Wow! That is a powerful motivation. Let's do this, Jeremy. I'm already on my way.

Re: Using the Wii to Rebuild Cardio Endurance

I love dancing, so this would be great for me. I don't have a wii, so I will just have to turn up the music and dance by myself.

I'm glad you had an awesome year!

Happy first Christmas, Moon Pie!

Funny how our body sometimes rejects something that we used to love.

Oh wow! Thank you so much for including me with such phenomenal women. I love the beads!

Re: Fear, Exposed – Featuring Heather Mamatey

hanlie — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 14:59:20 -0000

Heather, I am definitely supposed to learn from you, since this is the second time I've come across you in the blogging world in less than a week. I also read your interview about how your diet evolved and I wanted to comment there that your youth was so similar to mine - drinking and smoking. I also follow a LFRV diet these days and am thriving.

Interestingly enough, I am also looking to become an entrepeneur... but there is a lot of fear and hesitation. Thank you for setting a great example!

That looks really wonderful! And it's so easy!

Re: When Is A Fruit Not A Fruit? When It's A Fig!

hanlie — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 09:48:02 -0000

Well, they actually do very well here, since the area I live in has a Mediterranean climate, but they're not grown commercially in South Africa. You can sometimes find them in the supermarket, but then they're really expensive and of course, they don't last long. The best way to get figs here is to have a tree or know someone with a tree. I would love a fig tree, but our garden is not that big and it needs some space.

Re: When Is A Fruit Not A Fruit? When It's A Fig!

hanlie — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 04:04:58 -0000

It's absolutely one of my favorite foods! And something I don't get to eat very often as I don't know anyone with a fig tree. One day...

I loved this post! It looks like lots of fun and I applaud every effort to take healthy food to the "people"! Long live the green smoothie!

She is so beautiful, Kristen! She looks very calm and tranquil.

Re: No way should football be ashamed over the Suárez incident.

hanlie — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 07:29:48 -0000

Absolutely! As much as I would have liked Ghana to have gone through, they only have themselves to blame. They were given two subsequent chances - the penalty kick itself and the penalty shoot-out. Suarez did what he had to do in the situation. He's not a villain for doing what he did, but he is an idiot for boasting about it. So, dislike him if you must, but don't blame Ghana's elimination from the tournament on him.

What a great idea!

Re: Juicing The Garden

hanlie — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 04:48:01 -0000

I like the idea of gardening, but I don't like gardening itself. Go figure. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I can't kneel or bend properly because of my size. Anyway, whatever is left in the garden at this stage is being systematically demolished by a very determined puppy...

Re: Wheatgrass: The King Of Alkaline Foods

hanlie — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 01:45:51 -0000

I really didn't know that wheat grass juice had an anti-inflammatory effect. Interesting!

I would love to win this, as I may be starting work again soon and the sachets are so convenient!

Re: Winners of the Raw Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe Announced

hanlie — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 01:40:00 -0000

I'm more of a slapstick cook... or uncook if you will. My food never looks that presentable and I'm okay with that. Furthermore, where I live, I would probably struggle to get all the ingredients, so we tend to keep our meals really simple and easy to prepare. I would eat that in a heartbeat though!

Re: Wheatgrass: The King Of Alkaline Foods

hanlie — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 13:33:39 -0000

Is this competition USA only?

I must say, I also struggle with wheat grass juice, but have been drinking powdered organic barley grass juice for a few years. I just can't live without it!

I was just saying that I'm craving juice today and then I see this! Off to make a super-duper juice!

Re: Vegan Couscous and Delicious Hummus Recipes

hanlie — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 13:29:55 -0000

Funny! I also posted a couscous recipe today... It's really one of my favorite "convenience" foods! And I absolutely love hummus.

Congrats to both of you! That looks so delicious, but it's not something I would make...

Re: Ooooooh Baby, It's Blueberry Season

hanlie — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 02:31:50 -0000

Oooh, I'm so jealous! Blueberries are a luxury item here in South Africa. There are very few commercial growers and most of what they grow end up in muffins and other processed items. A tiny percentage of blueberries end up in high end supermarkets where you pay the earth for them... Having said that, I buy them from time to time. I just wish I could buy them often and in large quantities.

I am simply going to have to plant some blueberry bushes.

Re: Delicious Vacationing

hanlie — Sun, 16 May 2010 02:44:39 -0000

Glad you're enjoying your vacation! Arizona is high on my list of places to visit... It's a pity that the food has sometimes been disappointing.

We're both of us well on our way then?

Re: Treating Colds and Flus Naturally

hanlie — Sat, 01 May 2010 15:38:24 -0000

My first line of defense is always to keep the immune system up by eating lots of raw fruit and vegetables. I have noticed that when I eat sugar, my immune system gets compromised, so that is another reason to avoid it at all costs. When I do feel something coming on (like I did yesterday), I drink a concoction of boiled water, honey, ginger, cinnamon, sage, turmeric and lemon. It really works! I am totally fine today.

I am going to look out for these oils though...
