I’ve been in Austin for over a week now, playing and partaking in SXSW. This is my fourth year to attend, but my first to attend as a teetotaler: that’s right, I haven’t drank a drop of alcohol this year. Normally, SX is a time of free parties, free booze, free food, and serendipitous finds…

I <3 Red Black Gym
Y’all know I like my workouts to look like play … Nature’s Garage Gym was my own personal playground, and then I did workouts on an actual playground. Well today I got to return to my roots at the Red Black Gym (nee SicFit) with the 1:15pm class with Big Mike. LOVED IT! Warmup: lots of…
Raw Milk
I tweeted recently about the stupid FDA spending my hard-earned tax money on a stupid poster AGAINST raw milk. This is stupid because: More people were killed last year BY SHARK ATTACK than raw milk Leafy greens are FAR MORE DANGEROUS than raw milk Sugar, sugar substitutes, and white flour kill more people in the…

HCG Diet Day 26 (Day 1 Strict Primal): All the Food I Ate
I had a lovely time eating today. I don’t expect to be this food-obsessed in the future, but it was nice to play with how much fat and food I could eat. I did get MUCH fuller MUCH faster, so I didn’t eat THAT much. Breakfast (10am): leftover kebab meat and spinach cooked in raw…
Book Review: The Paleo Solution
I just finished reading The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet by Robb Wolf. As I expected, it’s quite good as an excellent primer to paleo. When I first started eating paleo, I saw a lot of the “success stories” and understood that eating paleo is generally healthy, but no one could ever explain to…
Day 24 HCG Diet: Almost There!
This morning I weighed the same as yesterday. Looks like this is the number to keep! Once I’m done with the HCG Phase, I have to maintain within 2 pounds of this number or I have to do something to fix it. Shoutout to hellojody.com, a blog by a woman who is now doing the HCG…
Day 25 HCG Diet: Wahoo!
Yesterday was the final day of the hcg drops portion of the diet AND I’m down a pound! I can’t wait to eat … coconut milk, butter, cheese!! And I can’t wait to put on lip balm and lotion. LOTS of it!! Last day on drops (but not really on drops) 500 calorie day: Lunch…
Day 23 HCG Diet: I Stink
Literally. I stink. Have I hit ketosis? Am I eating too much garlic? Because I stink. I shower, I get out, and a smell radiates from my pores that is not the sweet scent of body wash (which, incidentally, I can’t use because you can’t use anything containing oils while on the hcg diet), but…
Day 22 HCG Diet
Weighed the same this morning. Cannot break this one number. Going to keep continuing until I do! Breakfast (11a): small apple Lunch (2p): salad, orange bell pepper, 1/2 bunch kale, 3.5 ounces chicken Snack (5p): went to happy hour at a place where they have incredible fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice. Ordered a small glass, SO DELICIOUS.…
