NO Meat! :)

So as many of you may know, Lent is coming up! Some of you may choose to give up things like ice cream, candy, chocolate, soda etc...well, since I don't really partake in any of those things, I decided to do a little bit of research and go for another food that might be beneficial to skip out on for a while. After hearing about the documentary "Forks Over Knives", which promotes a "plant based diet" ( basically nothing coming from an animal), I decided a would try it with some stipulations. I am going to allow myself nonfat dairy products including yogurt and some cheeses, and an occasional milk. I am also going to allow myself fish if I feel myself REALLY dragging...I feel as though this is a very attainable and realistic goal for lent, and a very sustainable goal for the future. Who knows, maybe I will continue it after the 40 days is over! Wish me luck! :)

What the heck...

What the heck....

I'm gonna start writing here again.

I don't really know why I stopped. Maybe I thought it was too time consuming. Truth is, most of the day, I walk around thinking of my life like a blog. I like to think of my life as a series of Facebook statuses...I know..geeky right? But isn't that what social networking has trained us into doing? Thinking of our lives as a bunch of witty updates on our lives? It's certainly got me trained...anyway, I am going to try to keep this blog more focused on my weight loss journey and my progress, and maybe it will help more people in the future! I am going to change it up a bit, make it a little bit more informative, there will be some stories, some tips, some failures, some trials....a little bit of everything! Stay tuned I know I am excited! Until tomorrow!
