I’ve just spent a few days on the slopes. The slippery slopes of giving in to voice of my addictions. I didn’t slide too far, but I slid fast. It started with a dinner with a friend where I ate the marinara sauce and told myself that it was an okay or lesser evil option. Why I […]
I picked up a friend at the airport tonight. He was hungry and wanted pasta. So I took him to a local beloved Italian Restaurante, Lido’s. I was hungry too. And I really wanted something other than what I’d been having everyday which was a slightly sweet green smoothie or energy soup. He ordered lasagna […]
After weighing in on Monday morning to find that I’d lost two pounds, I decided that I would lose 10 pounds a month (I’d add in daily aerobic exercise). I sat down and charted it all out. Oct. 13 – 206 Nov. 13 – 196 Dec. 13 – 186 Jan. 13 – 176 Feb. 13 – […]

I broke my apple juice fast yesterday. It was heaven to have something savory and slightly tart – almost orgasmic. After 7 days of apple juice almost anything with salt would have sent me into raptures. But sauerkraut juice brought so much more to the table than just salt. It was seductive – whispering to […]
I’m finally in the place where food isn’t important. It happened yesterday. I’m not sure if it was a low-level depression, or just tired, or detoxification taking hold of me. But I didn’t care about eating. In this place, I know that I can go the distance of the 30-day juice cleanse. It’s strange to […]
This post goes back to “Just Ask” – I promised to share the gifts that were given to me when I called out for help. The first to answer was my friend Brenda. Brenda just happens to be a Kabbalah coach and she offered to help me. I accepted and we began working together of […]
