1.5 lbs!!!

So excited 8.5 lbs in 2 weeks! I can't ask for anymore than that! My journey is just beginning and I feel amazing! Vegan mostly raw, a few slips along the way but I am doing well. No one said the tarnsition would be easy but it is rewarding and it is becoming easier. Most of the time I don't even think about how much of my vegetarianism centered around cheese. Cheese was definetly the downfall of restricting meat. Not that cheese is the devil but it has a way of making it into many dishes. Eliminating the cheese has been great, I know this may sound gross but when you don' have cheese in your diet you don' have mucus!!!!You know when you wake up and you spend the morning blowing your nose and coughing up the gross mucus that settles in your throat over night? Yes! No longer is my husband waking up to the sweet music of my nose and clearing of the mucosa throat! OK so enough about the mucus lets discuss some meals.....

Mornings have been kept to fruits.....let me let you in on a little tip Fruit is the easiest food to digest especially pineapple.

Lunches have been salads with cranberries and nuts.

Dinners have been lots of veggies and rice. Gluten free pastas with lots of fresh basil and garlic. Or some corn tortillas with grilled veggies and homemade salsa.

Snacks have been rice cakes,vegan rice pudding and veggies with hummus.
