My life in rambles

This blog post is word vomit. That's what happens when I'm away for so long, too much to say at once!

So I moved my liquid fast from Monday to today, it's going well. I've had a protein shake and some juice and water. I made fresh carrot and apple juice for lunch and for a snack at work I had an odwalla strawberry type juice.

I had a dream last night, a nightmare really, that I had lost 2 lbs and someone at work said not to worry that I was looking a little pudgier than usual. I was mortified and screamed "I'VE LOST WEIGHT WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?"

I'm not sure how to interpret that. I mean I guess it could go a few ways, but the most likely I think is that I'm freaking out over gaining a few lbs. I've been very strict lately, doing very well, I hope to post a loss on Sunday.

Also, tomorrow I'll be posting my blood work results and maybe a loss if they weigh me, I might as well post it. It's been six months since my last blood work, a lot has changed, including adding a medication that can raise sugar and cholesterol. :( Hopefully all will be good and I won't have those particular side effects.

In this spirit of this blog post being all over the place, I just wanted to say I bought two new pairs of jeans (Different styles as well) and both were a size 16. Big smiles all around.

Keep an eye out for my 'flank steak' bbq tofu taco recipe coming soon!

Cookbook giveaway! (Appetite for Reduction) Enter now!

This contest is for U.S residents only: Okay, so I have a few ideas for some giveaways that I'm planning on doing over the next few months. This is the first one, the next one I'll do once I hit 100 followers cuz it's a bigger prize and I'd like as many people as possible to be able to enter and spread the word. Contest Deadline: Starts now (April 12th) Ends before midnight (eastern time) April 22nd 2011 For now, I will be giving away a copy of my favorite cookbook, Appetite for Reduction , by Isa Chandra Moskowitz << Her website. The Prize: This book is amazing, a lot of non-vegans think that vegan cookbooks are all full of strange ingredients that are only available at health food stores, but that isn't the case with this book. It has simple recipes made with easy to find and prepare ingredients and nearly everything in the book is between 200-400 calories per serving, and the servings are a good size. I've made many fabulous dishes from this b

"Courage is the hallmark of a warrior"

Are you traveling this path alone, or with your significant other? Joey and I started on this path in earnest on October 19th 2010. He eventually went veggie, I went vegan and we've both become pretty health conscious. He's lost about 22 lbs, I've lost almost 70 now. (He doesn't have nearly as much to lose.) Exposure Therapy Joey has a fairly wide streak of social anxiety. He came with me to the gym the day I got my free 3 day pass earlier this week. He even came on the tour of the gym with me, which was panic inducing for him. I had butterflies, but he was shaking and miserable just sitting in the waiting area after the tour, and he was all alone. Today I asked him to sign up for the 3day pass. I know right now he doesn't have the time or the drive to get a membership, he just wouldn't use it enough for it to matter. But I wanted him to expose himself to the idea, I think exposure therapy is good for him, in many ways. I think it can help a lot of peop

"Nothing to say but Mmmmm" vegan alfredo

~*~*~This recipe is gluten free and vegan~*~*~ As are all my recipes Serves two. UPDATE: 3/17/2011 I have de-spiced this a bit and gave directions for a smaller serving of sauce. It seems I like my food spicier than most! ;) I've tried many vegan alfredo recipes I found online or in cookbooks and I never made one that i liked so much i made it twice. Always looking for something better. Tonight I messed around and created my own. My bf took one bite and he made.... The "O" face. Ha! He named this recipe when he said, "Nothing to say but Mmmm...". EDITED TO ADD: You will have LOTS of sauce left over, you can easily cut the sauce ingredients in half. Oops. What you need: Here it is, excuse my horrible handwriting. I tried. ;) Here is a pic of stuff I used: Directions: I made the alfredo sauce while the gluten free (bionatura is my fave brand), pasta cooked. I put 1 pack of mori nu lite silken tofu into the ninja ( my food processor above ), and
