Good Day Everyone! I hope you’re doing really great. It’s a lovely day in Arizona, the sun is shining, the sky is bright blue, and I’m feeling wonderful. I’m thrilled to report that Kristen’s Raw was listed in the newest issue of VegNews Magazine (February 2008 issue, page 41). As I posted a couple days ago, this is my favorite magazine. I had no idea they were doing a feature on Raw for this issue, let alone that they were going to list Kristen’s Raw as…well something. Honestly, I’m still waiting for my copy to arrive, so I don’t know how Kristen’s Raw is referenced, but I heard through the grapevine that there is indeed a mention. YIPPEE! I’m honored!
Movie time: I recently saw the movie, Juno; a gripping, must-see! The dialogue is clever, witty, sweet, and funny.
Food Intake: I’m eating clean and light. I love that my food comes straight from the earth; it’s wholesome, pure and sexy.
Breakfast: lots of watermelon (my favorite!)
Snack: more watermelon
Lunch: 2 fuyu persimmons, 2 oranges
Snack: 1/2 avocado blended with 2 stalks celery and used as dip for carrot sticks
Dinner: huge green smoothie with water, 3 frozen bananas, 2 stalks celery and spinach
Dessert: 2 fuyu persimmons, 2 dates

I’ve been behind on my blogging, but I’m getting back on top of it now.
Even though it’s past Thanksgiving, it’s still before Christmas so this definitely applies. Check out what Bill Mahar has to say: George Bush – Pardon All The Turkeys. Thanks to VegNews magazine for pointing out this story. If you didn’t know, VegNews is my all time favorite magazine. It’s all about living the vegan lifestyle with an ever increasing portion detailing Raw. If you haven’t subscribed yet, you should. I love it!!!
Give yourself your own smile of approval.

I recently saw the movie, Into the Wild, and was inspired to think “outside the gym.” So, Friday we took our dog hiking (into the wild – well, kind of wild). It was gorgeous, relaxing, exhilarating and best of all…fun. It’s important to find physical activities you really enjoy because it’s the easiest way to get more exercise into your life. Other ways I get more physical activity…hula-hooping (I’m lousy, but it’s fun), dancing (lousy here, again, but I love it! I think I heard the words, “Girrrl, you ain’t got NO coordination!” – haha, oh well), and playing golf and tennis (all of these qualify as great physical activities). Oh yeah, and when I go to the store, I park way out in BFE so I get more walking into my life.
Saturday, I went to the gym and lifted weights (chest/tri – heavy weight and low reps). I want to build more muscle to burn more fat all day long. Sometimes weight lifting is fun and sometimes it’s just “okay,” so I rely on great music to keep me motivated. Same story for the gym cardio. I do have days when I’m not thrilled to be on the treadmill, but when I have a great magazine (my favorite is VegNews!) or a super book to read, then I truly look forward to my time with the treadmill or stairstepper. It’s about being smart and making it work for you.
Food for Friday and Saturday are the same (I don’t mind eating the same delicious food a few days in a row).
Breakfasts: 1 qrt Smoothie (water,bananas, cranberries, basil, red jalapeno pepper)
Snacks: Kombucha
Lunches: 1 qrt Smoothie (replaced cranberries from before with Raw chocolate)
Dinners: Large portion of Carrot Pasta with Indian Marinara
Desserts: Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake

I'm Kristen, and welcome to my blog. I'm a wife, mom, author, and I love to eat so food is usually the topic of my blog posts. I'm a former (almost decade long) vegan turned back omnivore who enjoys reading, rebounding, coffee, and dark chocolate.
