Sorry it's been a few days. Let's just say I didn't eat the best this weekend. I'm back up to 131 pounds. I should be at least down to 128 by now. Today I had:
yogurt
plain granola
strawberries
pineapple
cranberry muffin
1 piece of wheatberry bread with pb, honey, cinnamon and goji berries
apple
green tea
4 crystallized ginger pieces
1 whole bagel with pesto, tomato slices and mozzarella
cooked carrots
a few fries with blue cheese dressing (oops)
brownie with 2 scoops ice cream
cracklin oatbran
as you can see, I started eating nonvegan foods again. I've decided to give up desserts and sweets for Lent, so I decided to eat those foods this week. I don't know if I could go 2 1/2 months without cheese! but as you can see, I went a little overboard with dessert. And cracklin oatbran will be the end of me.

I love food!
I just love food so much that I can't stop! Yoga before my 8am class was great! We moved quickly today which I needed to wake up!
For breakfast (after yoga) I had 1/2 a sandwich with almond butter, a little honey, cinnamon and goji berries sprinkled on. After class I had a soy latte and a little banana, but it was gross so I threw it away.
For lunch, I had a sandwich on whole wheat with hummus, onions, spinach, cucumbers and a little spicy mustard. I also had a pickle spear.
Then I had to rush to work at the costume shop. I was exhausted and there wasn't much to do, so the time passes slowly. Afterwards, I went straight to track but I didn't think I would have energy so I had some sunchips.
Track was good, and my new pole came in! It was like Christmas all over again!
Dinner is where I go wrong. There's just so much to eat! I had roasted red potatoes, cooked carrots and lentils with veggies. I also had some cheerios with rice milk, toast with honey and cinnamon, and an apple. Nighttime snack was cracklin oat bran (oops - It's so good! like dessert!), an apple with almond butter, and cranberry juice. I don't even get that hungry at night! It's just so tempting and I can't help wanting it. Even tea doesn't make me stop wanting it.
Tomorrow's a looooong track meet. And Trinity will be there - from San Antonio! I wonder if anyone from my high school will be there. My goals for food are not to eat the snacks (put them in the food box right away), no more than a whole sandwich (almond, not peanut butter, or hummus), and fruit and carrots if I get hungry again. Only eat when I'm actually hungry! and not till after I compete - listen to HP instead! Good luck me!!!

Raw...ish
My friend wanted to eat raw foods today, so I did it with her!
For breakfast I had 1/2 grapefruit, 2 slices of pineapple and a slice of melon.
Lunch was hummus with a little olive oil and black pepper and lots of fresh veggies for dippin! I also had a banana and most of an apple (it was a little past its prime) with honey and cinnamon for dessert.
For dinner I had a big mixed greens salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, more hummus and veggies, and a pear. Then...they had my favorite cookies. So I had one. and another. And at lunch they had vegan coconut macaroons that looked good, so I took one for tomorrow. But then I had to wait to eat dinner and I was hungry...
My workout was warm up and stretch, then lots of mini hurdles. Then I lifted arms - I did 2 sets of 12 of all the machines and then did some free weights too. I did the elliptical for about 10 minutes after that for cool down.
It was after dinner where I really went crazy. I had some trail mix with almonds, soy nuts, cranberries and pumpkin seeds. Not the worst food, but everything was cooked in oil and it is VERY fattening. And then I was craving more fat so I had 2 90 calorie packs of almond butter. 330 calories I didn't need! I will never lose weight and get healthy this way.
On a different note, I went to the public library and got some Harry Potter books on CD!! I LOOOOOOOVE Harry Potter. I'm getting them all on my computer since the books were too big to take with me to college.
Well, I should stop procrastinating and go read about emerging infectious diseases! Sounds fun, right?!?

Here we go!
So, my computer is broken and I can't get any pictures up, but hopefully I'll find a way soon! You'll just have to imagine. I know, it's tough to use your brain.
I have an 8am class, so I usually eat something on the way or when I get there. This morning it was a banana. Then I met my friend next door in the campus coffee shopto do some homework before my 11am class. I had a small soy latte. Lunch was a hummus wrap and some Tazo Refresh tea - it's really good! Peppermint is my new favorite kind of tea. Well, it was been for a while but sometimes I like it more than others.
Today's a pole vault day at track - we only get to vault Mondays and Wednesdays so I have to make it count! Monday I had to do the sprinter's workout too, which was good because I worked hard. Today I didn't have time to do abs or lift though, so I'll have to do it later tonight. Maybe I can get my roommate to go too!
For dinner I had a "chickpea butternut florentine", mixed greens salad with raspberry vinaigrette, some REALLY GOOD seasoned fries (oops) and 2 vegan chocolate chip muffins. I took a pear and some cracklin' oatbran for later. I checked, and it's vegan but there's 221 calories for only 3/4 cup! I need to stop eating it.
Well, here's good luck for tomorrow!

Happy Groundhog Day!
So, I decided to be vegan for a month. I've tried this before, but I always just focused on what I couldn't eat, and would sneak it. I've decided to document it with pictures as well, if I can charge my camera! I want to do what's best for the environment and my body! I want to eat to live, not live to eat! Socrates said it so long ago yet we still have trouble and it's getting worse.
Well, happy 6 more weeks of winter!
