Just a silly girl trying to live a healthier life. I love to cook, craft, garden, read, travel and spend time with my wonderful husband.

Hmm, looks like I should start watching Jurassic Park for survival tactics just in case. 7 1/2 months should be enough time to build the ultimate dinosaur death ray, right?

School makes Liz a little cray cray…

Why hello my pretties

I know what I’m having for breakfast!

So I started calorie counting again today. I signed up for Myfitnesspal and it seems really good so far. I’m still having trouble cutting back my carb intake though. My username is heyliz if you want to add me as a friend! 

First day back to school!

Evening hike down by the river. We are so lucky to have such beautiful scenery in the heart of our city. 

My amazing friend Tara just started a blog and I wanted to tell all my lovely followers that you should follow her too!

Tara is one of the strongest people I know. Despite all the craziness the universe has thrown at her, she still manages to stay positive. Like me, she wants to use her blog and the tumblr community to get inspired and motivated towards healthy living and we all know what a great place it is to do that!

So give her a follow and she’ll probably follow you back :D

I promised a taste test of these a few ago and it will happen.

I’m trying to drink my way through them but it’s tough going!

I’m drinking one for lunch right now and the whey vs. plant based protein competition is not looking good for plant based. The after taste is pretty gnarly so far.

I promise you the full low down with photos  once I get to the bottom of this.

Preliminary conclusion…

Whey FTW.

EDIT: TMI today’s variety is an absolutely NO GO - right after publishing this post I went back to drinking it and there was some definite gagging. No more for me.

I tried the Chocolate Vega one and it was disgusting. I had to choke it down and felt sick right after. Yuck.
