locifer Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hola everyone! My name is Lolo and I'm one of the rare native Miamians who still lives here. I own an indie record store that is also one of Miami's only fully organic and fair-trade coffee bars. We have soy and rice milk, agave nectar, stevia and more vegan snacks than anyone but Whole Foods. Most people peg Miami for being super meaty, which it can be, but there are still tons of great veg restaurants and places with options. In my free time I made a website to spread that gospel - http://www.meatlessmiami.com. We even have an amazing 5-star vegan restaurant called Sublime which I cannot recommend highly enough if you're ever in the area. I've been vegetarian since I was 12 and currently am nearly vegan. I date an omnivore foodie so sometimes I can't resist his non-vegan baking but am trying to get him to swap out butter and eggs for Earth Balance and soy yogurt when he bakes for me! In fitness, I am currently training 2x a week at a rad local studio called Garage Workout. My trainer Dan is super supportive of my meatlessness (a former trainer kept telling me to "just eat some turkey or fish" and JUST DID NOT GET IT) and he seriously kicks my ass. I love yoga (even got my teacher certification in '03) and thanks to reading ChiRunning I now love running too! My goals are to tone up, lose some body fat, run a 5k and a 10k this year, and do a pull-up for the first time in my life. I've been training for several months and have already seen some great results, my 30-lb DJ case is a cinch to lug around now! That's all, I hope to post some pics soon, and I definitely have some great recipes to share. Nice to meet all you lovely peeps. Cheers,Lolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsorlando Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Welcome to the group. I live in Orlando, and have heard a lot about Sublime, mostly from PETA. Last year Orlando finally got their own vegan restaurant, it was about time! The place you train at sounds awesome by the way! Glad that you joined.

robert Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Welcome! I'm in FL at the moment I've heard about Sublime, in fact I heard about it from before it opened but haven't been. I think I'll make to Miami in 2009. I live in OR but travel a lot. All the best and welcome to our online community! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
