I’m not one to cheat on anything. I love following the rules and sticking to plans but I fell off this week. I am not sure as to what sparked my disinterest in eating healthy but all I want is cake. I have yet to find a vegan recipe that looks/tastes like my grandmother’s chocolate… Continue reading Everybody Deserves a Cheat Day… Right?

My “skinny” shorts
Today I fit into these bad boys. I have struggled to find shorts that fit so I’ve been known to wear pants on hot days. Not today my friends. Today I wore pre-baby shorts and they were big on me. Score! I’m starting to see results not only on the scale but with my clothes.… Continue reading My “skinny” shorts
Shame me again- I dare you.
I cut out meat and most dairy a little over a month ago. I was trying something new after watching ‘What the Health’ on Netflix. I started off extremely positive because I was able to make food from recipes that I purchased. The recipes came with a shopping list for the week and you use… Continue reading Shame me again- I dare you.
I forgot to blog yesterday!!!
This was my day. My little man was dehydrated and spent the whole morning at urgent care. I was not able to eat at all. I was starving when I got home and cooked up some meatless tacos (so good). I was angry that the meatless beef did not cook as well as regular beef.… Continue reading I forgot to blog yesterday!!!
Working
Today I worked 10 hours and all I thought about was how I miss cheese cubes. Whenever I get stressed out I eat cheese- and lots of it. All my favorite snacks have milk in them. So what I did today is found the vegan section at my store. I found some vegan cheese and… Continue reading Working
First Dinner
Holy cow! I’m so happy that I liked tonight’s recipe. I went out of order due to time restraints. Beans take forever to cook. I need to prep those for another night! Tonight’s meal was pasta and vegetables. I found a low carb pasta since I am still trying to maintain my calorie intake. Pictured… Continue reading First Dinner
Chickpeas
Just for anyone’s information if you are looking for a quick meal- having a chickpea salad is not. I’ve been cooking them for the last 30 mins. I still have 30-60 mins more to go.
Day 1- Preping My Meals
Good Afternoon! I woke up around 7:30am and I had little to no motivation to get moving. My toddler hates when I am lazy and he demanded a wake up and feed him. I dragged my feet to the kitchen and I prepared him his breakfast which consisted of a banana, grapes, and milk. While… Continue reading Day 1- Preping My Meals
Novice, that’s for sure.
Tonight I watched “What the Health” on Netflix and I was inspired. If you are unfamiliar with the documentary I highly suggest it. Now, I just want to say for all those that have seen it might have the same thought process… Will cutting out processed meat and dairy really help me feel healthier? Currently… Continue reading Novice, that’s for sure.
