Alright, my suggested feat is extremely challenging but, if accomplished, will improve our lives in three general areas:

(1) Healthy eating

(2) Personal Finance

(3) General Preparedness

Sounds good, right? Here's the feat:

A Tribute

Today is the one year anniversary of the day I joined Social Workout. It's been a really, really good year, and I just want to say thanks, SW community, for playing a big part in that.

Number Game!

This isn't so much of a workout; it's more of an all day activity. Today I had to face the facts that I am behind in my numbers when it comes to push ups and squats. Not desperately behind, it's still very doable, but I have made it my goal today to take periodic push up/squat breaks. I will get those numbers up, even if I have to do it ten at a time!

Eat Wild #9 and clarifications.

Had an awesome feral meal yesterday. I made tabbouleh and had it over a salad with cannellini beans. (Both the quinoa in the tabbouleh and the beans were made from scratch, from the bulk bins, which I am normally way too lazy to do but for which this challenge has given me a new appreciation. The beans were definitely yummier than canned.)

Eat Wild #6 -- Beet Hummus

I made beet hummus tonight -- it's not exactly what it sounds like. The recipe is from SimplyRecipes.com, and there are no chickpeas involved. Just beets, lemon juice, tahini, and spices, the most vital of which is cumin. Super yummy dip.

Eat Wild #5

Had delicious black bean soup, made from scratch, with a huge pile of roasted veggies -- mushrooms, red peppers, tomatoes, and zucchini. Super yum. 

Eat Wild #3 & #4

I juiced some carrots this morning and had all this awesome pulp leftover, so I made carrot pulp burgers. 

I ate them for lunch and dinner! Bam, two eat wild meals today. For lunch I had two with an apple and a little trail mix of walnuts, almonds, and raisins. For dinner I had another two with some edamame and a sweet potato. Super yum.

Eat Wild Meal #1

I know, it took me awhile to getting around to these meals. I actually eat almost all unprocessed foods all the time, but every meal I was making, something was tripping me up. Mostly that I rely a lot on canned beans during the work week. But I made a giant batch of lentil stew from scratch today, so here's my first totally unprocessed meal!

Declaring my DIY

I've been thinking a lot about my DIY for Feralicious, and I think I've got it.
