It's been a few days since I logged on.
I have been busy with the harder part of my schoolwork.

I just did a great workout for 40 minutes with some weights and cardio nicely mixed up.
Still waiting on my jars of Vega that were sent to make my protein intake a bit easier.
I have been juicing lots of veggies and trying recipes from Brandon Braziers books and Ani Phyo.
Some easy on hand bars and making food in bulk.

I have been looking at Jillian Michael's Body Revolution dvd series.
Love the trailers.

Well, my birthday is 3-3 so who know!

Also I have been finding positivity in John Demartini's book: Breakthrough experience!

How are all of you?

[BlueStorm]

Just so you guys know HOW much it is freeeezing...
This is one of the pictures taken this week.

[kareno]

WOW! What a gorgeous picture!!!!

Did you get your Vega protein yet? What flavor did you get, and what do you think of it? I really like it!

Hope you're having a wonderful start to your week!

How are things going with your vegan diet?

I know it has been 6 weeks or so now and I'm curious to see how you're doing.

Thank you for all your kind words.

All the very best!

Robert, thanks for checking in.
I have been to the site but have logged not so much.
I recieved the amazing prize package, thank you!

I have been trying to figure out what I wat to do with this.
Had a few hiccups but after re-arranging the fridge and cabinets I am set for success.
All the info I got at the blood examination and all I have been reading online, video's I am absorbing, my study...I am thinking of starting something here in The Netherlands to create more awareness.
May it be through a blog ( I noticed I like to cook and take pictures so for people it will get more appealing) or even a book.
A lot of ideas, now sort them out and set realistic goals.
I will be here blogging more. Promiss.

I'll leave you with the first vegan/raw lime pie I made this week.
Tomorrow I am making Ani Phyo's raspberry cake she advised for my birthday Saturday.

Cheers!

Oh, yum yum yum!!!

Writing my Essay vor VBB and being very busy.
Thinking about joining the Transformation challenge with Bill Phillips.
Ofcourse as a Vegan advocate, the rules have changed and so do the times.
Let's show them they do not need so much meat and show myself how I can transform.
More to come soon!

[BlueStorm]

So I have walked 7.3 km this morning and planning weights in the afternoon.
My eating is clean yet to fight of fatigue a bit.
Lentils are on the stove and made a great herb mixture so it will have this exotic flavour to it.
How do others complete their lentil-protein intake?
3 bean rule? Or some nuts?
Love your thoughts on this.

My best friend is ordering 5 tubs of Vega as well ( I send her some and she loved it too)
I make mine with spinach, gets it in easier then salads in the winter.

I started on 2 books ( I should focus on studying though, yet I love books nowadays) and they are so inspiring.
Phsychology of winning is a must read.

Be back soon!

[kareno]

Hi there! It is always fun to read your posts. Personally, I rarely eat lentils. Not because I don't like them, but they're just not generally on my "radar", so to speak. I actually like them a lot, but I need to find a simple and tasty way to make them. What's your secret?

Have you been doing the Bill Phillips challenge? How is that going for you?

Hope all is well!!

Take care,
Karen
