For a week and a half I haven’t had any refined cane sugar. I’ve had agave, maple syrup, and regular sweet fruit. But nothing more. I wanted to get over my sugar cravings that I had while I was working all the time. And going vegan did that, but the killer sugar made sure of it. After Tuesday night, I don’t want to see sugar … Continue reading The Case of the Killer Sugar
Since I’ve been staying vegan, I’ve been researching and trying out new recipes. I’ve always been a huge fan of cookies, mainly chocolate chip cookies. They are probably the biggest reason that I started this program. Eating tons of badly processed cookies, does not make you feel good.

I healed my back. I can walk for longer periods of time without pain, my feet aren’t asleep when I get up, and I can sit for longer periods without pain.
I practice these observances out of a desire to avoid the chaos that comes of not practicing them and out of a desire to know the truth about myself. — Meditations from the Mat, Day 61 by Rolf Gates and Katrina Kenison I read this entry in Meditations from the Mat last night. I highlighted this quote as I thought was a good statement. However, … Continue reading Practice to Avoid the Chaos
To food that is, or maybe its just the sugars present in most of the foods we consume. Who isn’t addicted to that these days? All those colorful adds telling you how amazing you’ll look and feel after you eat this or drink that. (surprise, you’re actually eat a ton of sugar!) We are constantly bombarded by colors and questions and positive statements pointing us … Continue reading I’m addicted…
