Ben’s Tips for Better Living

My personal hobbies are eating, drinking and Beaver football. Here’s my most recent recommendations:

  • Eating and Drinking:
    • I actually just finished a 14-day detox diet including a 3 day juice cleanse. I haven’t been doing much eating out or drinking, but I do feel great. Biggest lesson learned – I like veggies more than I think I do and I was relying way too much on meat, dairy & carbs. When you see that you can stay full on veggies, fruit & nuts – you learn that maybe you don’t need to eat as much of the other stuff as you think you do. Hopefully I can form a few better habits as a result. If you’ve been thinking about a detox – The Feel Good World makes it as easy as it can get.
    • BEFORE I did the detox – I FINALLY made it to Woodsman Tavern. Had the lamb shank and a pickle back (Google it). Wasn’t blown away but it was good. I’m gonna hit it for brunch sometime soon. The best part was the people watching. Very Portland. Lots of beards.
  • Beaver Football: 3-0 & ranked #14 in September! So psyched! That’s all I have to say about that. Keep the comments to yourself Duck fan.

That wraps up this edition.
