SO.... I've got some explaining to do! Last week, my laptop broke. All on it's own. It just up and kicked it. I didn't fall asleep listening to music and wake up with my laptop underneath me, the earbuds sandwiched between the keyboard and screen; the screen shattered to an inky blackness with neon spiderwebs or anything! So don't ask me what happened!!
At any rate.. I'm still alive and kickin'! Still rockin' the veeg-life and still bein' all around awesome. It's getting easier and easier to keep up with the new diet - as well as ignore meaty-cheesey snacks. It helps A LOT that people are starting to notice and comment that I look different! As you can see, I weighed in at 268 this morning - that's a whole 17+ pounds down from my initial weigh-in! : ) My goal is still 260 by the 14th, so wish me luck!!
So much has gone down since my last post, I don't even really know where to begin. The long and short of it, though, is that it's really become quite easy to be a vegan in the last couple of weeks. Yesterday was the first day of a new menu at The Coffee Grounds - it was kind of a pain to write/cook a menu blind, not being able to taste the food I was making for the first time. But I had plenty of guinea pigs running around to sample for me!
Sunday, Kell and I had the whole day off together. It was a gorgeous day, and we celebrated it by walking to the grocery store and grilling out! We had an amazing feast of pasta salad, potato salad, grilled asparagus & portobello mushrooms (with pesto!), and veggie burgers with avacado and sprouts. (We're hungry vegans - don't judge us!!) it was UH-MAY-ZING!!
So as I'm heading towards the end of this experiment, I'm trying to decide what to do next. I don't think that I want to stay vegan - at least not completely. I need to figure out the best way to go about eating, shopping, exercising, etc.
Aaaaaand now after uploading those pictures, i'm a hungry hungry hippo! (What.. hippos eat veggies.) So I'm gonna go make me some toast! Lata Hata's!!
Veeg-D, Out!
Yummy!!! Your meal does look deliscious :0) We are 100lbs apart in weight...what a sweet mommy-son thing ;0) You should get a copy of the book Fit For Life - Gran and I both have it and I think it might be more of what you're looking for on a permanent basis. If you like I'll get it for you for your birthday - just let me know! Tonight for supper I had 1/2 a pork chop and red, yellow, and orange peppers grilled on my George Forman grill, and a salad with spinach, mixed greens, parsley, cilantro, tomatoe, and cucmbers! It was quite divine if I do say so myself :0) Audios Veeg-D - your Mama loves you! Give my love to your Honey too! xox
