Well, initial results are in for Tiffany and they are wonderful!! Last week Tiff saw her Endocrinologist (diabetes doctor).  To say that this doctor was shocked and surprised by what she found is an understatement.  As you will recall, Tiff’s Hemoglobin A1C was 14 when she was in the hospital in March.  A normal reading… Read more

It’s a sad and happy day all at once. Tiffany is now home with her family and I am missing her already.  This evening Hannah, Greg and I went for our usual evening walk and then played a game of Azul.  I love having Greg here with me, but it just wasn’t the same without… Read more

It’s hard to believe, but we have completed the 6 weeks. For 42 days we have drank freshly extracted vegetable juice, got at least 20 minutes of fresh air and sunshine every day, gone from walking less than half a block to walking about 1.5 miles daily and eating a vegan diet. We have trimmed… Read more

When we began this program we made the decision to be diligent about certain daily disciplines.  This is a good thing.  However, it’s also important to pay close attention to your body and signals that it sends.  I overlooked some messages that my body was sending me and am now having to amend some of… Read more

It does cost a lot to be healthy.  Healthy food is not cheap.  We have done some price comparing and find that by eliminating meat, dairy and processed food from our meal plan, eating healthy is affordable.  I don’t have exact figures, but it appears that we have spent well over $2,000 in just food… Read more

Yes, that is spelled correctly.  Today, we took a ride in a Waymo.  A Waymo is a driverless car. Hannah prefers to use this over Uber or Lifts.  As you can see in the pictures below, we did it.  I was a bit nervous, but Hannah felt that it was important that we have this… Read more

A day in the life: Last Tuesday (5/21) I took a day off work to spend more time with Mom and Tiff before they leave. It was very nice to have a weekday off where we walked the park in the morning, grocery shopped at our leisure, cooked food, and played games throughout the rest… Read more

Today is the first day of our 6th week – we are in the home stretch.  So much has changed with both Tiff and I in the last five weeks it’s hard to recall all the changes.  Earlier today I was looking at Tiff’s legs and remembering how swollen they were when she was at… Read more

“There’s nothing more we can do for you…” Nobody wants to hear those words – especially from the cardiology team at one of the best heart hospitals in Virginia. I was sent home the end of March with those very words. The “plan” with the cardiology team is to “attempt” to get my health at… Read more
