As I discussed in the last post Creating Your Plan, the plan itself is an essential component to success on any lifestyle program. If you live in the United States and many other Western countries, you’re likely to live in a culture where your environment is far from health promoting. The norm is to eat […]
Creating Your Plan
Part 2 of my lessons from working with Dr. Glenn Livingston of Never Binge Again…. Go back to Part 1 here. There are two keys to making your goals a reality: 1) Deciding where you want to end up and 2) Starting out on that path. You don’t have to plan for every single pot hole or detour on […]
A Feast of Gratitude
For years I’ve been asked about what vegans eat at Thanksgiving. Many seem to forget about the plethora of vegetarian sides found on almost every single table in the country – mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potato pie, green bean casserole, corn, squash, roasted veggies, cranberry sauce, and so many more. Fortunately, making vegan versions of […]
Baked Stuffed Apples
I’m always on the lookout for a sweet treat that’s also hearty and healthy. One of my fellow comrades in Chef AJ’s Ultimate Weight Loss group created this recipe. I made a tiny modification and it was an instant favorite. It’s like a mug of mulled cider by the fire on a chilly fall evening […]
Eat What You Want When You Want
Eat what you want, when you want. Walk away from food that speaks to you or calls your name. And never look back. Walk into a holiday party with a plan in mind and walk out happy as a lark because you stuck to your plan. Spend a week on vacation and come back having […]
Meatless Monday Recipe: Vegan Acorn Squash Burgers
I have enjoyed many homemade veggie burgers in the past. Some more than others. Some more complicated and time consuming than others. These patties were the epitome of time well spent. Seriously yummy. Combine acorn squash, cranberries, hearty oats, carmelized onions and pecans, shape it into a burger, and you end up with a fall […]
Mary Mary Quite Contrary, How Does Compassion Grow?
Last weekend as I was running out to do errands, I was driving along enjoying the fall colors and noticing they were just about passed. It was quiet in the car. I was lost in thought. For some reason I had been seeing more animals hit by cars than usual. There was a skunk just outside […]
Pittsburgh Adopts Meatless Monday!
Understanding the impact that meat consumption can have on sustainability, the environment, and public health, Mayor Bill Peduto has signed a Proclamation recognizing Nov 2, 2015 as Meatless Monday. The Proclamation urges everyone to choose healthful foods other than meat, at least one day a week. Restaurants, Universities, public schools, and workplaces are eager to […]
World Vegan Day – Spread the Compassion
November 1st is World Vegan Day. It’s a great opportunity to take a step back and think about things from a broader perspective. It’s easy to get caught up in veganism as a set of dietary selections. Yes, that is the facet of veganism that gets discussed the most among vegans and not-yet-vegans (Yep, I’m […]
Finding the Finish Line
I did it! I accomplished a major milestone. I completed my first half marathon. 13.1 miles, one step at a time. What a rush! I learned a lot in my training that I hope to continue applying to everyday life as I move on to the next challenge to be conquered. For those struggling […]
