Vegan with a vengeance....

I am back, I am vegan, and I am ready to roll! Since my last post, I have FINALLY completed my degree (yay!) and I am now free from the hectic schedule of student life. I can now focus on giving up cheese for good and getting back to being a true vegan! Let me tell you, cheese did a number on my system. Just by eating dairy products again, I went from 242 to 264 lbs in only 2 months! Dammit Janet! There is so much yucky stuff in cheese, it is unbelievable. I am now back on track and in just 4 days I am down 6 lbs already! I feel better, I worked out today (for the first time in months. i am so lame.) and I am in a pretty great mood. Consider me a very happy Libra! As for the workout, all I can say is GOOD LORD I AM OUT OF SHAPE. I didn't realize how badly my muscles had atrophied until I started moving. It is really pathetic! I mean, I used to be atheletic! I used to run circles around people in softball, and I could dance my ass off at national competitions! Today I did a beginners "walk at home" workout that seemed to be set at almost a geriatric pace. I almost didn't make it to the end. Seriously. I know I have a long way to go, but I am finally ON my way and that is a big step! There is a skinny me in here somewhere....
