On this episode, as this year is about to come to a close, there's a feeling of some emptiness that's inside of me that sometimes makes me feel tired and bored. Do you have these feelings as well.
After over a year of social distancing during this pandemic phase many of us will be returning to work back into our offices or sites full time regular instead of teleworking or working from home quasi. I'm about to turn 50 in 3 months & I already feel like I'm 50 a next decade older. No one in the news media ever talks about how the body especially an aging body needs to re-adjust itself back to a normal work schedule and physical activities will change because of the work hours. I'll share my thoughts.
Mental thoughts on fighting against two things facing me obesity & ageism. One I have struggled for so long to fight against obesity which I am currently doing now but I cannot fight against ageism. Even though I don't look like I'm almost 50 in 6 months approximately, sometimes my body tells me I am aging. I'll share my thoughts.
A year has passed since the pandemic and folks like me has been social distancing. I've follow a strict eating plan of fruits, veggies, grains and has excercised everyday. Since recovering from my illness about a year and a half ago, I've lost weight but as of my recent doctor visit I have GAINED SOME OF IT BACK!! It made me upset, a little depressed also. The only thing changed is that I started eating those meatless plant-based patties like on my multi-grain egg mcmuffin sandwhiches because I no longer can't eat red meat or pork. Just seafood(wild caught) turkey and chicken(sometimes I eat it rarely mainly organic or free-range). I share my story and theory about the plant-based diet. It only works when you eat veggies I think.
On this episode, I am sharing my experience during this Pandemic, I did all the right things like excercise everyday, walk, dance, sprints, etc. I thought I avoided all the bad and processed foods until I started trying out those PLANT-BASED MEATLESS PATTIES brands like "Morning Star Farms" "Beyond Meat" "Lifelight" to name a few. When I went vegan last January I lost an additional 12lbs but I was not eating meatless patties I would make my own veggie burgers out of lentils and beans, oats and mushrooms. I was on the vegan two month plan Jan & Feb & I've gained weight I was walking in severe cold weather what has changed could it have been too much wine? I was drinking more wine last April-June did not gain a pound beware of the deceptive plant-based diet. Share my story.
Wednesday was #NationalPizzaDay & since more & more folks have been ordering pizzas or making them. I have made a couple of Vegan pizzas one on SB Sunday. Yes folks you can have your slices of pizza and still eat it healthy. Plus shoveling snow is great excercise if you think of it that way.
Talking about how you are holding up doing this Pandemic some people are struggling badly others are bored working from home. If you are worried about gaining weight during these winter months I have advice for what to eat & do. I love egg mcmuffins but because I cannot eat pork I decided to make my own plant-based versions of this delicious goodness.
During this election coverage folks are stressing out over the results I have some advice to give regardless of the outcome.

For today official #MemorialDay Monday I finally tried the Beyond Meat Beyond Burger & my thoughts on it plus home dance workouts that works and why now is the perfect time to do some hiking.
Normally folks flock to the beach, have BBQs or to restaurants this holiday weekend some go to the movies. I got up @6 AM this mornng doing my walk because I couldn't sleep came back in 45 minutes later ate breakfast working on cover songs all night part of the reason I could not sleep. Since I cannot eat pork, red meat and banning chicken because of the Corona Virus outbreak. Beaches are limited due to social distancing and most are available to residents of the state. However I may go hiking tomorrow morning I don't think I'll do it today unless it's around 7pm because I had no sleep. If you can't get to the beach or take a road trip, I have some activities that you may be interested in.
While being quarantined @ home basically or working from home sometimes I get cravings for certain snack foods, well recently it's been popcorn. Now popping non microwave popcorn but natural popcorn is the healthier alternative which I would be open to do. Talking about favorite snacks with a healthier twist.
I just had a salad with red cabbage as the main salad veggie instead of the usual suspects like spinach, kale, collard, or spring mix, I have had several salads with red cabbage not only it's a strong healthy fiber veggie it's rich in antioxidents, Vitamins K(per brain power) vitamin C and E great for anti-aging but never talked about eating cabbage especially raw.
It is highly important that we as Americans especially Afro-Amercans to not only excercise regulary like take a walk, dance inside your house, cardio, but maintain a sense of some sort of healthy eating balance as well. If you feel you have ot eat comfort food eat in in moderation or upload alternative healthier recipes like I do of your favorite junk foods like making ice cream in a blender with coconut milk and frozen bananas to name a few or brownies with flax seeds or chia seeds to replace eggs even store bought mix. Why you can't find yeast.
People don't care and letting themselves go junkfood like chips, doritos, ice cream, and popcorn has seen increases in sales so has wine and beer. It's ok to have a glass of wine on occasion ok maybe a glass a day, especially red wine keep it minumin. White wine such as Pinot Grigio I used in making my low-fat, low-carb pasta dishes such as my seafood pasta or seafood scampi, or vegan pasta dishes. I have tips on how to stay eating healthy eating and of course excercizing during this epidemic including soups and stews, crackers, deserts yes deserts.
