Replace "Oz" with "Oprah". My sister thought she was God. It was/is disgusting what spews out of their mouths and people actually stop and listen. Just my opinion of course...

Last night I watched a great DVD, Forks over Knives. It's about how one can lessen or reverse many chronic health problems by eating a plant-based diet. I started about a month ago and though I haven't lost much weight - probably due to eating too many plant-based items, the pain in my hips and knees has lessened, I sleep…

My usual smoothie is 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk, 1 cup of blueberries, 1/2 banana, maybe a strawberry or two, and a big handful of spinach. Once in a while I toss in a scoop of protein powder. YUM lol the other day I made my own version of a V-8: 1 cup organic carrot juice, 1 whole tomato, sliced, a pinch of fresh…

WhooHoo! Thanks for sharing a fabulous feel-good, motivating moment! You just may have changed her life. Way to go!!

1. 2 jars of Dale's raw protein powder 2. Medical coding books from Amazon 3. Groupon for kitchen stuff 4. Groupon for pocket camera. (I LOVE Groupon!) lol

Online: Dale's raw protein powder. It's all plant based, dehydrated below 115 degrees so it retains all nutrients, no whey, no sugars, all organic and healthy. I put it in many of my veggie smoothies. It's made with pea, hemp and rice proteins. 1 scoop is 91 cal, 1 g fat, 1 g carb, 20 g protein. It's fabulous!

I've tried a few but Once Again Raw Creamy Almond Butter is THE best I've ever had. It doesn't get hard in the fridge and tastes so good it's almost like a dessert.

I usually put ground flax seeds in my baking; muffins-in-a-minute are yummy with blueberries, quick to make (naturally!) and my own recipe for crackers. I also use ground flax seeds for my smoothies. I put chia seeds on or in my salads. Make sure they don't stick to your teeth! Both are such an easy way to get extra…

sea salt, raw garlic, walnuts soaking in water (in the fridge), red bell pepper chips, homemade kale chips, cantaloupe, meyer lemons, fresh pineapple, raw ginger, fresh kale, spinach, sweet peppers, pure maple syrup, agave syrup, organic buckwheat, organic cornmeal, almond flour, coconut oil & flour. I can't think of…

Great job!! WTG! :) Nice jeep!!

Mine too! i can't even access it from my phone at work either! waaaah :)

mmmmmmm Bacon... "breakfast of Champions"! :happy:

I don't have to be at work until 9:30 a.m. so I'm up between 5-6 and get in a good 2 mi walk with hand weights then come home and stretch or hit the elliptical/treadmill/weights for 45-60 min. It makes a world of difference to me to do it early, otherwise I would find any excuse possible to NOT exercise in the afternoon.…

Looks yummy and sounds delicious!

Halstead H.S. Dragons pretty small class. I think there were 41 but can't remember that far back! lol

I'd love to!! I need the push. Count me IN!!

Wow. Dating myself.. Parker Stevenson from the Hardy Boys but then I saw Larry Wilcox on CHiPs and was madly in love. Just somethin' about older men. :love:

....swam with the whales

Just saw this and will make this recipe this morning with applesauce and flaxseed flour. It sounds delicious!!! Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the article. I'm 24/25, not bad. But what rock have I been under? Lychee? Sounds more like a yoga pose to me. :) I'll have to look for some and try them out. My problem is that though I go to a Nutritionist/dietician at an eating disorder clinic, I'm not losing weight. Even she said I shouldn't be having…

The same thing happens to me with oranges; orange juice, even someone just peeling the dang thing. My throat itches, I cough, difficult to breathe. what's funny is that I can't even drink orange pop; same thing happens and there's not a real orange-anything in that. i can eat grapefruit and have no problems with…

One day while walking I got "mooed" by some younger kids as they quickly drove past. I couldn't help but flip them off. :)

Burnsville, MN, USA.

Being with horses. To be working with, around and even cleaning up after, would be a dream job. I doubt I'd consider it work. :heart:

They also have a lot of organic foods. I love shopping there.

I am sooo guilty of doing this! It's nice to know I'm not the only one. It bogs down my mind some days. (I think way too much!) My thought is if it's gone then I won't have to worry about craving it so I eat it all, usually in 1 or 2 sittings. Once the bf brought over a peach pie and we had our 1 piece each. As soon as he…
