Just over a month ago, in the post Even Saints Miss the Mark Every Now and Then [Medication Free Pregnancy], I told you about my temptation to go on meds, for my once healthy thyroid, for the sake of my developing baby Sprout.

Dealing with the Feelings
Today marks the beginning of week #6 of our pregnancy.

Crazy on Greens–How I Worked out for THREE Hours on 16 oz of Green Smoothie
Crazy? Yes, totally! A couple of days ago one of the instructors at the gym where I teach texted to see if I would sub her class today. Softie that I am, I said "YES", and my usual 2-hour workout Saturday turned into three, back-to-back, hours of teaching. And, since I am all hands on and do everything that I tell my students to do, I am now relaxing. Having burnt … Read More

Even after S&H charges, which I did not have to pay when I lived in Washington, I still saved about $50-60! I also found a new knife sharpener for my kitchen [I am telling you--it does not take much to get me excited]. ;) Since it feels … Read More

Creamy Kale Green Smoothie Recipe {Cleanse Day 2}

Due to my workout schedule I felt that my body was under a bit of stress, so, instead of just getting … Read More
