No more wavering

Thank you lady at the grocery store for telling me about this delicious yet simple salad! 

I've been wavering over my veganism lately. Did some reading, some soul searching. Came across an article on the subject that said listen to your brain,..and your body. 

Today I ate nothing but processed in no way vegan food.... I am so sick!!!!  My body is kicking my ass over it!!

Putting this together with what my head knows I won't be wavering anymore!

Back to the salad. I have a big bowl of it in my frig. Planning ahead for tomorrow.  Suddenly excited about vegan food again! Got my vegan cook book out as well as another one on its way to my mailbox from mouthwatering vegan! I can't wait! 

I'm finally getting my head together a little at a time. Still heartbroken over my dogs. But I'm trying to heal.

Time for bed. Wanna be up and refreshed in the early morning shift. 

Peace.

 

Happy Day

A yummy start to a great day! Strong hot coffee and a yummy breakfast of browned shredded potatoes with kale, mushrooms, onions, garlic and tomatoes. Ezekiel sesame toast. Mmmm!

Then off to Columbus Zoo with our kids Sarah and Michael, his friend Amanda and of course the hubby. What a great day! I hate seeing the animals in captivity but I feel there is a need for these programs. The day started off with petting and feeding the stingrays. I loved it!

 There were so many fabulous moments I cannot even begin to share! Needless to say I can't wait to go back. The day ended on such a positive note and I'm definitely in a happy place. 

Oh yeah! Stuck to my WW points today as well! Lol.... Peace.

Nothing like a Sunny day

   Beautiful day and here I am at work!  Ah well shift is almost over and then it's home to the hubby and lots of little things to make our home, well, homey!

  The day didn't quite go like planned. Truck didn't arrive. Was so tired when I got home I slept until 8!  Prepared the hubby a big dinner and once he fell asleep I made my dinner too. Oh it was so yummy! Browned shredded potatoes with corn, mushrooms, onions and tomatoes with Daiya cheese. Then a toasted cheese sandwich as well on Ezekial bread. Mmmm!

The hubby was quite busy outside today and our yard looks beautiful. Motivates me to want to do more myself.  Gonna get my plants this week and get them in.  Think it's time to get those bulbs out too!

 Stayed within acceptable WW points today but want to do better not using up my extra points so quickly.  I'm determined to be successful. It should not be so difficult to be a reasonable weight being vegan!  If I can get rid of 50 lbs I hope to be more mobile. My legs hurt so much!

  That about sums up the day. Goodnight for now. Peace!

shiny as a new penny...

The woman I see.

Hi!  

How to start ...? 

Well... I'm fat.  Not plump, not "thick", not chubby. I'm fat.  I hate it. My knees and ankles hurt. I feel uncomfortable in my own body. 

I was doing great for awhile. Working out at the gym. Became vegan. Then my physical problems started. Couldn't work out anymore . Some serious family crisis occurred. Been so depressed. 

  I just don't want this anymore. 

  No more diets. 

  No more recriminations.

Welcome to my journey back...

For now it's about simplifying.

It's about really living a life I feel good about. 

Today I'm on a day off from my job as Presentation Manager at PetSmart. I've worked here 9 years and I really do enjoy it.  Some days are difficult right now due to what happened with my dogs, but some days it really keeps me going.
