Now It Gets Tough!

                                        One year ago!

I’ve been doing this vegetarian thing for almost a month now. I’ve lost almost 10 pounds, I feel a whole lot better and things are lookin’ good!
Now for the hard part. I leave tomorrow morning to pick up the slave driver from college! I can’t wait to see her, but I have this sneaking feeling she’s going to be a lot tougher on me. I’m pretty pleased with 20 minutes of exercise a day and 40 minutes once a week. I know she’s going to try and coerce me into more. Vegetarian hasn’t been bad. There’s some pretty yummy stuff that’s vegetarian. She’s going to try and get me to go vegan and then…raw. Raw! You only eat things you don’t cook! What’s up with that? I read an article that said if you do it right it’s actually healthy, but really? Raw? Not so sure about that one. But…whatever. If I’ve made it this far I guess I can go a little more.
Her first year of college is behind her and she’s headed home and I’m happy about that. We have a whole summer of fun planned. Riding Rainbow, eating raw stuff, watching lots of healthy food documentaries she’s discovered. WooHoo, the fun never ends.
We’re going to stop on the way there to have dinner with our other college girl in San Francisco! Can’t wait to have a nice pleasant dinner with her and hopefully breakfast Saturday morning. I wish we could spend more time with her, but she lives full time in San Francisco.
Here’s to summer and more healthy living! And here’s to hugging both my beautiful college girls in the same day!


Monday – Exercise – 20 minutes; 1.1 miles

  • Breakfast – An orange, 1 hardboiled egg with peppers, onions and avocado (YUM) and 1 cup of iced oolong tea with honey.
  • AM Snack – too busy, skipped it today
  • Lunch – brown rice in vodka sauce
  • PM Snack – way too much popcorn  
  • Dinner – 2 small breakfast burritos. Refried beans, scrambled eggs, tofu, tiny bit of cheese, sour cream and avocado. (I love it when my neighbors avocados get ripe and fall into my yard!)
