Veg Date: 0002.9
Today has been a good day.... Minus some set backs...
I'm definitely feeling not having any caffeine in my system. Headaches most of the day and that sort of thing.... But I think things will get better in the coming days!
I'm also sick of soups! But I'm having a lack of inspiration on what to make... I'm not used to making vegetables the main dish... In my head there should be a protein... And because of the way I've set everything up it's more difficult without bread too... We'll see if we can't get it all figured out here soon!
All that said, calorically, I'm still owning it between all the healthy food and the exercise today... It is a good thing... and its even shown on the scale!
Food today:
Breakfast
- Just an Applesauce
Lunch
- More Minestrone soup
Snack
- Almonds and Pistachios
- Grapes
- Cantaloupe
Dinner
- Whole Wheat Spaghetti with home made sauce
All that said today has been a great day! Looking forward to tomorrow.
"Just an applesauce" = rough.
ReplyDeleteMike!! I have a few AWESOME vegan cook books you can borrow! Plus I have a killer 3 bean vegan chili recipe that I LOVE. It's seriously the jam! Also, there are so many foods out there you can eat! Check out publix and walmart frozen sections have vegan and vegetarian friendly foods from boca, morning star farms(my fav), garden burger-they make so many different things now, even publix greenwise makes like tofu and soy ""hamburger "crumbles which is great for chili, sloppy joes, spaghetti, tacos!! its seriously yummy! and in the refrigerated section you can get vegan bbq tofu which is soo yummy!!! i make a vegan slaw (with veganaise-get the grapeseed oil one it tastes so much like kraft mayo) and put it on sprouted buns or bread (ezikeiel bread.. speaking of that their cinnamon raison one is awesome for breakfast!! ) smart balance makes a vegan butter, and there is vegan cheese! and its YUMMY!! the mozzarella tastes exactly like mozzarella cheese. we make vegan pizza all the time and chili and use that as a topping. also chipotle is vegan friendly for dining out.. and DEF try grass roots on florida ave. their iced ginger tea is AH-MAZ-ING!
ReplyDeleteyou can still make foods you look with substitues, lets say you like sloppy joes, lentils are a great alternative to beef as well.
Seriously Mike, I have tons of info! Dont just eat soup and applesauce, or you will hate it, there are so many yummy things you could be eating :-)
also tofutti makes "sour cream", cream cheese,"" ice cream" i dont eat the ice cream but its good, but if you are making a recipe that calls for sour cream or cream cheese they taste very similar and are great alternatives. I cook with coconut oil as well. its tasteless and the best oil for you.
oh and MY fav dessert is sticky rice made with coconut milk and whatever fruit you like. sweet sticky rice, you can buy it at the korean market on Edgewood. I love that store! Chamberlains is another good place to check out. ohhh and you can still eat cereal! almond milk is my fav!! kent drinks it too bc he eats very little dairy as well. he gets the vanilla , i like the plain. they also make chocolate and horchatta and all kinds of yummy things! We need to go shopping one day!
Hope has some awesome info! Yes, get some whole grain cereal and cut some berries into it and get soy milk. Yum! I get unsweetened silk and love it. You can even substitute crackers for bread. And make black bean burgers for a protein option. I'm excited about Hope's chili. I'm about to ask for her recipe.
