A typical summer day in my life…. David Cohen, Head GT Dude
Awaken @ 4:30 and drink my morning beverage; juice of ½ lemon, a few drops of stevia, & water. Get kitchen ready for first round of feedings – boil water for chia porridge, prepare coffee & tea, get dog foods out of fridge. Have some quiet time w/tea and sunrise.
By 7:00 everyone has had their #1 breakfast – time to exercise the dogs, no hiking trails here so I will be riding my bike alongside my racing chihuahua’s and then take out the rottweiller for her turn. After that it is my turn for exercise – these days its kettlebells & bodyweight workouts right here at home.
#2 breakfast @ about 8:30 – sweet potatoes & eggs (my favorite!) I’ll catch up on the emails while eating & review the plan for the day.
Today is rainy which means the RV roof repair will have to wait – and I will have to work on the computer. Right now I am working on a business plan for the emerging retail division of Genesis, and preparing a vision of what the next 5 years may have to offer.
Around 10:00 is time for breakfast #3 (or lunch #1) which is usually a smoothie (check out my recipe for No-Protein-Powder Smoothie in the EAT THIS section!)
Today is a shopping day and here in Montana that may mean going to 4 stores to find all the best foods. 1 store for dog food & yams, 1 store for chicken & watermelon, 1 store for most other produce, and another store just for eggs..and another store for the gasoline!
Midday lunch: Spaghetti squash w/meat sauce (emu & turkey & tomato sauce.)
Early afternoon entails a trip to the post office to send out some protein powder & then back to the computer.
As the day winds down so does my mental prowess so I’ll shift from the heavy work (business plans & serious emails) to the lighter side – maybe research a topic online or experiment with a recipe – perhaps I’ll try a new marinade today:
Lime juice, coriander, oil, garlic, honey, ginger, salt & pepper
Dinner will be served @ 6:00 (Grilled chicken & salad.)
An early evening dog walk followed by a cup of tea is the perfect way to end the day.

Thanks Angela!
My respect for those ‘in the valley’ grows every time I visit, partly due to the challenges, but lately I’ve been seeing more of the awesome side – having SO MANY food aware people in such a region is making a huge impact. Keep doing what you do; it seems to be working!
