Plant base

-
Okay... Okay.

Before I get into the details. Here's my disclaimer. We are not 'Vegan' we are not 'Vegetarians'. We are on a plant based 'diet' for 2 weeks. We're testing the waters.

We've watched a few shows, we've read several stats, and we've done some of our own research, we've heard first hand testimonies.

So, we're trying it out.

Day 3 is almost complete.

I haven't felt bloated. And I have slept SO well.

As soon as this week hits, I will go without alcohol too. So that added in, I think is going to amp up weight loss too. I do know that alcohol sabotages my weight loss. So I will cut that out too.
However, weight loss isn't the goal of trying out plant base dieting. The goal is health. I was to be healthy on the inside as well as looking healthy on the outside.

I can't wait to share results as they come!

Can we talk about friends?

And trying to impress people we don't like? Dave Ramsey has this great quote: "We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like." I don't necessarily do the money part, but a few things have happened in the past month that created a huge "Woah" moment for me! For years, I have wondered why certain neighbors don't ask me and my husband to hang out more. I would get upset to find out there was a gathering that we weren't invited to. Of course, when I do have the chance to talk to these people, I realize that I don't have much in common with them, or we just don't "jive." But still. For years, I have wondered why certain groups of friends gather and hang out, and I wouldn't be invited. Of course, when I did have a chance to gather and hang out, I didn't exactly enjoy myself or feel comfortable. But still. Recently, I realized someone unfriended me on Facebook. Someo...

Inner Fat Girl or Guy. No discrimination.

We all live this life of a 'coin toss' so to speak... Food. Will I eat right today, or not? Donuts... or eggs. Pizza.... or chicken. Hamburger.... or Turkey burger with whole wheat. My personal weakness? Ice Cream & Chips. yes maybe at the same time ... I LOVE ice cream & I love chips. Preferably Rocky Road & BBQ lays chips ( in case you are looking for a birthday gift- and not baked chips... I want the real grease deal .) Friends, I call this my inner fat girl. Which USED to be the outer appearance too. Now she's hidden. It's a daily struggle isn't it? I know I'm not alone in this, so I felt the need to write to reach a larger audience. Comments are made often about the way I eat, and how I exercise, and how I'm doing this or that, and that they cannot do what I do. And I felt a very strong conviction with this. So I prayed. And decided this is what I needed to share. We all start somewhere with this coin toss of what to ea...

Everybody wants to be famous, but.....

Get ready for a LOT of awesome quotes. That's right. People post them, all the time. How many really follow their own posts thoughts though? ( say THAT 10 times fast...just kidding, don't, or do if you really want to ) And I'm not pointing fingers, I'm just as guilty. I have self pity parties. Too often. It's time to grow up and make things happen-faster. I've sat around too long and let things coast, too long. I let others hold me down, because I was upset with how they weren't doing something. Again, time to grow up. Time to take ownership! This is a photo of me- and this is my new motto. We're half way through the year of 2015. And it's never too late to 'begin again'. "Everyone wants to be famous, but no one wants to do the work." It's not mine, I've heard it many times before, and I am unsure of where it originated. But it's irrelevant at this juncture. Because it's not about be 'famous' per ...
