This is where I will document the annoyingly slow ups and downs of this journey called "weightloss"

"Skinny Bitch"

"THIS IS YOUR LIFE! Live it to the fullest with reckless abandon. Seize the day. And do it again tomorrow. Live. Go get your dream job. Search for your dream man. Fear nothing. Try everything. Be excited. Dance. You'll never get yesterday back, but today is yours for the taking. Make it great." -Skinny Bitch, pg 187

Tonight I finished reading Skinny Bitch. It was very thought provoking. It might have even changed my life. I have a whole new way of looking at meat consumption. I really liked this book.

Finaghty's Irish Pub

Mom and I had lunch with our friend Ramona (as per every thursday after our knitting class at the senior center) at Finaghty's Irish Pub this afternoon. I got the Hummus and Pita plate with a diet coke. It was really good.

"An Englishman and a Scotsman were discussing oats. The Englishman, with his nose in the air said "In England we feed oats to our horses, and in Scotland you feed oats to your men...", to which the Scotsman replied "...that's why in England you have such fine horses and in Scotland we have such fine men!"

tomorrow i'm going to have some oatmeal. :)
okay, i had one of the lentil burgers for dinner with lettuce tomato and onion on a hamburger bun and it was sortof alright. tasty enough. when paired with the veggies. It tasted exactly like what it is....beandip burger. a nice way to get in your protein, b3, zinc, calcium and such...without meat.

Lentil Burgers


Today I made vegan veggie (lentil) burgers and put them in the freezer. They smell pretty good.
The recipe I used, can be found HERE .

tonight was kinda annoying while babysitting. I felt like a warden and not a babysitter. the kids are 5 (boy) and 8 (girl) and they were just rotten today.
so afterward, i stopped at taco time as planned, but had the bean crisp burrito meal instead of the veggie fit bowl. and a diet soda.

meatless day 2

so yesterday we didnt actually make the lentil spaghetti sauce, but i found a lentil patty recipe today that i'm going to try this week.
i made it through yesterday meatless. yay.
today has been fine as well. no headaches. i've had peanut butter as my protein so far today. tonight i think i'll cook up some black bean burgers. or something chickpeas.
i'll try and get some vegan next. no milk eggs cheese dairy and meat. i dont usually eat a ton of dairy, so this COULD be easy-ish. i do enjoy beef, so thats my challenge. but its been easy so far.
tonight, actually, i think i'll stop at taco time after i babysit and get a fit bowl. rice beans salsa. yum. yes, thats what my dinner will be.
all meatless day two is nearing completion.
