Our Story Is About To Become A Book… Yeah Baby!

randy — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 15:11:06 +0000

Throughout our lives together countless people have told Amy and I that we should write a book. We seem to have a knack for stumbling through life and doing things in ways that make for entertaining stories over a couple beers. Like this one time in Tijuana when we were drinking Tequila and this guys asks us... oh wait, we better stick to the health stuff for now!

Anyway, one of the more interesting stories has always been about my dramatic weight loss, what we went through as a family to get me back in shape and keep the whole family healthy. That experience and the lessons we learned along the way were the inspiration for our little health websi

randy — Thu, 31 May 2012 23:55:22 +0000

There are countless diets that come and go. Whether it’s the latest celebrity weight-loss regime or that ‘new super drug’ available from some shady internet company, we’ve all seen them. Some of us might have even tried them. But what about the DASH diet? It’s on a lot of people’s lips right now, and seems to have been that way for the last couple of years. That’s why I’ve written this basic overview, to help give you an idea as to what exactly the DASH diet is, and answer a few of those burning questions you might have.

Spirulina – Lean, Mean, And Green Baby!

Amy — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:29:11 +0000

As some of you may know, I had my first taste of spirulina just weeks ago during my reboot juice fast. I wanted to experiment while fasting, be brave, and try new things. Well, I was brave for sure and downed a glass of powdered spirulina in water = holy cow with the pasture in all! That’s what it was like too – a surprise taste of rich green farm pasture. I drank it all. Hey, I’ve downed much stronger tasting drinks actually, guzzled is more like it, so why be scared of the dark green super juice…right? Right…

It’s back to school this morning for the kids and back to almost normal for the baby and I today. It’s like coming out of the storm = ahhh. I woke very early again this morning, about 5:30 am. Doing a juice fast reboot has a way of getting me up early. This is one benefit that [...]

Amy’s Spring Reboot, Juice Fast Blog Day 7

Amy — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 11:01:15 +0000

REALLY? Alright, I woke with a morning headache again thanks to the cow, and I think it's finally dawned on me why. Don't take on a juice fast reboot, while taking on the world at the same time, lol... The cow finally kicked some sense into me, I think... Well, I've been kicked a few times now, so I hope I've gained some smarts vs. lost. ;)

Finally, I've made it to a morning waking with no reboot headache = yay me! Super mad- cow has left the house. I'm sure of it. Where she went, I don't even care... Ahhhh, what a good feeling. :)

Well, it looks like my weight loss is slowing down and leveling off. That's a good thing, because I think I lost it all in the rear, lol.... Dang, it's hard to keep a booty, if you know what I mean. ;)

Juice fast reboot Day 5 was good at 4:00 am. I woke in bed with no headache. I looked at the clock and thought, “It’s just waaay to early to be up.” Juicing has a way of getting me up very early in the morning. Sooo, in an attempt not to disturb anyone, I decided [...]

The Epitome Of Fad Diets, Why The Baby Food Diet Is Evil

randy — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 10:42:49 +0000

You know, I’ve wanted to write this post about the Baby Food Diet ever since I first heard of it, but have been avoiding it for one main reason. The Baby Food Diet and its creator, Tracy Anderson, both bring out the worst in me… nothing but negativity. Although those make for some popular posts, I’d rather not add to the vitriol that is so prevalent nowadays.

It’s a pea that keeps rattling around in my head though. So I thought instead of breaking out my poison tipped pen and calling Tracy Anderson every name in the book, why not use it as an example of the epitome of fad diets? By now the whole thing is old news, which means we can look back at how the fad played out. I'll try to keep my negativity in check.

Waking up this morning was much better than yesterday by far - no mad cows and no horrifying reboot headache. I do have just a mild headache, but expect it to clear once I get some water and juice into my system. I've got a baby wrapped up with me snuggling right now...that makes for a good morning no matter what. Though, I'm stuck watching "Timmy" the sheep while trying to check in here on the laptop = a bit much for me this early in the morning, lol. We get a lot of "Timmy" and "Shaun" the sheep around here...
