Heather commented on Leah Gross's blog post 'Sugar and Salt?'"Such a good reflection, and something I often forget. I really like salty foods WAY more than sweet ones, but I do recognize that connection now that you mention it. It's been awhile since I've dug out The Hip Chick's Guide to…"
Sarah Rose Cavanagh commented on Heather's blog post 'Day 9: Getting better!'"Great pre-planning Heather! And dealing with stress!"
Sarah Rose Cavanagh commented on Heather's blog post 'Day 8: Not Liking Retoxification So much'"Heather, I like to saute some garlic and oil, then add peppers and mushrooms, and then the egg beaters- gives them more weight and flavor. I also use egg beaters instead of egg whites even though I think they have some chemicals in them - :( - they…"
Heather posted a blog postDay 8: Not Liking Retoxification So much
Still feeling pretty crappy. Damn you, lady time and possible cold brewing in my system. I will fight you both!So, I guess I should share something: after being a strict vegan for 2 years, I have decided to introduce some animal products back into my life. I will probably be dairy-free until the day I die (intense, intense lactose intolerance) and can't picture myself eating land animals, but I have decided to incorporate local, organic, cage-free eggs and some seafood back into my diet. Trying…See More
Heather commented on Leah Gross's blog post 'Branching out with Vegetables'"I like slicing and roasting beets with olive oil and sea salt. It's simple, but oh so tasty!"
Patty Gagnon commented on Heather's blog post 'Day 6: Greens Every Meal!'"We're huge tempeh fans too, even though we're not vegetarian. I think the combination of fiber and protein, as well as the taste and texture, make it a fantastic choice in many dishes. I marinate it and use it in wraps as well. Glad it…"
Heather commented on Whole Living's blog post 'Weekend Detox Worries: What About My Muffin?'"Through blogs, I've found a lot of people are having a harder time at home (weekend time!) on the detox since they are surrounded by temptation, but I'm having the opposite effect. I spent Thursday and Friday holed up in bed/on the couch,…"
Heather commented on Patty Gagnon's blog post 'Much better day 3 of full detox'"Detox is so weird! I am also craving foods I haven't eaten in forever.
Avocados are magical, and I am so glad you are learning you don't hate them! I've also lost about that much weight which wasn't a goal but I'm not…"
Heather commented on Audris Wong's blog post 'Reality Intrudes'"So sorry about the chaos of your morning! Two of my friends have had pipes burst and ruin their possessions this weekend, as well. Darn cold!
But yes, I am feeling the need for comfort food right now. I started craving mac & cheese - something…"
Patty Gagnon commented on Heather's blog post 'Day 4: Liquids and Lessons'"Will do! Thanks Heather."
Heather posted a blog postDay 5: Detoxing All The Way
Today, I did not get enough greens. I am lacking energy and feeling EXHAUSTED at 9:30PM, despite the fact that I've done a whole lot of nothing today. My plan was to have green juice or a green smoothie for dinner, but that didn't happen. Oh well.BreakfastCherry Coconut Smoothie in a bowl (kind of a repeat from last night, minus the cacao - and I ate it in a bowl to make it last longer!)Yogi Detox tea with steviaLunchGigantic romaine salad with cannelini beans, hemp seeds, grape tomatoes,…See More
Heather commented on Heather's blog post 'Day 4: Liquids and Lessons'"Patty, I mix 1 tbls of tahini with 2 tbls of water, 1.5 tsp of lemon, sea salt & pepper to taste, and probably about 1/2 tsp of dill. Whisk together, pour over gigantic salad, and enjoy!"
Patty Gagnon commented on Heather's blog post 'Day 4: Liquids and Lessons'"This is full of such good reminders, I was chuckling when I read your post. I'm feeling the same way about my elliptical and found too that what I thought was hunger was something completely different. I love your menu. Do you make your own…"
Curry Newton commented on Heather's blog post 'Day 4: Liquids and Lessons'"Heather, your menu sounds great! Wow, if you were doing the weekly menu suggestions I might have tried the detox. I'm a baby. Keep on going, it sounds like you are doing GREAT! Mrs. Idontexercise"

Day 10: Strength is Wavering
Posted on January 13, 2010 at 9:19pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
How is it possible to feel great one day and horrible the next? Today I woke up and the thought of food was nauseating. OK, then, I took it as a sign to sit in silence and breathe. It's hard to meditate because I can't silence my mind, so breathing and relaxing works so much better. I've been trying to turn off all the background noise, especially since I'm the kind of person who likes to have the TV or music on in the background as I work. While I think this is because I have some sort of… Read more
Day 9: Getting better!
Posted on January 13, 2010 at 8:39am 1 Comment 0 Likes
(Wrote this last night, but forgot to post it.)
Today has been a whirlwind. First day of Spring semester, first day back on campus among the chaos, and the first day of trying to figure out the eating situation. I leave my house around 9AM and don't get home until 7PM. Sure, I can bring snacks and a packed lunch, but do you think I am that well prepared? (No, I'm not. Sometimes, but not today.)
On the days I am at school, I consider all the walking I do as my activity. It… Read more

Day 7: Detox Done!
Posted on January 10, 2010 at 8:22pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I'm just gonna say it: today sucked. I woke up with a fierce hunger in my stomach - something that rarely happens. I'm a breakfast kind of person, but I never wake up STARVING. I wake up ready for a light but filling meal. Sometimes that's a gigantic smoothie, other times it's a veggie/tempeh scramble, and sometimes I just want a big bowl of warm grains (quinoa flakes are my new favorite). Today I didn't have a craving for anything particular, but I knew that it had to be WARM and light on my… Read more
