My Faithful Companion: Sugar Addiction

December 18, 2014 in Sugar Addiction

Maybe because it was my last stop for the day or maybe it was because I’m absent minded by nature but the other evening I found myself standing in the frozen food aisle of Trader Joe’s utterly confused. I had stopped to pick up a few things for the next day’s dinner. We were having […]

I have three thoughts this Thursday. Life is Like Berries. A Healthy Dessert. 30 Days of Paleo    Thought One – Life is Like Berries. Two weeks ago after a busy week in NYC followed by a fulltime family RV rally, we decided we needed a few days up in the mountains to unwind. Nearby there was […]

Water Kefir – How to Make the HEALTHY Soda Alternative

April 6, 2012 in Recipes

Glass of Water Kefir

We all know that soda isn’t good for us but giving it up can be hard. Are there any healthy alternatives to soda? You betcha! Water kefir, my favorite beverage, reminds me of cream soda with a slight tang. Personally, I prefer water kefir over kombucha. Both of these beverages are so enjoyable that I […]

This morning I lay in bed wondering about the state of my immune system and pancreas. That’s what most people think about upon waking, no? Since moving into an RV and hitting the road many things have changed.  I wake up to different surrounding almost every day.  I have a small refrigerator.  I have about […]

Kick Start Kick the Sugar Challenge

July 4, 2011 in Sugar Addiction

Today I went to Costco for the 4th time in 4 days.  It was a test of character. A test of strength. (Functional fitness, baby!) A test self-control. (Oh how I would love to sit down on my cart and eat that entire bag of cranberries right there in the parking lot.) I’ve been busy […]

That’s huge.

November 8, 2010 in Parenting, Sugar Addiction

Thank you for all the advice and thoughts in dealing with Halloween candy.  I’ve been thinking a lot about what you said all week and decided, since Halloween the “sugar season” kickoff, I’d like to delve into the issue more.

The Halloween Grinch

November 1, 2010 in Sugar Addiction

As a kid, Halloween was one of the most fun nights of the year.  I would sprint through the neighborhoods as if I was being chased by a stranger trying to get to as many houses as possible until the last porch light was turned off.  In a way, I was being chased except my […]

5 Reasons I Don’t Play in Candyland.

August 18, 2010 in Sugar Addiction

Yesterday, I was walking while my kids were in taekwondo when I stopped in my tracks. Scattered over the sidewalk in front of me were little pieces of my past. PEZ! When I was a kid I would buy the Pez multi-packs and not even bother putting them in the dispenser.  Scandalous. Oh how I […]

Candy. Soda Pop. Fun?

March 26, 2010 in Musings, Sugar Addiction

Last week, I was sad.  It happens. On my way home from errands I decided to stop here because I was depressed hot and wanted a cool drink.  And a distraction from the aching feeling that my life wasn’t enough.  (Ultimately, I know I am enough but sometimes it just doesn’t feel like it.) “Candy, […]

Sugar? So what?

August 26, 2009 in Sugar Addiction

It’s not just me, those other “health nuts”, or dentists who think Americans need to reduce their sugar consumption.  The American Heart Association released a statement on Monday saying sugar can contribute to heart attacks.  From CNN.com (CNN) – A sweet tooth could lead to a heart attack, the American Heart Association warns. Americans are […]
