8.5lbs down as of Thursday

:D I go back and see my doctor on Wednesday...hopefully what I wi have accomplished thus far will be enough so that he doesn't get mad at me for stopping birth control and not filling the prescription for my triglycerides...

I'm back!

I haven't been posting much, due to time spent studying for finals and at a leadership training I was at, but now I'm back home in Pennsylvania, and I'll have lots more time to post (and work harder in my workouts!).

Yesterday's intake:

- ginger kombucha

- 1 frozen banana put through the food processor

- raw fermented sauerkraut

- tilapia and brussel sprouts, cooked in coconut oil 

- coconut milk curry with veggies and shrimp over quinoa

- 2 (mostly raw) cookies made with mixed raw nuts, cacao, flax and hemp seed, protein powder, dates, vanilla, and water. x:

Before I was letting myself have occasional dairy in my diet, but it was making my tummy a bit upset, so the dairy is officially gone! (boo ): )  On the bright side, I got a bunch of tinctures prepared yesterday, which should be ready to be bottled in 8 weeks!

Also, I'm excited today, because I'm making scotch eggs for the first time ever today. (: For my workout, I think I just want to spent some low-key time outside, so I'll probably hike for an hour and a half, and then go on a bike ride later, before doing my evening yoga. It's so nice out!

Vegan Challenge: Day 11

I was moving residences yesterday and I neglected to document what I enjoyed. Here they are:

BREAKFAST * Starbucks Fruit Cup (which, apparently, had to be discontinued temporarily due to a report of food poisoning. Therefore, I’m potentially a “walking time bomb.”) * Decaf Americano coffee

SNACKS * Raw almonds (I made sure to set some aside to which I had easy access all day while moving)

LUNCH * Stir fried broccoli, clauliflower, celery, onions, mushrooms at nearby Asian restaurant

SNACK * Raw almonds

DINNER * Vegan and gluten-free margherita pizza from local pizzeria

Okay, so I had to add another “cheat day” to my ongoing paleo efforts with that pizza. I was so tired last night after hauling all my crap— plus, my new kitchen is not usable right now— that I had to go for something easy and quick. Luckily, Eat Pizza on W Burnside offered vegan and gluten-free options. :)

20 more days to go on my January Vegan (and Mostly Paleo!) Challenge!
