(My cookbook addiction collection)
We are still trying to get things in order with our new rental house....I guess it's still new (we moved in mid December)! It seems like every weekend I have a long to-do list to conquer and then we just run out of steam. We have so many good intentions, but then we just want to have some down time. I keep up with my classes at the gym on the weekend because they are more like a hobby than anything else. I love going to kickboxing on Saturday mornings and I am really learning to love spinning too. I did get most of the kitchen taken care of a couple of weeks ago. Most importantly, I got my cookbook collection out where I can use them. Yay! I have so many vegan cookbooks! The one thing that's left to do in the kitchen is to put the kitchen island together that I ordered online so we will have some more storage and counter top space. Then we can move on to smaller kitchen projects like the one I have in mind to organize the spices. (Hopefully I will be able to take pictures and show you how I did it later.) But another reason I have not been doing much on the house is because I have been a little preoccupied with this......
I can't put this book down! I started it last week and I am a pretty slow reader but I have been trying to read every spare second I have. It's a trilogy so I have a feeling I will be a little preoccupied with it until I am finished with all 3 books. It's so good. I definitely recommend it if you haven't read these books yet.
I have been back on Pinterest finding some more inspiring quotes and images. I thought I would include some of those.......
(I had to include this Jillian Michaels quote. I miss her so much on the Biggest Loser. Season 13 is HORRIBLE. I am trying to decide right now whether or not I want to just give up on it. Bob and Jillian work so well together. It's a shame that this season is so terrible.)

Hey there! I'm about to start Eat to Live, and I remembered that you have done it. Are you still following any of his guidelines? How are you (did you) like it?
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to some healthy eating.
Hey Leah! The one thing I have really kept up is having a salad at lunch everyday. I feel like it makes me feel more satisfied with what I am eating at lunch. I pack my lunch everyday so I always just makes sure I have a spinach salad and usually I will put edamame and quinoa on it with vegan ranch that I make. I still eat a ton of produce and I try to eat leafy greens everyday. I will usually have some kind of leafy green every night at dinner. Once again, it makes me feel more satisfied with my food. Eat to Live definitely pushes you in the direction of healthy eating. I have incorporated some things back into my diet that Dr. Fuhrman probably wouldn't like too much--cereal, chocolate, stevia, and a little bit of caffeine. I also snack between meals. Overall, I still feel like I mostly follow the majority of the Eat to Live guidelines. Dr. Fuhrman has a website called Disease Proof. I have the blog on my blogroll to the right of my page. There are some great articles. Also, I have Healthy Girl's Kitchen blog to the right of my page as well. She follows the Eat to Live principles and posts a lot of recipes. Good luck! :)
