Last year, I did a milk cure for 3 weeks, blogged it and regained my health and perspective in the process. This year, I’m going to do it again. I’ve had a number of people ask me why I’m doing it for a second year and if its going to be a yearly ritual. This […]

Believe it or not, while I haven’t been posting, some things have been going on for me. The set point disappeared. So far in the first month of the year, I lost 4 1/2 pounds. I’m officially out of the 180’s. What is even more amazing is I did it without exercise. I also did […]

I’ll admit it, if I can figure out a way to keep myself healthy (or looking good) without using drugs or man-made chemicals which could harm myself or my environment, I’ll do it. It’s not a quick process, but the more I learn, the less I buy from stores and the more I make myself. […]

This month I embarked on my ketogenic (low carbohydrate) eating plan. I […]

While I know that most low carb diets don’t allow any dairy except hard cheese at the beginning (and Paleo allows no dairy at all), I had so much success with losing weight on the raw milk cure that I’m continuing to incorporate it into my low carb diet. A few days ago, I finally […]

Yesterday, I kept tugging at my pants. These are the work pants that feel most comfortable on me when I’m heavy. They have some give to them, so I’m not tugging at them, or feel like the button will burst off if I breath in too deeply. But yesterday, I kept fidgeting with them, and […]

Last month I had a plan to try to heal my ankle (for those of you not following along, the first week into this challenge last month I turned my ankle on a walk and have been dealing with issues since). My plan was to go back to the beginning of the 9 week EASA2 […]

I’m not afraid to admit my age, I’m 48 years old (almost 49). For most of my life, I’ve enjoyed good health. Like many people, I’ve gained weight as I’ve aged. And for me, losing weight has been a bitch. A week prior to my writing this post, I weighed in at 200 pounds. That’s […]
