Sharing My Life One Bite at a Time
Murphy has a one-track mind. Yesterday afternoon, Mal brought home a new bag of dog food. Obviously, Murphy was excited. And, of course, he didn’t want to miss a thing as Mal poured it into the storage bin. He also made sure to eat all of the dropped pieces. No food goes to waste in [...]

Great news: I had a successful appointment with my “new” primary care doctor today. She’s actually my old primary care doc from when I lived in the city. When I moved to the South Shore a couple of years ago, I switched to one closer to home for the convenience, but, obviously, that didn’t work [...]

Hello, hello! This morning’s breakfast was my usual two-ingredient pancake, but with chia seeds in the mix. (I know, I’m crazy.) I added a scoop of sunflower butter to my pancake and drank a glass of Dandy Blend with almond milk. I also drank a mug of bone broth (aka “meat tea”) with breakfast. I [...]

So, this morning was a tad frustrating. After breakfast, I drove to an appointment with my GI doctor, but, unfortunately, I never actually saw him because of some health insurance mumbo-jumbo. Basically, I didn’t have a referral from my new primary care doctor to see my GI doc, so my visit wouldn’t have been covered [...]

Greetings from the Bolt Bus! I’m blogging on my way down to New York City right now. Hooray for in-bus WiFi! Breakfast I started my morning with my usual two-ingredient pancake, but this time I added an extra egg for some staying power. I topped my pancake with blueberries and a scoop of sunflower butter. [...]

Check out what I did last night—I registered for a CrossFit class!! Woohoo!!! I’m feeling a lot better and the past couple of days have been blood-free (I know, gross… sorry), so I’m going to return to my beloved sport this evening. Today’s WOD is only 8 minutes, so I figured it was a good [...]

Hi, friends! I’m home from Oregon. Mal and I got in yesterday morning, picked up Murphy from the dog sitter, and then spent the rest of the day unpacking, grocery shopping, and getting our lives back in order. It’s so good to be home. I missed my little pug-let. I wanted to give you guys [...]

Anytime Mal and I struggle in life, we always remind each other of something his Grandma used to say: accept and adjust. I’ve blogged about these words a few times in the past, but when it comes to health issues, they mean so much more. My own grandfather had a similar piece of advice when [...]

I spent a lot of time “researching” this weekend. I spent hours and hours on the internet—checking out colitis-related websites and ways to better manage my disease. I read about probiotics, folic acid, B12, and “leaky gut.” I read about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and the GAPS diet. I scoured Robb Wolf’s website and read [...]

Hi, guys! Just checking in to let you know how things are going with the colitis stuff. I can’t say I’m better, but, thankfully, I’m not worse either. I ended up canceling my plans for both Friday night and Saturday so I could relax, get better, and hopefully prevent a flare. Although, I have to [...]
