My Kids Are Eating Out of Boredom!

Two weeks ago, we went to the beach for a week, and my children would barely eat. We were busy swimming, boogie boarding, sight seeing, and golfing. Since we have been home, the weather has been pretty pitiful, so we have all been stuck inside. I hate the word bored, but they are bored! When they are bored, they tend to eat more. Kate is eating every 30 minutes, and claims she is starving! In addition, Cam has been sleeping in, so he wants to start the day with cereal or pancakes, even if… Continue

Going Beyond Organic

I am so excited to share with you some things that I've been learning lately. I have always tried to eat healthy. I grow a lot of my own vegetables and herbs every year and I try to buy as much organic food as possible. But I know that I could be doing so much better if I had healthier options to feed my family.

Recently I had the opportunity to meet Jordan Rubin in person. Jordan is the author of The Maker's Diet and founder of the supplement company-Garden of Life. He spoke… Continue

A Free Lunch

Today was the first day of a week long teacher conference that my school district has every summer. I was up bright and early, much to my dismay. The only positives about this conference thing is seeing old teacher friends from other schools and the free lunch. Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch??

We had two choices for this lunch. Chick-fil-a sandwiches with chips, cole slaw and a brownie, or some healthy junk...I couldn't even focus on what it was because the…

How creating a life gave me back my own!

I knew when I became pregnant with my son, that I would love him and do whatever it took to make sure that he would be safe and happy. What I didn’t expect, was how becoming his mother would also make me take care of myself for the first time in my life.

Growing up, I was a very confident, outgoing little girl. It wasn’t until I turned 17 that my life took a drastic turn. My brother Billy, who was just the coolest and most handsome big brother in the entire world, had become…

Fat Burners..Worth the risk? Here's what happened to me:

My fingers are tingling. My left arm is feeling numb and the pain in my chest is getting sharper. It’s 4am. I’m one of only 3 people at the gym right now, and I have no idea what to do. I’m starting to panic as I realize that my heart is now beating at a much quicker pace than it should be and the tingling sensation in my fingers is spreading up my arm and becoming more intense. What’s happening? I’m only about 30 minutes into the 2 hour workout I have planned and certainly don’t feel like I…

A Mother's Binge

I was recently asked by a young women I know to help her understand the difference between overeating and binge eating.

Both involve eating more food than we need to..but only a binge these 2 criteria: Eating massive amounts of food in a very short period of time along with a feeling of being completely out of control.

As someone who battled eating disorder issues as a teenager, I never thought they'd follow me into life as an adult, a wife and a…

Family Dining: The New Public Intolerance

Recently my husband and I decided it was time we had a lunch that didn’t involve sitting in front of our computers or at the kitchen table. We selected a casual pizzeria and planned to take little man (18 months old) with us. The wait staff provided us with coloring pages and a bucket of crayons so little man was in heaven….for a while. As soon as he finished his own meal (which happened to be before we even got our meals) he became bored, as toddlers will. However, he didn’t cry or fuss. He… Continue

Fit vs Fiction Body Image/Eating Disorder Awareness Campaign

Fit vs Fiction is changing the way kids treat and feel about themselves. Children as young as 7 years old are willing to put their lives at risk to look the way they THINK they should, My workshops break down the myths related to the beauty,fitness and diet industries and give kids a safe place to share their thoughts and feelings about the pressures they feel to fit in. Help me spread the fit vs fiction message by passing these posters along.

Less Sleep = More Pounds

As posted on my blog www.lilyboxing.blogspot.com

The less you sleep you get the more ghrelin (an appetite-amped chemical) your body makes and the lower your output of leptin (a hormone that helps let your body know when you are full). When you have these two body chemicals "malfunctioning" adding in your lack of sleep you have a recipe for overeating and bad food choices. You tend to go… Continue

Tandoori pork - recipe my toddler likes

I thought I would post this, because Loveliness loved it so much. She kept coming to the kitchen "window" for more "chicken". Even though she called it chicken, i did not correct her. At least she was eating. Normally she doesn't eat meat because it takes a lot of time for her to chew it. It ends up as Read More

Fat Vegetarian Finally Loses Weight

I've been a vegetarian for years now, and all of the food in my house has been extremely healthy during those years... whole grain bread, only cereals without added sugars (not even the artificial kind), organic fat-free plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, lots of fresh fruits and veggies, etc. etc..… Continue

Local Food is the new "green"

Infinite resources are available in this day and age. As a society, we are able to develop and conceive of things impossible to imagine even ten years ago, never mind 10,000 years ago. The technology at our fingertips is growing at an exponential rate. There are newer, faster ways to do everything. Doing everything newer and faster isn't always an improvement though.

Over centuries we have grown from instinctual hunter-gatherers working for every calorie we eat to…
