Hi Peeps! (Yes, Daniel you are one of my peeps!!!Hi!!!)
Tons of blog postings will be coming soon! Just because I have been on hiatus from posting on the blog while I am relocating, does NOT mean that I am on hiatus from research and practicing a whole foods lifestyle (except it was VERY HARD during my last 2 weeks while I was 'in transition'! Thank goodness for Amy's!!!)In the mean time - GO get the newest issue of Clean Eating Magazine! go go go go - there's a whole section on yummy 'foil packed' meals that are super quick, easy, and NO CLEAN UP (foil is 100% recyclable too!) GOOOOOO!
It is very very very very hard to maintain a whole foods lifestyle if you don't have anywhere to cook or anything to cook with! It's also very hard when you're eating out for a lot of your meals! If you've been keeping up with stuff here, you know that I cannot stomach the thought of all the hormones and chemicals and CRAP they feed our animals that we use as a food source - let's not even get into inhumane treatment here! As such, when I can't have 'humanely treated - hormone/chemicals/crap free' meat, I will either go vegetarian, or order locally caught fish (wild fish!) - or, pork - because did you know that it is ILLEGAL to give hormones to pork...but they can give them therapeutic antibiotics and even some growth promoters (even though that's more common in the cattle industry than in pork, but you never know!)
Let me tell you that because of the crappy way I have been eating in the last month or so I have once again suffered joint pain, poopy moods, and sleeplessness and then fatigue.
I am very happy to tell you that I am 100% back on the bandwagon again, and am going whole food whole hog - along with my side-quest to eliminate as many toxins from my life as possible (found a pretty good deodorant at LUSH U.K. - hope they have it in N.A.!)
And I am hoping to dedicate at least 1 post to BABY STUFF (because I am taking care of my sweet baby niece this week and I am crashing with her and her fam for a while, and I am a little dismayed at the CRAP they put in baby food and baby products!)
YAY for the baby stuff - would love to hear what your research drums up! No antibiotics and hormones for my baby!!!!! Tell me more about the correlation between your food choices and joint pain?
ReplyDeleteJeannette - I think one of your posts should be a week-long meal planner for those just venturing into the whole food world - easy recipes with easy to find ingredients, etc. Maybe it wouldn't seem so overwhelming...just a thought (and a plea!)
ReplyDeleteSusie, I am SO SORRY that I missed these commenst! I am still organizing the baby products and thanks for the idea for a week long meal planner...although, if you get the latest copy of Clean Eating Magazine, you will see an AWESOME planner there!!! No need to reinvent the wheel! :)
