Day 3

I fear I am doing something wrong! I get a little lightheaded in the afternoon and wonder if I am not eating enough. I think what I am eating keeps me satisfied and I don't feel the hunger pains but then get dizzy because I haven't ate enough. I have lost almost 3 lbs since Monday so maybe I am not eating enough. Can I say eating enough too many times? haha I feel fantastic other than being lightheaded. Systems are running smooth, TMI huh? Still loving my FLT(Facon and tomato sandwich) for breakfast and my yogurt, fruit and chocolate chips for an afternoon pick me up. Tonight was pizza night and it was way yummy. Pillsbury pizza crust and ragu pizza sauce are both vegan. Throw a bunch of veggies on and then the fake cheese(can't remember the brand) and it was a success. Of course we had 3 pizzas--mine and Harry's vegan--Bethy's gluten free--and Nate and Jo's regular. Bethy's had homemade crust and homemade sauce, not mine, I went for easy. The grilled cheese for lunch was not as successful. Not all the cheese melted and the texture was a little weird. I think I will try to find some other brand of sliced cheese when I go back to whole foods.
My goal for tomorrow is to remember to eat more often and see if that helps.

Tofu stirfry: Stirfry cut up tofu(1 1/2 cups) in peanut oil in a wok with a little sesame oil til tofu is browned. Then add some garlic and about 4 or 5 cups of veggies of your choice(broccoli, red pepper, onions, green onions are good) saute til crisp tender then add a combination of 3 tbsp of hoisin sauce, 3 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of sesame oil, 1 tbsp sugar mixed together and pour over and cook additional 2 or 3 minutes. I think next time I will add a little ginger. Then serve over rice. I am typing this from memory so if you need additional help just let me know. I may have forgotten something. OK I checked recipe and the amounts are right. For you tofu avoiders chicken can be used.

  1. oooooh that tofu recipe soounds great! Here's my vegan "pizza" Use a lg portobella mushroom (one for each person) cut the stem, save to chop later for an omelette. Pour pizza sauce on the gill side after spraying the "top" side with pam. top with your fave pizza toppings, onion, jalapeno, turkey pepperoni or soy crumbles, olives etc. and your cheese of choice, I use half skim (I guess this makes it vegetarian and not vegan huh?) Anyway, then bake for 15 mins at 425. YUM!!!! Guilt free pizza!

  2. The tofu stir fry sounds great! Think I may try it. Wonder if I can sneak it by Greg when he gets back? Keep up the good work!

  3. Harry took some to work and the guys thought it was chicken. They were about to give him a hard time about eating chicken while being a vegan, lol.
