#WIAW- I Lack Depth & T-Shirt Winner Announced!
I am a shallow pool. A shallow empty pool. I am in dire need of a hose filled with variety, desire and satiation to fill me up. My food has been typically vegetarian. It’s black and white. (even though it … Continue reading

#WIAW- Bodybuilding Eats
To build something requires tactful skill in most cases. It requires patience, time, and energy. You must anticipate that there will be “bumps in the (proverbial) road” before you commit yourself whole heardtedly. I’m not talking about having the right … Continue reading

#WIAW- The Juicing Edition
Holy heck it has been buzz light years since I’ve participated in my favorite foodie day of the week. How are you my blog-lings? So I basically failed my healthy eating test for the end of 2012, but 2013 is … Continue reading

#WIAW- Proud VS. Not So Proud Food Moments
I figured it was time. Time to post a WIAW. For me, for you, for 2013. (Raise your glass…of freshly juiced veggies and fruits, that is 😉 !) The last few months of 2012 were pretty much what the Wild … Continue reading

#WIAW- Guess Who’s Back, Back Back, Back Again…
No, I’m sorry to disappoint you, Shady is not back again. Unless you count the other day when I walked into the gym through a separate entrance to avoid the chatty cathies…and they approached me as a team of flesh-eating … Continue reading

#WIAW- I Eat Rainbows
If I still ate Lucky Charms, I would still pick out every marshmallow and save for a rainy day of gluttony. Although they were magically delicious, they weren’t very nutritious. (I know the leprechaun would disagree but I think I’ve … Continue reading

#WIAW- The Baking Bug
Typically the only places I like bugs are behind glass or a colored photo. I’m a screamer when it comes to even the smallest kind of creepy crawly, so even when I’ve gone camping, it usually turns into “glam ping.” … Continue reading

#WIAW- Falling Into Apple Orchards and Pumpkin Flavor
If you have a strong distaste for apple or pumpkin, I’d advise you to turn back. This WIAW is heavily biased towards those two power houses. Onward, shall we? The past week and a half has been a roller coaster … Continue reading
