10 Things I’ve Learned in 10 Years of Marriage

Image
Hi, friends! As you guys know, Mal and I recently celebrated the big 1-0 of marriage , and, jeez, does time fly! It feels like just yesterday we were dancing our night away at our wedding . After experiencing all of the ups, like becoming parents to our tiny human and some of the downs, like facing a chronic illness (and more than a dozen skin cancer scares), we’ve learned our fair share of lessons in this little ol’ life we’ve built together. I want to share the top 10 things I’ve learned from spending the past 10 years with my favorite guy – and whether you are in a new relationship or have been married for 30 years, I hope they will resonate!   Just say it already! If something is bothering you, don’t play the passive-aggressive game, no matter how non-confrontational you want to be. Mal or I sometimes do something that the other person finds annoying, and this one thing alone could be easily fixed. However, when we don’t address it immediately, those little things just

Vegan Taco “Meat” at the Beach

A ride in the car to the beach? Murphy was ALL about it. Seriously, once those words left my mouth, he was frantically following my every move as I got us ready and packed up to go to the beach. What can I say, the dog loves a good adventure! 🙂 We headed to the beach in the late afternoon and stayed until the sun set. Once we got settled, we headed down to the ocean to cool off. Murphy was actually really into it… until he wasn’t. He splashed around in the water for probably 5 minutes before he retreated to the beach. Pugs aren’t generally fans of water, but if Murphy gets hot enough, he’ll definitely go in! Quinn found all sorts of treasures in a nearby tide pool. Latest Videos He was beyond pumped! Eventually, we settled in and had some dinner that we brought from home. On the menu: Vegan Taco “Meat ,” which was ready-to-eat lentils from Trader Joe’s (17.6 ounces) mixed with chopped walnuts (1 cup), taco seasoning, and half a jar of Cowboy Caviar (6 ounces). I th

Dear Mark: Choline Supplementing, Too Many Almonds, Keto and Insulin Resistance, and How to Drink

For today’s edition of Dear Mark , I’m responding to four reader comments. First up, if a person can’t eat eggs, doesn’t like liver, but really wants choline, can they just supplement? Second, are a couple handfuls of almonds too much omega-6 for the average person? What if they eat fish? Third, a new study claims to show that keto dieting tanks hepatic insulin sensitivity. What should we make of it? Are we giving ourselves type 2 diabetes by going keto? And fourth, I highlight a great approach to drinking alcohol (and living in general) from one of our readers. Let’s go: If I can’t eat eggs, and don’t like liver, can I supplement with choline? What would be a good dose? Yes, you can supplement with choline. Men need around 550 mg per day. Women, 425 mg. Those requirements go up if you’re pregnant or nursing, and they very likely go up if you’re drinking. It’s very possible that those are good levels for the average person eating a low-moderate fat diet. If you’re eating a hi

Hi friends! We are on our way home from a long short weekend in San Diego today. I’ll have a full recap post for you tomorrow, but in the meantime, enjoy this fun video Mazen and I made at the Mission Beach Yacht Club!
