I’ve been dying to tell you about this – it’s been so dang busy around here that I haven’t had time to take a minute but enough is enough! A publisher approached me regarding doing a book and, long short, they want the manuscript for Fit Quickies: 5 Minute Body-Shaping Workouts from The Plant-Based Fitness …

I hope the Easter bunny was good to you this year, as she sure was to us. We had the fine good fortune of having Larry Wheat’s famous ‘Larry’s pancakes’ and the pictures pretty much tell the story. Not only that, but this was on the heels of our first, long-anticipated dinner at the Wheat’s …
Back on the grid after floating around in the bubbles in the Rock Islands of Micronesia. Extraordinary adventure, and even lucky enough to have a plant-based Manchurian cook on board. All’s well! Now, to tear myself away from the video and get back to tasks at hand… P.S. If you are outside the U.S. and …

Look. If I can do it in a 3rd world country, you can do it anywhere. Europe and the U.S. are easy. Not to belittle your efforts. But when you travel to far-flung off-the-beaten-path places and still make your plant-based diet work AND squeeze in your body-shapers (thank goddess for Fit Quickies) priorities, well, that’s …

Here’s what I just completed out on the balcony with no special tools but my body and the veranda rail to assist: Warm-up …

Rockie, in the event you are late to the story, is the infant squirrel we found crawling around helplessly on the forest floor right outside our front door last summer, It was perfect timing, because with a little love, a lot of formula, and important shelter, she grew and thrived into adolescence. Then, just as …

It’s been a few months now since Rockie first ventured into our life. And my favorite videographer Greg has made a charming, moving, and sometimes hilarious film of our first months with Rockie. Please feel free to link forward, and share this with family and friends… Merry Christmas!

It’s no surprise to you, is it, that turkey is not an annual event on my plate at Thanksgiving, is it. What else would you expect from the plant-strong fitness grrrl? There IS an annual event involving big birds at our house, though – and that is the Thanksgiving Festival for the Turkeys at Farm …

True story. Talk about flashbacks! I even told you about it at the time here: “When once-snug shorts slip off without being unbuttoned; aka time for a new tropical wardrobe”. Those very shorts – as perfect as they are for travel and as well as they have served me finally had to hit the retired …
OK, so I’m filing this one under pure travel and entertainment ;-). Here’s the video transcript: My 10 minute date with George Clooney on Lake Como; Well, almost. Don’t you hate it when people make a big kerfuffle about celebrities? Me, too! So, why do I find myself outside George Clooney’s house here on Lake …

Do you find yourself using ‘travel’ as an excuse to check out of eating healthy food? Does getting out of town mean usually getting out of sync with your health and body-shaping dreams? If so, then I’ve got news for you. It is perfectly possible to create simple and yummy eats in all kinds of …

Mexico in late winter, just before Spring hits and heats things up. Spectacular edifices and jungle vistas – we’ve never seen so much wildlife near Maya ruins as here in Calakmul. No doubt because of the remoteness of this location. You drive and drive and drive some more. And it’s still being excavated, being one …
True to form, we built in fitness on our trip to Mexico by walking, hiking, and climbing around on anything in our path My favorite videographer Greg put together this stunning and moving video from footage at the May ruins in Yucatan, Mexico. Think Merida and points south. Recommended destination!
