DAY 1

Ok...here we go...

This morning I was 135.4 (at least I lost 1 lb in my sleep).  I had a protien shake and 1/2 cup coffee for breakfast. (Trying to get off coffee but doing it slowly)  I used Almond milk for the shake and coffee. 

I am going to spend my day at Trader Joes trying to figure out what Vegans eat!!!  My sister tells me there are things like "vegan sausages."  WHAT?  What the hell would be in that?  Keep you posted.

Just got back from Trader Joes and they have tons of stuff.  My friend gave me a link for all things vegan at TJs.

My lunch...it was actually good.  That thing that looks like turkey is called "tofurky".  Added a little hummas, basil, tomato and sprouts on a whole wheat tortilla. 

Dinner was a success...or at least in my mind.  Vegan Fried Rice and Sushi.

Tim in not home yet...so we will see what he thinks.  I got both recipes out of  "The Kind Diet." 

1 day down...27 to go...

Getting Ready...

1. Made the decision to do it...Vegan 28 days...
2. Set a start date...tomorrow (3/31/10) 
3. Got a cookbook - "The Kind Diet" 
4. Got on the scale... 136.2.  Hoping I am a little lighter because I just finished dinner and it is the end of the day...could be wishful thinking...



5. Set a goal...lose 10 lbs in 28 days. 

We will see how this goes.  I am going to blog about what I eat and make, my weight gain and loss, and how my family and I are surviving.  I have never done anything like this before.  I have never even been a vegatarian before let alone a vegan.

Until tomorrow...
