Apparently Orbitz and Air Tran had a little communication breakdown and we ended up not having a flight.

The worst part of it was that they expected us to take care of it!

So now we’re stuck in Phoenix… and it’s hot!

Anyway, we’re making the best of it… in today’s show you’ll get a review of the Raw Spirit Festival and a funny story that happened to us over the weekend.

Go ahead and watch it now…

The Raw Spirit Festival is in less than two weeks, but we’re going to visit my grandfather for his 90th birthday in Pittsburgh, then flying out to Sedona from there.

Sooo…. we need to plan now!

We’re excited to be traveling so much, but we’re also very careful to make sure that we plan because sometimes (if you don’t) you’ll end up eating less optimally than you’d like…

Today’s show is a lot of fun (or at least we had fun making it!), go ahead and have a laugh or two…

Your question of the day: What other healthy treats and snacks can we bring to Pittsburgh?

Today we’re going to show you how to eliminate that tight, stiff feeling in your lower back and hips that make you feel about as flexible as a railroad tie. (Railroad ties are notoriously inflexible )

In this episode, Annmarie is doing the demonstration, since many of you liked that last week! Also I take on the challenge that a few of your offered and do some V-Ups. (Thought I couldn’t do ‘em huh?!)

Take a watch now…

And wait! don’t go yet…

Just wanted to tell you about 3 events that are coming up in the raw food world… (We’ll be at two of them)

(1) Living Light Expo in Ft. Bragg, CA from August 22nd – 24th – This event is hosted by Cherie Soria and Dan Ladermann at the Living Light Culinary School. I had a chance to talk to Dan this week and Annmarie and I are thrilled to be going to this unique and intimate event. Enrollment is only $195 (as of today) which is literally a steal of a price. (There will only be about 300-400 people there!) This event is extremely affordable and is regarded by many as the premier raw food event. Please take a look now and check it out… flights to Sacramento and San Fran look to be about $250-300 right now, so it’s not that expensive!

Click here for more info on the Living Light Expo…

(2) Raw and Living Spirit Festival in Molalla, Oregon from August 26-29th - This event has some awesome speakers as well and will be in beautiful Oregon! We won’t be here this year, but Doug Graham, Victoria Boutenko and more will!

Click here for more info of the Raw and Living Spirit Festival…

(3) Raw Spirit Festival in Sedona, Arizona from September 12-14th - This event is like the Woodstock of raw food. A bunch of fun and a bunch of activity. If you’re an ADD type like me, you’ll love this atmosphere in amazing Sedona. It’s our first time there, so we are really looking forward!

Click here for more info on the Raw Spirit Festival…

Maybe we’ll see you at one of these?

And if we do, please come up and introduce yourself… we’d love to meet you!

People want to tone up their abs and midsection. Simple as that.

As most of you know by now… you can’t spot reduce or just do crunches and transform your abs without changing your diet.

But, you can tone up your abs with this quick abs workout, so when you finally are able to see your abs (if you’re not already) you’ll be pleasantly surprised with what you see…

Maybe a 2 pack, maybe a 4 pack, or even better yet… the almighty 6 pack abs!

Take a look… (At the end I reveal some of my unbelievable dancing skills, so you don’t want to miss this one!)

Your question of the day: Are you going to Raw Spirit Fest?

Click here, scroll down to the bottom of the page and post your answer… yes, no or maybe!

If you haven’t purchased your tickets yet, please do so now… I’m pretty sure they’re raising the prices as it gets closer, I know they did last year! Click here to get your tickets or just find out what “Raw Spirit Fest” is!

If you want an exercise ball, you can get a high quality one through Perform Better by clicking here! This one is more high quality… probably the type you’d find at a gym… if you want something cheaper… just go to Sports Authority or something similar!

Have a great weekend!

I received a bunch of questions about how you can trust that the food you’re getting is organic.

Well, if you’re shopping in the grocery store, you have to watch out for these lax FDA regulations and loopholes that might leave you with a mouthful of pesticides and other nasty things!

This is some important information, so go ahead and see for yourself…

Your question of the day: What do you think about Canada’s Bill C-51?
