I made a decision yesterday to join weight watchers again. I’m up about 10 lbs from goal weight which isn’t terrible but that weight has been creeping up slowly since I stopped working out in June. Yes, vegans can gain weight. I’m just eating a lot of vegan crap and I can’t seem to get it under control on my own. I need the accountability of facing a scale each week. Unfortunately, sometimes when I’m on my own and I’m in…
I made this recipe and I have to be honest,I hated the taste with the sun dried tomatoes. However I learned a very handy tip when cooking. If food taste too acidic a sprinkle of baking powder can regulate the taste of any sauce or soup so you can save it. I made this a second time without the sun dried tomatoes and it was excellent. Have a wonderful fall Sunday. Harvest Moon Squash Soup Ingredients 1 medium butternut squash…
I haven’t talked about this topic in a while. Yep, I am still vegan, except my coffee. I’m still adding a little bit of half-and-half, so shun me. I just cannot handle that non-dairy milk alone in my coffee cup. Other than that, I have no issues, no cheats, no tastes no nothing. My weight? Well I gave up my scale and I checked in this month and it’s holding steady at 150.5 lbs. Not my thinnest number but definitely…
When I decided to eat vegan, I heard from many people; you won’t get enough protein, you be deficient in vitamins or you’ll be hungry because you can only eat salad. I’m now vegan for 9 months and I have proof that none of that is true. When I first became vegan I did loose about 8 pounds but that weight has returned and doesn’t fluctuate much. I can attribute some of that to a change in exercise due to…
I’m very proud of myself, I haven’t stepped on the scale in a month. Today for this post, I stepped on. My weight 150.3. Technically, I am down 2lbs from a month ago, but my body usually hovers around the 150.0 mark naturally. For clarification purposes. I am 5’2″ so according to the charts, I am overweight. I am a size 8 in jeans, even own some 6 and some 10. I decided a month ago I had enough of…
In meditation and my prayers I’ve been trying to change the way I see myself, change my body image perception and my ideal goal numbers. I compare myself to everyone and never in a positive way. I am the most critical of myself and I am the most critical of myself in body image and weight. I always have an answer, excuse a criticism when I look in the mirror, so I basically stopped looking from my neck down. I…
I came home from physical therapy, completely spent. I put on the television and there was an infomercial on for the Veggie Bullet. Within 13 seconds I was online checking it out. I use a Cuisinart food processor that I received as an engagement gift. Let’s just say that if I was still married, yesterday, May 25, would’ve been my 21st Anniversary. So the Cuisinart was an engagement gift which was easily received a year before that. It mostly works fine…
This is me, raw, no makeup, in my pjs, I may have brushed my hair. This is my blog. This is my journey. However, I always hope that I help someone. I hope somebody can relate to this. I hope I can connect. But in the end I write for me. Today this blog is about me. Today I’m setting forth my intentions in a contract to myself. I wrote a blog not too long ago that me and my issues…
My daughter stepped on the scale and was 5-6 pounds lighter. My daughter, who is normal and not obsessed with the scale as her mom, doesn’t weigh herself often. She has no reason to, she’s very thin, looks wonderful in everything, she’s 17. Her mother, on the other hand, has finally learned to limit herself to once a week. However when her daughter weight was so low, I needed to check the scale myself. It was the same as four days…
Yes I apologize in advance, I’m back to weight and body image once again in my blog. I’m really convince a lot of clothes manufacturers changed the sizing of clothes. Clothes shopping has never been easy for me. Primarily, I have multiple sclerosis and can’t do it. Secondly, I’m a pear. When you’re a pear, your shopping for clothes to fit a smaller waist, larger hips, thighs, and butt. That and a 5 foot two frame, and you got a…
