Great job keeping up with your training journal. Which type/brand of vegan cheese do you use to make nachos with? Also my friend who is a comedian who happens to be black and gay has a joke that goes - people say gay is the new black but I'm not even done with being black yet. I love it, he's super funny. Look him up, Solomon Georgio.

dylan-

I will look up your comedian friend for sure! the best vegan cheese i have found so far is the daiya brand. they have cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack. not sure if there are any other flavors. i think its a good product and do not mind using it over dairy cheese at all

Thanks for the tip on the cheese for nachos. I have had that brand. I like it melted so I will try it on nachos. I think it tastes horrible when not melted though haha.

Excellent work on keeping up with your journal entries this month and being so thorough. You are definitely approved for the prize package.

Keep it up, just because the contest is over doesn't mean that it isn't still super beneficial to the rest of us on the forum to get to continue to read and comment on each others journal entries in the future.

the insanity dvds are ok. I copied them from a friend and use them occasionaly on a day where I want to do something a bit different or dont feel like thinking of a workout! its great cardio, quite a bit of plyometric jumping stuff which isnt for everyone but they are a different kind of challenge.

So, you've got your husband making you vegan meals, eh? NICE! Is it the fact that the meals are vegan that's the big step, or the fact that he's cooking?

 

Have a great week ahead!

 

Yes! he is actually a great cook and pretty open minded with food but it hasnt been until recently that he has gotten more into veganism. I have had Roberts book for about a year and have of course talked to him about it as well as brendans books, but he randomly read it last week and has been following a vegan meal plan based off of the book all week. of course im thrilled! for him his big thing is cheese, so when he grabbed the nutritional yeast and didnt buy any cheese for him i know that was a big step.

have a great weekend as well!
