Sprouting!

I needed a little mid-afternoon snack, so I had some sprouts (from our veggie box at Newleaf Grocery) mixed with a little vinegar and mustard. Simple, low-cal, and filling.

Way better than a snickers bar, right?

My former roomate once told me that sprouts are REALLY good for you, because they're living energy. She was also a dirty hippie, but I kind of think she may be on to something. 20 minutes after eating, I'm finding myself with a huge surge of energy- more than I'd have with just eating a candy bar.

I totally lied....

This post isn't a review of any brunch places. It's more of an update.

See, I've been very, very busy lately. And not much opportunity to sit down and think about this blog. In all honesty, I've been avoiding getting back to posting. It gives me anxiety. What is the voice of this blog? Is it all reviews? What if I fuck up?

And then I realized, IT DOESN'T MATTER.

I need to just keep writing. The voice will find itself.

SO- here's what I've been up to.

• Due to an upcoming trip to Jamaica (JAMAICA! HOLLA!), I've been more motivated to exercise and eat healthy. I even joined Weight Watchers and I'm losing weight. I'm down about 10 pounds so far and feeling better every day!
• I've started Bikram Yoga in the past three weeks and I've already noticed changes to my body. I know a lot of people complain about the heat, but I find it very cleansing. Not only does my heart rate go up, but I notice other benefits as well. My anxiety is WAY down, and I find myself craving "cleaner" food.
  
• I'm more and more motivated to be particular about living a gluten-free diet.

The last one I find the most important. I've been struggling with leading a GF diet. About once a month I've "fallen off the wagon" and had a scone, cupcake, etc. And then I feel TERRIBLE. A couple of weeks ago when I ate something at a restaurant that I had a reaction to (didn't realize there was gluten), I became even more insistent about knowing what was in my food.

There you have it. I will start to write more, and thank you to those who have been kicking my arse to keep posting.

Mr. T demands that I post more often!
