HSOrlandos 2013 Journal: Being vegan in a non vegan world


Recommended Posts

I know these food posts are BORING! But they keep me honest. It sure doesn't look like I'm eating much, no wonder I don't have that much energy to workout.
I hear you. going for that extra cookie has me over a barrel as I am basically an honest guy so knowing I'm going to have to post it has kept me, how should I say it? Hungry! But if I remember to drink more and enough water it goes away.

Keep up the good work, I've got to get my gym act together more.

Hayley.......bad news, I won't be coming to Orlando VegFest after all....at least not for Vega, and not sure I can afford to get myself down there on my own. But if for some reason I do make it, I'll let you know. The Vega team won't need me there, so they won't be sending me after all.

 

I hope it is a great event!

 

I'm thinking of possibly spending my winter in FL.

 

Not sure of that either. Somewhere warm. Either AZ, NV, or FL is where I'm thinking right now....to spend winter working on more books.

 

Have a great one!

Thank goodness the two week phase is over! I can't wait to eat bananas again!!! My mom and I bothe weighed ourselves yeasterday. She's lost a total of about 11 pounds, and I've lost about 7 in the first two weeks.

Now that the sugar is all out of my system it is time to reintroduce good carbs. For this week I will just be adding one good starch, and one fruit daily, and next week two starches, and one fruit. This way my blood sugar levels won't escalate and I won't get those bad cravings. I'm quite happy with the progress, and can't wait to workout a bit more now as I have more energy and my clothes fit better. Today I did Step, went to Whole Foods, and then had some carbs!

 

8am-coffee, and rest of soy yogurt about 3/4 cup

1230pm- 15 almonds, flavored water- Twist brand

4pm- 2 burritos

515pm- coffee

7pm- celery and hummus

coffee during the morning at work

1230pm- vegan hotdog, black beans, tomato

4pm- banana-Yum first banana in two weeks

 

spin class at 430pm- great class, and even the small amount of carbs I'm having seems to be doing the trick, because I don't feel the low energy levels that I had for the past two weeks. Did pretty good in spin too!

I am a little concerned about weighing myself tomorrow, I've been a bit more active this week, but I have also been eating more carbs. I hope it all balances out alright. I also felt a bit sluggish, and tired a couple of days, but not because of my diet.
