Preface I eXercised almost daily for two years. The last several months my activity level has dropped… mainly due to Ollie and work. I still go for 15-30 minute walks twice a day, lift heavy things 1-3 times a week and perform intense cardio 1-2 times a week. So I am not ‘slacking off’ too …

Sometimes I exaggerate a title to ‘lure’ readers into my blog, other times I try to create an intriguing title to ‘lure’ them. I am doing neither with this post’s title. We were NOT in danger of dying … but we easily could have been injured on the algae covered, coral encrusted, jagged rocks. I violated …
On the next to the last day in Wilmington, NC (see previous post, “Thriving in Wilmington“) I made a grocery run. I purchased a beef round roast (it was on sale) and decided to slice it up thin, braise in bacon and add to a salad. Why did I slice and braise as opposed to broiling …
If patience is the only virtue… I’d be virtue-less. I’m sure you have heard of the biblical story relating to the ‘patience of Job’. I have so little patience, I have the patience of Jo. :) I purchased a Corned Beef Brisket that was ‘pre-spiced’…. I was STOKED, this would be my first attempt …
I had to drive my son back to Wilmington, NC and yesterday was my first full day. I wanted to give you an idea of my ‘day’ so you would see that at 50 years old, as a former diabetic and formerly obese person… I am TRULY THRIVING!!! … not just surviving. A phrase that …

“Primal Girl in a Paleo World” ~Joy Young My good friend Joy Young tweeted that phrase the other day… and it immediately hit me in a profound way. Background Joy and I have been friends for over two years… it seems as if it was a decade ago! I was investigating primal living… but I …

My goal is to reduce the amount of inflammation in my environment, including my body. I decided to go dairy free again to test a previous dairy and diabetes experiment.

In this previous post I discussed fermented foods. The process of fermenting is a positive thing for everyone… ESPECIALLY for diabetics.

This makes ‘fermenting’ …
Are fermented foods diabetic friendly? They can be, but certainly not all fermented foods are diabetic friendly. We’ll discuss the main reasons why.
