Day 3

Another day, more kale!  Still chugging along well, although I did do a bit of oil with my dinner out with a friend at a Thai restaurant.  And of course, a couple coffees with sugar (my nemis).  Here is the menu:

Breakfast: oatmeal, fruit with a few almonds
Lunch: veggie chili, kale wrap with humus, oranges
Snack: crackers and salsa
Dinner: pad kee mo ( veggies only)

I also did about 40 minutes running on the treadmill.

Feeling good and on the road to health!

Day 2

Well, yesterday I did great...except sugar appears to be a strong craving, though I didn't realize it!  I ate just as I said I would, but added in a few cups of coffee with sugar and a leftover candy cane.  Sad!  And the saddest part is that I'm fine with black coffee.  Oh well, new day!

I did run yesterday...2 miles.  I didn't want to, but I'm always so happy after I do!  And I also found a fabulous cashew dressing for my kale salad last night.  Thank you, FatFree Vegan! 

Today I plan to eat similiar to yesterday and fine some time to workout.  Just not sure when that time will be!

Here is to Day 2!

Day 1

I can't believe I'm going vegan.  And not the kind with fake meat and fake cheese and fake sour cream.  I'm going plant-strong, no meat, no cheese, no dairy, no sugar vegan.  That may sound extreme, but I want to feel better and look better.  That will just make me...better!

My husband is on board...and might I add fairly happily on-board.  We will see how this goes. My goal is 365 days...we will see how it goes.  My eating today is like this:

Breakfast: Steel cut oats with a few alongs and some fruit.  Black coffee.
Lunch: Wrap with kale, hummus, and a bit of avocado.  Vegetable and bean chili.

Snack: Apple with almonds

Dinner: Swiss chard salad with cashew dressing and a black bean burger.

Snack: More fruit

 

So far, so good today.  My wanting a sugary mocha, but won't give in.

 

That's day 1!
