River Romp

Image
Sunday, Sunday. You were wonderful!! I had coffee, eggs and Mas toast for breakfast topped with butter and jam. I hit up the grocery store, did some household chores, and had grilled cheese and tomato for lunch with Thomas’s mom. She brought over the most beautiful flowers from her garden, and she made this arrangement with a crock from my porch and some hydrangeas I had just bought at the store. I am obsessed with this on my table! After lunch, Nona took us out for an ice cream cone! Sunday afternoon, Thomas and I took Mazen out to the river for a romp around and some fishing! We met a handful of friends there, and we had a total of five dogs, nine grown ups, and two kids. Tackle box in hand, Mazen was excited! T taught him the basics (and me too!). I even had a bite! The boys went swimming, and I waded in to my knees. I am not the biggest fan of murky water — eek! Gus, however, LOVED the river. He and the other dogs wore themselves out fetching balls and sticks!

Dear Mark: Keto Reset Eating Plan, Better Weight Scales, PB Fitness Carb Requirements, and the Best Fish Sauce

Image
For today’s edition of Dear Mark , I’m answering/addressing four questions/comments. First, will my new Keto Reset book provide detailed meal plans or vague recommendations? Second, is there a better weight scale than the scale? Mathieu thinks there is, and I agree. Third, if you’re doing the Primal Blueprint Fitness program, do the recommendations I made in the Crossfit and carbs posts apply? And fourth, what’s the best fish sauce ? Let’s go. First, Vee asks: I’ve read the article above [ Definitive Guide to Keto ], and quite a bit of the comments below, but what I would like to know is just how detailed is this book going to be? I’m one of those people who need a plan laid out with measurements, not with eat this per so much per lean body mass, etc. I need amounts like tsp, tbsp, cups, oz, etc. Also, I pre-ordered Dr. Mercola’s book, Fat for Fuel, and was completely disappointed when I got it. i thought there would be a definitive plan to follow, but I shut the book, never t

Buyer Beware: The Dangers of Confusing Food with Supplements

Image
Are you looking for the magic pill for weight loss, increased energy or anything else that ails you? You aren’t alone. While the draw of dietary supplements is strong and the claims compelling – don’t be fooled – these products are not the same as food. For example, a recent study identified green tea extract as a potentially dangerous ingredient. While sipping on green tea can benefit health, the supplemental form commonly found in weight loss and bodybuilding supplements has been linked to many cases of liver damage. Here are 4 other supplements that are much more dangerous than their food-based counterparts.   Why Supplements Can Be So Dangerous Unlike foods and medications, the dietary supplement industry has very little FDA oversight. For this reason, many products sold on store shelves and online are manufactured without proper safety testing. These dangers may be the culprit for a dramatic uptick in liver disease over the last decade. Health conscious consumers are rightful

Fresh Summer Weekend Meals

Image
Hello, my friends! We had such a nice weekend. It started with some gray skies and rain and ended up being totally gorgeous early-fall weather. The break from the heat and humidity of July was nice! On Friday night we had a nice dinner at home with capresé salad from our garden (home-grown tomatoes and basil) and mini burgers on the grill. I went past Great Harvest and picked up Spinach Feta rolls to use as buns. And we used Mini Babybel for the perfect little cheese topper to our sliders! Thomas and I watched the movie Split that night. I liked it a lot up until the ending! Saturday morning, Mazen was up early, which was a good thing because I needed to be up for 8am ath con. I had coffee and toast and went to the gym for Bradley’s class. I really do love going to ath con on Saturday mornings! Back home, I had a Juice Laundry Strawberry Chia Pudding for second breakfast. Saturday morning vibes: Mazen spent the afternoon with Matt, and T and I went out running errands. F
