About Me

Now that I am following an almost Vegan diet people are much more concerned about my nutritional intake than they have ever been in my life. It is amazing actually, so I figure I might as well give them what they want: open access to my daily dining regimen. After all, I have nothing to hide! I say “almost” Vegan because I do my best to eat a vegan diet, but I do not worry too much about honey or refined sugar. I have a "don't ask don't tell" policy when it comes to eating out. My wardrobe still contains animal products from the past because I can't afford to replace everything I own. Basically, I am almost Vegan because I want to reduce animal cruelty, help preserve the environment, contribute to ending world hunger, and be as healthy as I can be; but I also want to enjoy my life and not become obsessed. If you disagree with my philosophy that's quite alright, I'm starting to get used to it.

Back to Reality

I almost forgot that I have job, like "Oh yeah, I have to go to work. I can't just hangout with my husband and family and have fun all the time....!" Another reality check was coming home to our pantry which I intentionally wiped out before we left, so I'm kinda flying by the seat of my pants as far as eating today goes. We plan on going grocery shopping tonight after I get off work. I'm hoping to look through my new vegan cookbooks for inspiration beforehand if possible. My husband and I both need to step up our food game now that we are back to reality, we basically chowed down on our trip. I was able to maintain my weight within my normal flux range but on the higher end of course. My husband was depressed this morning to find that he had gained about 7 pounds so I think he may be even more willing to eat some veggies this week...we'll see!
