set goals and I have a one-track mind about reaching them (like that time I wrote 150 pages of …

I was really lucky tonight…I went to see Matthew after school at my Dad’s house, and found out he was staying for dinner…so I got 3.5 hours with him instead of 1. We did homework, and then made a drag racer out of tinker toys. Then we played Connect 4 (the new version—but we used …
In the winter, I’m not very enthusiastic about green smoothies or juice, but I do like to eat a lot of salads. See, since I dropped grains out of my diet, I’ve had some people pick on me about how all I’m eating is cheese and meat (lots of Atkins Diet jokes coming my way). …
At the risk of sounding a little (or a lot) repetitive…I’ve been really busy. I had to teach a two-hour lecture yesterday about sexual and reproductive health to a bunch of 20 year-olds. I’ll be honest with you, it was not high on my list of things I wanted to do…ever. In general, I over-prepare …
I’ve felt slightly off-track lately with food and fitness. My yoga teacher went to India for a month, so I boycotted yoga. I canceled my gym membership at the million dollar fancy gym (ok, it was only $115 a month…but geez). I had a hip problem, and a hip flexor problem…and a lower back problem. …

People often want to talk to me about toxicity, or usually, they want to ask me what I think of detox diets or how they can tell if they need one. Want me to be totally honest? I answer differently every time, depending on what I know about the person who is asking me. When …

Joe and I found out that Owl House is having a set dinner menu this evening, and as a result we decided to go there for lunch while Matthew was still with Mimi (my mom). Win! For dinner, it looks like we’ll be stuck with the original plan (to please my rib-lovin’ nephew), and we’re …

I have a problem. Really, it’s not natural for one person to have so many email addresses. If I teach for six schools (or is it seven?), that means I have email logins and online classroom logins to remember for each of them (even the face-to-face classes are web enhanced). That causes me to have …
