hey Lady, great to see you back on the board and giving things another crack! Remember not to get disheartened when you don't see immediate results - I always think that you got to give things at least 4 weeks to get started i.e. you are seeing the results now from what you did 4 weeks ago...so no wonder nothing special is happening!
The vegan thing sounds interesting. I was toying with going veg for a few weeks or month just to see if I could and what effect it would have on me but I decided at the moment, keeping up protein would be difficult without more time to prepare proper meals.

That is SO what I needed to hear/remember!! I don't know why I get so obsessive about NEEDING to see the scale go down every day - I certainly wasn't in any hurry to see how quicky I put it on and made the numbers go up!
I am really happy with my vegan diet. I was a vegan for about 9 months several years ago simply because I watched some PETA videos and couldn't stop crying. I've *wanted* to be a veg or vegan since I was a little kid because I hate the idea of hurting any animals, but I loved greasy fast food a bit more obviously!!
Now that I am being a vegan for my health AND for animals I feel much more comfortable!

Call me Captain Strawberry.
Oh hey there diary,
Today is such a blah time. When I have school or work pending on my day, even if it's not till 5pm or 7pm, I find it SO hard to get motivated to do anything of value because I have convinced myself I won't get to do whatever it is I need to do *thoroughly* enough...
HA! Yes, because it is much better not to do anything at all so at least I don't feel interrupted! I'm a lazy, crazy lady!!
In other news, feeling totally lazy has also helped me feel totally non-hunrgy. I just wandered out and ate a good chunk of our strawberries, but other than that I feel kind of gross about eating because my tummy is being combative.
AND this morning the scale finally went in the downward direction again!
It didn't move by a whole lot, but still - I'll take any move that brings me closer to being in the 200's!!
Peace, love, and berry bellies,
Bridget

How about getting someone to take your scales away for 4 weeks...and just go on HOW good you start feeling, how much more energetic and not out of breath, how your clothes are fitting....then hop on the scale after that time and see what's gone on?
I get so demotivated just becaues I got like 3lbs of liquid in me different from the day before...because I like weighing several times a day but I know that is not a good thing for me to do!

Being all stove using, and stuff...
Yeah!! I so agree - We are gonna kick fat's butt!!
Oh hey there diary,
So I had class from 8am - 4pm, and then I rushed home and made pesto. I used the following recipe and made a LOT of it!
3 cups fresh basil
2/3 cup olive oil
1 cup pine nuts
1 cup walnuts
5 cloves garlic
2/3 cup nutritional yeast
I processed it all up in my handy-dandy food processor, and tasted it on a cracker.... IT WAS SO AMAZING!
(Of course, anything with that much oil would have to be good, right?
iggy
Anyways... I boiled some fettucine and tried to mix some of the pesto as evenly as I could over the noodles. It didn't taste as good on the pasta... Not sure exactly what I think is wrong, but it just didn't wow me on the pasta like it did on the cracker...
Now I am super full and getting ready to go to work, but I just HAD to share about my latest cooking experience!!
Peace, love, and fresh basil,

Hey lady
Oh I am here and doing just fine... I am feeling stressed and overwhelmed by school and trying to imagine a life as a wealthy housewife...
Money... Can't live without it, can't kill people for it.
