I got up this morning and stepped on scales and have now lost 6.8 lbs altogether and an 1 1/4" off my waist!! and really I am not watching what I eat. I just try to make most of the day healthy. I am loving this.
Monday I did not get the lentil tacos made and neither did I last night so tonight I have to. Monday I went with a black eye pea and collard green type stew. Sounds healthy huh? Well I made fried cornbread to go with it so the health factor went down a little bit. And last night was Moo Shu Veggies with fried rice. All I had to do with fried rice was leave the egg out. I just added some yummy veggies. The two main meals were from Supermarket Vegan, the cookbook I blogged about the other day. Utterly Fantastic cookbook, some of you may be receiving one as a present from me. I'm sure there is some little copyright issue with me typing half of her book on my blog. Tomorrow night I have to have pinto beans, I absolutely CRAVE beans now. I just want a big bowl of beans all the time!!! The only meat dish I miss is hamburgers, it's the only thing right now that I look at and just want to have. You know there are a LOT of hamburger commercials on tv, really, a lot. Oh and Master Chef made me want an egg reallll bad last night but I am over that, it was a fleeting craving. Well I am off the the local health food store later to see what they have. I have not been in it since I starting eating vegan so I hope they have some pleasant surprises.
Congratulations on the weight loss! Particularly with going home for part of that. You had to work very hard to stay vegan under those circumstances. Let me know how the lentil tacos are. I am not sure I can get the family to eat them unless they are really low calorie. I think Shawn would eat them then.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tara, not sure if they are low calorie but it's got good fiber! I actually opened up a can of veg. refried bean and had those instead. Sometimes I just can't stand the smell of vegetable broth and let Harry go with the lentils. Jo and I had the refried beans tacos. I think when we finally get a space in the garage for a freezer I'll just make my own veggie broth. I make an asian one that is fantastic so a reg. one shouldn't be too hard.
