Each morning, I start the day with one cup of lemon ginger water. I call it “Sunshine in a Cup.” If you follow me on Instagram, you are probably bored with seeing the pictures. And you are probably getting tired of seeing the articles about it in the trendy magazines and on TV shows. Maybe,…
One of my goals is to travel more this year than I did last year. One of my other goals is to re-establish and reinforce my lifestyle using a Paleo/Primal template. One of the obvious challenges to traveling while living a lifestyle different from the mainstream is the lack of ability to control your environment.…
If you follow me on my primary site Mosaic Starfish, then you know that my Power Word for 2015 is DOMINATE. Yes, I am shouting it at you. It is a power word, it needs to be presented with intention. One of the ways that I intend to Dominate 2015 is by taking back control of my…
I wake, rise, contemplate the way I feel these days. In tune with feelings that for so long were my normal and unnoticed. Now, they are like voices, shouting at me. What are the feelings? Oh, the usual … I am bloated, cranky, dehydrated, sluggish. I miss the days of bounding out of bed full…
Those of us who have ventured away from mainstream eating habits are often asked this question. I was asked it often when I was a flexitarian. I was asked it the year I went vegan. And I am asked it often now that I am on the Paleo/Primal path. Most especially of curiosity to people…
Even before what I shall refer to as my ‘Paleo Experiment,’ I was diligent about my food choices. I read labels, I avoided soy and palm oil, and extra corn, and foods that had ingredients I couldn’t pronounce. Today while at the grocery, I noticed that the brand of ground beef I used to buy…
Today I am inside the count down window to a trip I have been planning since January of this year. Twenty-nine days until I get on a plane. When I planned this trip in January, I set for myself very real, very achievable goals for improving my fitness and fostering weight loss. Since setting those…
I have been out living life. Sticking more or less (more than less) to my version of a Paleo/Primal lifestyle. Sugar has been my weakness, I will admit it. Who can resist a fresh, real ice cream with the kids on a hot day? Or a fruit pizza at a picnic? Life is for living.…
As I offered pancakes and bacon (again) to my child for breakfast and received (again) the slight upturned lip of food boredom which was accompanied by my own upturned lip of food prep boredom, I began to wonder why we eat the foods we eat at the times of day that we eat them. Why…
If you’ve been following my journey (journeys?) with Whole30, you’ve probably been missing an update. The reason there hasn’t been one is because I keep having set backs. At least, they are set backs if I am calling myself ‘Whole30.’ If I call myself ‘Paleo’ or ‘Primal’ then it’s just another day. If I don’t…
(In case I’ve confused you with the title… yes, it is week four in the timeline…. I’m late with last week’s post~) Mother’s Day I indulged in a piece of lemon cake. I love me some lemon cake. To the point that when ever I’m watching a show or movie and they have lemon cake,…
Okay, here we go… updates from week two. I promise to talk about more than my food in the near future… Day Five Monday: I’m not eating enough fat. I’m snacky, super snacky. All day snacky. I didn’t really have that last time. Day Six Tuesday: Still snacky. And itchy eyes. Sweets … I want…
