Recycling Taste Buds

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

I’ve been following Dr. Mark Hyman’s way of eating for about 2 months now, and I’m telling you, the stomach pains and  head aches are gone, I have more energy, and I’ve dropped a few pounds (without feeling deprived). So when I blow off the diet, my reason and the food had better be good.

Today’s reasons: a girls weekend away at a quintessential New England Inn – the beautiful and well tended Garden Gables -  and Parmesan truffle  fries at Firefly Restaurant, both in Lenox, MA.

It was like the perfect storm of happiness: enchanting surroundings, long, deep conversations, wonderful wines, and inspiring food.

Maybe you have to take a mini vacation from eating well to appreciate all how whole foods nourish the body. Sort of like taking a mini vacation from your family….

Recycling Listening Skills

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Bennett knows I’m an avid recycler and that I can’t throw anything away. He’s also smart enough to know that if he sits under the table and stares at me with those sweet, little eyes, I will probably share what’s on my plate. (He really loves my new way of eating.)

Don’t let his posture fool you. He’s not begging; he’s listening to me talk about our Earth Day plans (high holidays in this house) and our wavyo bags. (We’re doing a trunk show at the USA Fitness Center for Women in Mashpee – details to come!)

I know where I’ll be for Earth Day; what are your plans?

Recycling Recipes

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

I’ve been reading The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First and this guy (Dr. Mark Hyman) thinks I can eat my way to daily key location, size 8 jeans, sweet smelling elimination, and Doris Day moods.  Any system that promises to do these things, well, I’m in; or at least I think I am.

Unfortunately, I’ve learned that to fix my parts, I have to give up almost everything I love including ALCOHOL and CAFFEINE. Now I know I made some lofty resolutions, but they did not include sucking all the pleasure out of my eating day. Looks like I’m stuck with my poor memory, my Jessica Simpson jeans, my that-ain’t-right-but-everyone-does-it smell, and my UMS (ugly mood swings).

In celebration, I’ve taken my old watery, Weight Watchers, zero points, soup recipe and turned it into a glorious pot full of abundance. A bowl of this and a fishbowl full of Merlot – maybe I’ll just forget to weight myself.

And your resolutions?
