Welcome Vegetable people

So a new honest friend visited my site – after hearing me repeatedly yelling – “Vegetablepeople.com a place for people that love vegetables” – my friend says I have visited the site – but I do not get it ….

Well the purpose of vegetable people is to promote a healthy lifestyle though continued healthy choices, motivated exercise program and maintain a positive attitude while encouraging and applauding others that are working towards becoming 100% of their best selves.   

it is a greeting–the origins of Vegetable people were initially my greeting to fellow CSA members, it was a friendly way to say hello while reinforcing why we are there to support local farms while consuming organic vegetables.  I even started doing it at the grocery store, I see it as a friendly way to engage a strange who is also buying vegetables.  Remember your next meal is your next opportunity to make healthy choices.

it is a celebration – of my continued success with weight loss, I share my story in the hopes that it will inspire you to make healthier choices; this includes paying tribute to the tools and people who have contributed to my success, this includes and not limited to my Nutritionist Laura Feinblum, my Physician Dr. Richard Gottfried, Stoneledge Farm, and people with words of encouragement in my own community.  I especially want to thank the members of my private Facebook Group Workingtowards100. Since surfing and vegetables have become such a large part of my life, I have created two additional sections to celebrate both.

it is now becoming a lifestyle – it is an attitude it is a lifestyle approach, Healthy Eating, community engagement and motivated exercise with intent.   I have expanded the web site by providing some healthy suggestions on vegetable wraps, explaining how our interpretation of the balanced plate has changed from the outdated food pyramid, new section on using passion for sports to keep you motivated and working to your goals, lastly it is about vegetables – in which a new section has been created to celebrate them as individual Vegetable people.  I suggest that you get involved with the CSA is another way to get involved with a community service organization – it gives you a chance to work together for a common cause with many people who have differences of opinion.

But wait, there is nothing to purchase – are you selling anything

Well yes and no – I am trying to sell you on the idea that it is never too late to take control of your life and start making healthy choices.  I am trying to provide you with suggestions and tools; along with confirmation of my successes which will hopefully motivate you to do the same.  My drive was diabetes, you do not have to wait to get diabetes before getting started.  My nutritionist took the initial role in the process by teaching me how to eat correctly, through education, by first understanding what make up our food – protean, fat, carbohydrates.

I am planning on T-shirts or the corner roll up re-useable grocery bags (veggies only stamp) but they might just end up as give always.

I am available as a non-licensed health coach, I am also available to speak with you or your group about what continues to work for me and how to stay positive. 

Lastly, we are working on a new section of the web site focused on – using the courage you have gained though your weight loss to better tackle the underlying issue that drove you to this point.  Unfortunately, often the weight gain is a result of another issue – that issued get buried as now your weight and health concerns take center stage – but they are only they symptoms.   For continued success on becoming 100% of your best self is to get to the cause and eliminate these issues.
