5 questions, 5 answers!

My beautiful, talented, marathon-running, inspiring friend, Erin (you should hear me when I'm sucking up! ;)), tagged me in her latest blog entry! Since she inspires me to blog more often, run more, and eat better (I sill can't thank you enough for my signed book, love!), PLUS I love answering questions, I'm going to roll with it! :)

Question 1: Where were you five years ago?

1. In the Marine Corps.
2. Dating my wonderful husband, learning what it meant to really be in love.
3. Working at Greenfield's Restaurant, my all-time favorite!
4. Babysitting my amazing niece & nephew. Miss you, Jacob. <3
5. Almost married. :)

Question 2: What is (was) on your to-do list today?

1. NOT RUNNING! I'm a little injured after yesterday's bosque run, so I'm taking it easy. Plus my feet have put up with almost 45 miles this week.
2. Grocery store...one of my favorite things!
3. Attend a basketball game for my friend's beautiful daughter.
4. Clean house and make dinner.
5. Have wonderful friends over for some Chickpea Cutlets and other tasty treats.

Question 3: What five snacks do you enjoy?

1. Anything chocolate.
2. Chips, pita, or veggies with hummus.
3. Chips & salsa, but only at La Salita!
4. Cuties. Oh, how I love Cuties!
5. Veggie Stix!

Question 4: What five places have you lived?

1. I grew up in New Hampshire...
2. Roamed around Canada for a bit with my bestie...
3. Spent time in the Marine Corps down south (SC, NC, VA)
4. Then off to Okinawa, JP to be with the husband...
5. And now I live in New Mexico!

Question 5: What five things would you do if you were a billionaire?

1. Immediately buy a home...one in NH, for sure.
2. Invest!!!
3. Help my mom and my family with whatever they need.
4. Shop till I can't even walk anymore!
5. Help anyone I know and love who might need it. (That I copied from Erin, who copied it from Miss Melissa. I'd do the exactly the same!)

I love questions. I also love giveaways, so keep your eyes peeled for my next post. ;)

Now for the fun part: getting to tag 5 of my friends! Here goes:

The newly Mrs. Kanmuri @ Turning Iwatean
Dawn & Out of Africa

Vegan Facts

-Protein is good for you. Duh. Animal products (meat, eggs, etc.) have complete proteins, but so does a soybean. Which one do you think is better for you?

-It's actually better to get your calcium from plant sources such as figs, rice, nuts, dark greens, and soy foods. Osteoporosis occurs more when the calcium intake is via dairy products.

-Speaking of dairy products, a lot of people think milk is super important because of the need for Vitamin D. Did you know that milk is fortified with Vitamin D, meaning it doesn't naturally come with it?

-Studies show that a plant-based diet can increase your life expectancy by 7 to 15 years.

-Livestock feed is sprayed with pesticides and toxic chemicals. It's also packed with over 60 million pounds of antibiotics. AND, sometimes, the bovine growth hormone, which studies have shown cause early sexual maturation in children. (The average age girls are hitting puberty today is 8 years old.)

-A vegetarian diet can prevent 97% of coronary obstructions. That's impressive!

-Equally as impressive: Cornell University has been conducting a long-term study of health and diet. They found that 80 to 90% of all cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other forms of degenerative illness can be prevented by adopting a plant-based diet.

-Dr. Huckstable said "there's always room for 'this'"...which is made by boiling bones, skin, and other parts of cows. Uh, gross.

-Avocado is rich in potassium, folic acid, vitamin B6, and high in fat.....however, the amazing avocado contains enzymes that help break down fat in the body.
