Day 5 & 6 – Big Discoveries!

What started as a ” I wonder if I can do it” challenge has turned into a week of discovery…..sometimes it was easy and other times very difficult.  Being aware (very aware) of food choices has brought a lot of insights to me. I like challenges! In life, in work, in play.  I knew this about

Have you been hearing about this new food or seeing it appear on restaurant menus but not knowing what it is, much less how to pronounce it?  Here are a few things to know when trying quinoa! 1. How do you say it??  It’s pronounced “keen-wah”. 2. What does it taste like? To me, its

OH MY!

I ate a lot this past week!  And I was most aware of it on my morning run.  It was as if I could feel the dressing and pecan pie trying to pump through my veins and it wasn’t moving very well! But I wouldn’t change the last week.  It’s Thanksgiving and the holiday season.
