Start
When I started my weight loss and get fit journey. I guess this comes as no surprise, but my diet and exercise regimen were totally different than they are today. Back then, my idea of healthy eats were frozen Lean Cuisine meals, Broccoli & Beef from the Panda Express menu, and if and when I […]
Repost: No!
I’ve been thinking, and I’ve come to the conclusion, I don’t mind being told no. When someone tells me no it just adds fuel to my already ignited fire. Telling me no just means I dig deeper. I’d prefer to be told no ten times rather than told yes just once. I know, preposterous. Just think though […]
Outside of the Box: Clark College (CTC) Spring ’13
Today, I delivered back-to-back guest lectures for Health 100: Food and Your Health on the East side at Clark’s Columbia Tech Center facility. The new digs are totally techie and cool. Two days, five lectures, and 150 Clark College students are officially OUTSIDE of the Box! Chrisetta MosleyI am a product – and now a […]
Outside of the Box: Clark College Spring ’13
Today, I spent the better of my day guest lecturing at Clark College. Three classes with about 90 students! This is the third quarter my cookbook, “Shop, Cook, Eat: Outside of the Box” has been used as part of the curriculum for Health 100: Food and Your Health — surreal. My lectures focus on the […]
It’s hard
I promise you. You don’t want any part of this. Being fat and out of shape that is. If you haven’t already — then don’t. Don’t come any where near this. Being fat is hard, really hard. Being fat and trying to lose the weight even harder. Being fat, out of shape, trying to lose […]
What’s for dinner?
I’ve been having a taste for…Spaghetti with meat sauce. So, I gave in. It’s okay every once in a while to indulge. The main thing is to not overindulge and of course to make it at home in your very own kitchen using whole ingredients. I’ve never been one to make substitutes like broccoli instead […]
Habits
Despite not wanting to. I did. Sleepy. Low energy. Unenthused. I went. See, the thing is I’m just now getting back into a workout routine. So, I don’t want to miss a workout — especially because of a lame excuse like I’m sleepy. I’m trying to form a habit. Forming a habit takes consistency. You […]
Spring Lunch Outdoors
It’s always a good time catching up over lunch with a friend. Since the weather has been warm and sunny here in the Pacific NW I decided to break out my outdoor dinnerware and take the delicious fun outdoors. On the menu, Asian inspired cuisine: – Hand-chopped slaw (cabbage, red cabbage, carrots) – Grilled […]
Nature’s Got You Covered
As I sat on my deck this morning sipping on a freshly blended smoothie chocked full of goods, this thought came to mind…Nature’s got you covered. Think about it: All the food that is good for us is of the earth. Fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, roots, herbs, on and on. There are no fruits or vegetables that […]
Doggone Good: Home-cooked dog food
Our beloved Hugo became a part of our family six years ago. At the time, I had a co-worker who owned several working dogs, Retrievers, I believe. I mention this because the idea of making dog food from scratch at home using healthy, fresh food was introduced to me long ago by her. She would […]
