In my last post I showed you the prep portion leading up to the start of my work week. I’m glad you all found it informative and inspiring. I promise it’s not as hard as it seems; and once you start doing it week in and week out, it becomes second nature. Yes, I do have some OCD tendencies, and it’s hard for me to imagine a world without checklists, but it’s also what allows me to eat the way I want to (healthy and quick) when things get crazy. While my Type-A personality can… Read more >

Many of you have expressed interest in a post dedicated to how I prep for the week. I have been reluctant to do this (read: lazy) because, quite frankly, it’s a ton of work…taking pictures throughout the process would only add on extra time…and that’s not even including the posting part. Today, however, I felt inspired. Here’s a brief look at my process of getting things organized. Goals: Chop raw vegetables Roast squash/potato/vegetables Make tofu/seitan Make quinoa Make Kyle something (lasagna or pasta in bulk) Miscellaneous dish (“tuna” salad, crock-pot stew, chewy oat bars, etc.)… Read more >

I will eat it. Now since I want you to get it just right; here’s how to build the most be-udi-ful breakfast bowl. Assemble your team. I like a balance of textures, so I went with an apple, a pear, The Greek Gods plain greek yogurt, and Udi’s gluten free Original granola. If the granola didn’t have dried fruit and nuts already in it, they would have been supplemented by moi. Fortunately, Udi’s granola is legit enough to already contain the goods.

As I mentioned yesterday, we left bright and early (6:30 to be exact) to head back to LA. And as painful as it was to get up at 5 to work out before hitting the road, it turned out to be WELL WORTH it. That’s the scene we avoided (source). The grapevine was snowing the entire time we were driving through, and just after we made it out, highway patrol blocked it off. Our friends were just a couple of hours behind us and had to be re-routed to the 101. And they were the… Read more >

Let’s be honest, we all want to be the best we can be. This isn’t about 2011 resolutions, though. This is about making the most of your life, now and always. This post shares some of my struggles with IBS. I don’t want to suggest that my path is the right path or the path that will work for you, I’m just sharing my own personal story. I’m kinda a hippie when it comes to Western medicine. I much prefer taking the prevention approach now – using diet, exercise, and supplementation responsibly to avoid the… Read more >
