Holy veggies, Batman!

OK, so I am fresh off a workout, dripping with sweat and pride, and guzzling water like it is going out of style. How are you? I am currently still 7 pounds down. Haven't gained but haven't lost. Plateaus will happen. I am OK with it. The weight will start dropping again soon. Speaking of weight, I want to share with you just how awesome vegan food can be. Yesterday my cousin invited us over to cook out with his new grill. Of course, he and my hubby had real meat burgers loaded with manly slop. I took my vegan substitutes. I was starving, having not eaten anything all day. I ate like a pig! I had 2 vegan burgers with ketchup, pickles, and vegan cheddar cheese, and 3 vegan hot dogs with vegan cheddar cheese and mustard, plus a plate of seasoned fries. I totally gorged myself, and it was so tasty! Now here is the kicker: I weighed this morning and did not gain a single pound! The vegan food I had is packed with soy and fiber, so it went right through and did not deposit onto my hips! How awesome is that? Now you know if I had eaten that much in meat I would have gained a pound or two. But I gained nothing. I ate a ton of vegan deliciousness and I gained zero weight! Of course, I don't recommend binge eating like that hardly ever, but it is a holiday weekend and I wanted to have fun and be careless with my diet. I still can't get over how much I ate. It was so good! Now I plan to go relax and read a little bit. My new goal is to be down another 5 pounds by next Saturday. Let's see if I can do it....

Not dead yet....

I'm still at it. I just haven't blogged for a few days. What can I say? I got lazy. Sue me. I am still going strong on the vegan thing and the weight loss. I managed not to gain any weight at all during my lovely "time-of-the-month", which is amazing. Usually I just give in and binge, but not this time. A small victory. I am currently seeking a vegan meet up group for support, but seeing as I live in BFE there is only one near here and it is a bit too religion-based for me. *sigh* I suppose I am at the mercy of message boards for now. I could start my own group, but I am so not a trail blazer. I like to travel a path that has already been cleared. I do not delight in waving my machete of purpose through the bramble so that others may pass. Screw that. Beaten path, please. Maybe I am lazy. Oh well. It works for me. Anywho, I am still here, still vegan, still happy. Just a bit lazy and in need of support. Toodles.
