Sorry it took so long to get this this blog out to you but it has been a busy weekend. First we actually kind of cheated and quit a night early. Well OK Julie quit at lunch. She didn’t think I would find the damn Wendy’s bag in her car. WTF?? She broke and went straight to fast food. {Editor’s Note: Um, I was sick....nearly on my death bed and I needed some carbs. I was good. I had a grilled chicken...

I must admit that things have gotten much better since we have been able to eat meat. I am however missing bread, pasta, beans, regular rice, red meat, BBQ, french fries, wings, cheese sticks, fried chicken, chili, pizza dip, ranch dressing, did I mention wings, pepperoni, hamburger, olives, carbonated drinks, mashed potatoes, fried chicken biscuits, hot sauce, ribs, tacos, burritos, chips and salsa,...
Flying Fox is a small vineyard in Afton, VA that we visited on a recent trip to the Wintergreen Resort area. We discovered this place a year ago when we met a couple at another winery and they brought us to this one. Now it is a place that we stop every time we head up that way! We love their Viognier which is Virginia's answer to a Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a grape that grows well in Virginia.Check...

Well, we were finally able to get some meat into our bellies. I really thought I was going to crack and kill someone. It was probably the best damn chicken I have ever had. I made Julie's with a Trader Joe’s South African Smoke seasoning blend and damn it was good. I just blackened mine but that is how I love...
Early fall we went on a trip to Wintergreen, VA. It is one of our favorite places to go on the east coast. There are many wineries in the area and we visited a few. Wintergreen winery is located at the bottom of the mountain and surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery up there. Please join us for a view of the winery and we hope some day you will go up and enjoy the...

Monday is MEAT day. We are so excited. We actually have another section we can visit in the grocery store! I can’t wait until lunch. Just having something else to add to our selection is really what it is all about. I could maybe go a bit longer without any meat but I can’t stand having my hands tied as far as...

A hip place to stay in Charlotte for the forward thinking traveler, aLoft Epicenter offers reasonable pricing and everything you need for an uptown stay. Strategically located in uptown Charlotte, this was a great option for us after a day of tailgating and watching a Panthers game. Besides all of the activities in the epicenter, such as piano bars, restaurants and shopping, there are many restaurants...

Well, I am down 11 lbs so far on the standard process cleanse which is the good news. I didn’t sleep very well last night so I am extra tired. It is bad enough to not have much protein and carbs but add no sleep and man it is a tough day. Still a bit up and down. Plus I want a damn glass of wine or a fantastic...

We recently took a quick trip to Asheville, NC to hang out with our friends Amy and Rob Phillips. This trip has become a bit of a tradition with Rob and I. We had a great time that night, maybe a little too much and we were feeling it the next day. We took a nice walk down Lexington Ave where we found a great little restaurant simply called Boca. Not only do they have one of "Asheville's Best Chefs",...

AHHHHH!! I am feeling pretty damn good tonight. Not sure why. Maybe it was the tomato soup. Last year on day 5 we were dealing with a snow storm and I was on my last leg. That was the day I started cooking more for us. I just broke down because I couldn’t cook chili which is my favorite during snow (as if we get a lot of it). I jumped into the kitchen and put my adequate skills to work. I have a friend...

So I am down six pounds. Kind of shows just how fat my ass was to lose that much weight in just three days with no exercise. Today, I am the grumpy one. I go through phases and am a bit moody.{note from the editor: phases? They must be long phases then} I am kind of tired and the cravings come and go. I have...

WE’RE BACK!!!! 2011 started out wonderfully with our first Standard Process cleanse, however we were unable to keep up the good work and gained all the weight back we lost as well as continued to eat terribly. Sometimes things happen in your life that derails you from goals set. Well, 2012 is here and we are...

We spent the eve of day one at Trader Joe's because they have a great selection of fresh and organic fruits and vegetables. We got enough food to fill our fridge for a few days anyway. Then, we had to spend some time cutting up all that food
