Inspired by Alicia Silverstone's "The Kind Diet" and Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food," we want to experience the vegan lifestyle to improve our health, boycott animal suffering, and reduce our carbon footprint.

Swing it, shake it, move it, make it

My favorite workout?  Dancing.  No doubt.
Last night I tried my first Zumba class, and I'm a fan.  Often times it's more of a Latin theme, but my class was mostly hip/hop and modern dance. I was sweating to Beyonce, Pink, Chris B, and Jay-Z, and I couldn't stop smiling. :-)  Last week Angela and I had a lil dance party to some old school NSYNC and Spice Girls.  Talk about a mood booster!  However, after this morning's yoga class, I felt calm, strong and ready to start my day!  Either way works: shake it or stretch it!
I'm feeling really great within the comfortable confines of veganism.  When I don't even entertain the idea of eating sweets or non-vegan foods, I don't feel the cravings or the anxiety about how/what to eat.

Today I spoke with a Certified Nutritionist about the importance of iodine in women's diets.  It can reduce breast cancer and regulate your thyroid and metabolism.  In addition to iodized salt, you can get iodine from sea veggies and foods.
How to increase iodine in your diet.
