Progress, not perfection

So I've officially lost those last pesky 2lbs. I'm hoping I'll be down one more lb by tomorrow. I'd like to be able to post a loss for the week that is beyond getting back to where I was.

I just wanted to let everyone know that as of today I have a really solid grasp on my bbq tofu taco recipe. I need to make them one more time to figure out all the measurements and then I will post it, I know some of you are waiting. It's not the healthiest of all my recipes. ha. I hadn't eaten more than a protein bar today so I had four of them, but for now on I think two with a side salad will be my go to. The recipe I will pass along will be for a serving of 2,and it'll be around 430 calories. But it's the dynamite version of them with tofutti sour cream and daiya cheese, you can leave that stuff out as it's processed crap but every so often I feel like I need to do my tacos up right. ;) They are just crackling with flavor, I LOVE them.

I was feeling discouraged the other day so I took some pics so I could see some progress. There is even progress just in the last 10 lbs since my last pics. But anyhow, these are some of my (close to) before and during pics:



This is the difference in the last 10 lbs, I think it's most noticeable in my boobs and waist: 


Sometimes when things are tough and it's slow going you need these little reminders of progress.  Gotta remember, it's about progress, not perfection!

"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

"Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving."

I looked at this blog for the first time in two years the other day. I wanted to reference a post in another piece of writing. I had completely forgotten that I had revamped this site, and I like its look now. I do honestly miss writing here. So, I might try and liven the joint up a bit. Check back soon! Where am I now? I am going for a physical next Friday. It will be the first one I've had in a year and a half.  I have been gaining and losing the same 20 pounds my entire life, it seems. I have had some severe health issues in the last couple of years, like heavy shit that I'm not going to bore you with right now. Either way, my immune system decided to go bust. I have spent close to a year trying to improve it. I'm eating pretty healthy, I take vitamins now, and immune-boosting gummies, and zinc and blah blah blah. I was also suffering from chronic dehydration. Don't let yourself get there kiddie winkies. It's a bad time. I have spent the last three months or

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
