Nope, the Slave Driver Didn’t Kill Me.

It’s been a while. Weddings, engagements, baby announcements and putting together a new children’s book. I’ve been busy. But mostly I’m sharing my life with Kerrie as I live it, so I didn’t really need to blog about it to her. Alas, I’ve been depriving the rest of my fans…so here’s a catchup.
I’m down to 189 pounds. I feel great! And I’m Vegan. I knew she was going to try to con me into that. What I didn’t expect was that I’d actually love it. We tried the whole juice cleanse for a while. It was supposed to be a 10 day juice fast. Slave driver lasted 1 day, I lasted 3. The juice was yummy and really very filling. It’s not like the Motts you buy at the grocery store. We use her NutriBullet and or my juicer and juice lots of yummy stuff. I really thought I’d be able to go the whole 10 days but after a while I just wanted to chew something. We still have juice for 1 or 2 meals a day, but for lunch or dinner it’s food. Delicious food like the picture above. Who ever said there’s no such thing as a good Vegan meal obviously hasn’t had this. Super yummy! After all this juicing and veganing and exercising the really great news is, SD and I went on a 2 hour hike in the hills today! Up and down and all around and it was beautiful! We had such a good time and my knee didn’t hurt at all. I could breathe without feeling like I was going to keel over. I enjoyed the beautiful surroundings that is our home. It was wonderful! There’s no way I could have done that 2 months ago. It felt incredible to feel so good hiking again! So I’ll try and keep you updated more regularly. Have a very fruitful day all!
