Alright.  Let’s wrap this up.  I’m glad I read Dr. Weil’s book and gave his program a try, but I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I won’t be embracing every part of the program. Here’s what I’m taking away from it: 1) The walking regimen. I hope to keep it up through the [...]

I really fell off the wagon this week.  I had good intentions.  Really, I did.  I read chapter six last Sunday afternoon.  I was planning to use several of the recipes to incorporate greens into my diet this week.  But I never got back to it.  So this is how things stand. 1) Look over [...]

I was visiting with a friend today, and she said, "So what drew you to this Weil book?"  I had to stop and think to remember why I decided to give this program a try.  It was mainly my desire to eat and BE healthier.  I like Dr. Weil’s preventative approach to health and wellness, [...]

Well, I am finally doing SOMETHING about my health issues.  Something other than making the rounds of doctors and grumbling about how confused I am and how I don’t know what to do or where to start.  Which is what I’ve been doing for the past year  or so. For those of you who have [...]

I’m sitting here in the quiet of the early morning, perusing blogs, and drinking a white mug of hot tea.  Did you hear the record scratch and come to a painful stop?  Well, I did.  No, that’s not a typo.  I said tea.  Japanese Green Tea, to be exact. I detest tea. In fact, detest [...]
