Agave nectar or stevia. Both are natural sweetners that don't cause a spike in blood sugar, and both are very yummy!

I'm going through the same thing! Good luck finding that elusive balance:)

You seriously just made my day with that link!! I think I'm going to try the Lunar Flow class right now. Also...I'm pretty sure I should be able to put the videos on my Blackberry, so I should be able to take them with me everywhere I go.…

Cookies are on the menu today…right?
Shit. I totally screwed up today. I was craving cookies and chocolate all day yesterday, but I held myself back. Then I had a dream last night that I got into my secret stash of junk food hidden above the refrigerator. And then I came home from the hospital today and my dream turned into a frightening reality. Oops. 17 cookies, 630 calories and 32.75 grams of fat later, I felt like crap. I am considering this mistake a learning experience, however. I’ve never taken much notice of how the food I…See More

Thanks for the tips! I've actually been looking for a good place to eat lunch at the U. I had a friend show me where those places are today!

I gave Hy-Vee a try since their organic/health section is so big now. Found pure almond butter for $6-something. I made the peach-almond butter smoothie last night with some almond milk and a pinch of cardamom (also at Hy-Vee) and it was really…

New Pi has the best almond butter! You can grind it yourself at a little station across from the milk. It is soooo good. And it's nice to know there aren't any preservatives.
Too bad I didn't have you to show me around today and…

One day down! I hope you didn't get too lost. My boys were at the U for a month after they were born, and I felt like a pro getting around by the time they came home. You'll be fine:) Does New Pi have almond butter?
You Learn Something New Every Day
I learned three useful things today. First, if it is -20 degrees with the windchill, it's a good idea to wear a hat and gloves if you'll be walking outside. Second, it really is important to read the ingredients list on every food you buy. The primary ingredient in potato bread is wheat flour? What? Lastly, it is very helpful to put healthy foods where you'll see them the most frequently, and hide (for lack of a better word) the unhealthy food. Tonight, while I was making my lunch for tomorrow,…See More

I did get my groceries at the Co-op.
My first day of the internship went pretty well. I was only there for half a day, and basically spent it doing paperwork. Tomorrow will be my first whole day. I have to say I'm a little nervous. I'm not…

It's me again...I just got done reading your other blog posts and noticed that you started your internship today! I hope it went well:)
Abbey Abbott commented on Erin Collins's blog post 'Grocery Shopping and Beyond'
Hi! I am from Coralville:) Did you go to the Co-op? I went to Fareway in NL last night and spend the same amount:( FYI: They have a whole side of salmon in the freezer section for $4.99! I think there are about 6 servings.

Yep. It was me.
I'm not quite sure how it happened. Monday I was still doing great. I decided to extend the detox a couple more days (I felt insanely guilty for each all those cookies). I did my yoga video Monday night and I felt wonderful. I was still on a roll on Tuesday, but I skipped my upper body workout.
Fast forward to today. I haven't done any exercise since last Monday. A whole week! I've also indulged in some of my no-no foods: beer, chocolate and cheese. In… Read more

Grocery Shopping and Beyond

Last night I went grocery shopping for food to last me all of next week. I got everything on my shopping list except a few things (salmon and chicken; I'll buy those later so they'll be more fresh). And guess how much my bill was! $127.91. Holy crap! On the plus side, nearly all of my produce is organic. I suppose that makes it worth it.
So far, between the juicer and all the groceries I've bought, I've spent over $200 on this plan. I'm beginning to think that only rich people can be… Read more
