Going strong...mostly

I made some delicious totally vegan healthy soup the other day. It had vegetable broth and mushroom broth, potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, cabbage, lentils, salt & pepper, italian seasoning. Just throw all of the chopped up veggies and everything else in a big pot and simmer it. I also made homemade egg-less whole wheat rolls. Mmmm. It was delicious! We have also been making salads pretty much every day. We make a bed of greens, put on top of it some black beans, corn, onions, carrots, celery, salsa, crunched up tortilla chips, small amount of cheese, and small amount of Marie Callendar's Chipotle ranch dressing or Litehouse Jalapeno ranch dressing. It is a delicious southwestern salad that fills you up completely. Eat that at around 4 or 5 pm with a tall glass of water and you will be full all night.

We did have a bad day yesterday. We got Little Caesars on the way home from swim lessons. It was ridiculous. I felt bad, but I also felt like I was going crazy not allowing myself any junky food. I know it has only been a week and a half, but it feels like forever. I decided to only order one large pizza so we would not overeat. I ordered it over the phone and made the mistake of sending Jake inside to pick it up. He walked out with 2 large pizzas and a crazy bread. Yes, it was a better deal because the one pizza was $7 plus tax and they had a deal for 2 large and free crazy bread for $10. I guess my point for not doing the better deal was that we wouldn't be tempted to eat a bunch of it and have to have leftovers in the fridge. Oh well. What's one day, right? I did an extra long and harder workout today and only ate healthy, so I think I made up for it.

I have had a struggle with my sweet tooth, however I have found a healthy option for when I get a hankering. Silk Pure Almond Dark Chocolate Milk. It's delicious and it is totally dairy free. However, it is not delicious right after eating a handful of M&M's. ; ) It's good stuff and helps me not binge on unhealthy chocolatey goodness.

I do this all because, I'm Worth IT!! I'm good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!
