whole "foody"

So, my little foody self met her new friend "health conscious". I just finished a detox. A 14 day crash course into all things vegan and nutty...at least that's how I felt (and by nutty, I meant full of nuts;)).
There have been some health concerns of mine that weren't being addressed in the medical field, so I decided to venture into the "unknown".
Things I've learned:
~I have a moral objection to hatin' on meat. I think it's necessary. And that's that.
~I need lots of veggies. Lots and lots of green delights:)
~Water is life giving. Why didn't I drink enough?
~Quality and quantity of food makes the experience of eating oh so delicious...but not at first. I wanted to eat my right arm.
~ Omegas are my best friends. I sprinkle flax seed on just about everything. And did you know you can eat chia pet hair??? Awesome.
~I like making sprouts. Watching something grow that you took care of makes it tastier. Maybe I'll tackle a square foot garden?
Oh, and as if the torture wasn't enough of a detox, I met another good friend, Tony Horton. P90X? My word. I love it though. I have abs (barely visible, but abs none the less).
I feel healthy~
And I eat well.
And I want to be a chef when I grow up;)

  1. My sister Megan is doing P90x, too.

    Do you ground the flax seeds or use them whole? I've heard grinding them is better for you..but I can't remember.

    Good for you getting all healthy and nutty :)
