It’s been a good two days! I’ve been eating REALLY well and working out like crazy! I got in an hour of cardio (20 on the treadmill doing the Couch to 5k, 40 on the elliptical trainer) at the gym both yesterday and today, with another planned for tomorrow and Thursday. I’ve also been bicycling, [...]

The Daily: But, why?

i thought I’d add some yogurt into my diet. I enjoy eating it, probiotics are good for you, etc, etc. So, I grabbed a few last time I was at my local HFS. I was just going to put the nutritional information into my calorie calculator when I read, “Contains milk (our cultures are milk [...]
One step forward, two steps back

Today was something of a disaster, a very horrible sort of disaster. It started last night with a general anxiety attack (dying alone, as a fat, awkward bum because I’m not smart enough to get into grad school and everyone around me is about a billion times smarter. Geneeral twenty-somethings angst, I guess). A truly [...]

One Week Smoke Free!!
7 days, 4 hours, 24 minutes and 49 seconds smoke free.
86 cigarettes not smoked.
$25.20 and 15 hours of your life saved.
Hooray! Unfortunately, I didn’t leap into eating well today. Didn’t have any food in the house! But, it’s all about the baby steps, anyway. I’m pretty pleased, though, overall. I haven’t [...]
20-Week Program

I found a thread on SparkPeople.com today about it being just 20 weeks until New Year’s! The whole idea was to have a whole new body and lease on life by the start of the New Year. I think it’s a lovely idea, really. The week’s challenge was to eat three servings of vegetables a [...]
Joyous News & A Resolution

I made this post on vegweb tonight:
Tonight after class, a friend and I headed out to a cafe we used to frequent a great deal during the regular school year but hadn’t been to in some time. Resigned to a bowl of vegetarian chili (though delicious vegetarian chili!) I still flicked over the menu. It [...]
Convenient

I’ve never been physically repulsed by animal products before–that never really factored in to my decision to pursue veganism. Lately, however, I’ve been developing one HELL of a lactose intolerance with cheese especially. I’ve been ordering all my coffee drinks with soy, lately, so perhaps that’s prevented me from noticing how bad it really has [...]
A bit of bad news.

Those of you who are following this (…anybody…*taptaptap* Is this thing on?), will have noticed that I haven’t posted in a very, very long time. I’ve been without Internet, though I have it once more. I have also fallen entirely off the diet bandwagon. Big time.
I’m back above 180lbs. I hoped I’d never see [...]

She’s the Tofu in my Stir-Fry

This posting is about how much I absolutely love my mother. She is being as supportive and angelic as can be! She took me to two bookstores to search out veg*n cookbooks, and even bought one for me (Yes, I finally own Vegan with a Vengeance!) and helped me find the other (Vegan Planet, about [...]
