Oh I love gourds too but a society?! Who knew!

I love that quote, “After all, I’M not here to EAT. I’m here to LIVE”

I’m really struggling myself with cleaning up my diet. I feel like I need a detox which for me I see kind of like a re-set of my craving etc. I haven’t done one for about a year and Im loooooooong overdue.
I love reading of your vegan experiment. We ate at a place in Victoria called The Rebar on the weekend. You would love it! I think they might even have a recipe book…maybe check it out. All veggie but some is also vegan.
Happy detoxing!

You go Haley! Do what feels right for you in regards to food and exercise. I love squash, so many yummy things to do with it. Have to go buy some today…
I think you are right about the detox word, but I think the point is to rid yourself of addictions like sugar and caffeine so that you can start anew without awful cravings. So, to me, that is good!

I love squash! I usually just slice them in half and scoop out all the seeds & stuff. Then I place them in some water cut side down and steam them in the microwave with my favorite seasonings.
My mom would bake them in the oven cut side up with butter in the cavity (also in water though). YUM
I just had some acorn squash the other night…yummy and loads of fibre.

Waw! you look at peace with that diet, that’s great!!! Just make sure you get proteins for breakfast if possible. A lot of studies have shown that avoiding proteins in your first daily meal is the worst thing to do in a diet. It would eventually make you lose muscle and it would make your diet harder since you would feel more hunger!
Anyway, you seem to be on a great track right now!!! You can lose those 20 pounds, Yay!!!

butternut squash is easy to cook-and tasty, you can roast it, chop it up and steam it, i think you can even microwave steam it. Eat the squash, you'll be glad! alis last blog post..and just when I thought nothing would embarrass me...

Love your last two posts. have missed your Cheaty’s Gossip, but your words on your undergrad, the blur of it, the anxieties, etc., and your need now to have a good diet/sleep/lifestyle is completely echoing my thoughts…’cept I don’t quite have it together to make the leap into vegan-ism, organics, etc. you’re a bit of an inspiration right now!
