Have just tried Almond milk!...sickly as ****. It had Agave Syrup n bits that got stuck in my throat...so i gave it to my bf
I think im better off with oatmilk unless someone can suggest something else?

[Darby1]

Dark Angel-that sounds awful! I've never tried almond milk, but I guess I always imagined it would taste good (like marzipan!).

Well, today didn't turn out the way I had hoped. My husband had the day off and he was a real pill all day long. He isn't usually, so I'll forgive him, but it just put me off my healthy eating schedule. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

I made seitan again and it turned out better than last time.

Have a great night!

Hey ladies!

Quick update. I'm without a computer so I'll be updating on my phone. With this being the case, I won't have the ability to send individual replies but know that I AM keeping up the absolute best I can.

[Fat Chick B Gone]

Heather - No worries just keep up on the food and exercise!

I liked almond milk okayish when I tried it but generally get vanilla soymilk - I was drinking it long before I went vegan just because I liked it!

PMS is causing some troubles this week both with food control and bloating. Hoping to rein in back in my Friday. It really doesn't seem fair sometimes to deal with this monthly!

[Modjeska]

Good morning!

Jill, there're a few really easy seitan recipes here. You can tweak the seasonings to your taste, or for your purpose. I make one that tastes like pepperoni for pizza.

My husband has decided to set his own weight loss goal, so I have a little extra support at home, which is good because my motivation is out the window. I started a new job that I don't love, so between that and a series of unfortunate events, I'm a little depressed. It's something I battle with, and it comes and goes, so I'll just have to pull myself out of the hole and get on with life...at least until my insurance kicks in Oct 1. Then I'll have a little chemical assistance if I need it.

[iriswhispers]

well i'm back... still a little congested but feeling much better than yesterday, and my bf flew back home this morning.

i want to go to the grocery store soon, so i'm definitely checking out that dill potato salad recipe! i have never tried making my own seitan... seems a bit frightening to me! =) but i guess I gotta expand my horizons.

[JulieJ08]

Glad you're feeling better, Iris!

[THE Heather]

Glad you're feeling better Iris!

Last night I went to a show (concert). I spent most of my time sitting on the stage because if you went to the types of shows I do...well you wouldn't blame me. Lol. I really don't feel like getting a broken nose

My food yesterday was horrible, but I like to think that I did burn some of those calories yesterday running around Deep Ellum. I got to meet my favorite person ever again (the guy in my profile picture if you care to look although that wasn't from last night).

Today I'm making better decisions, which is good. I feel better. I saw 328 on the scale the other day, but I don't dare move my ticker until offical weigh in day...just in case it was a fluke lol.

Sad I know.

There's a vegan restaurant in Ft Worth I'm going to on Friday called Spiral Diner...

www.spiraldiner.com

It's pretty amazing. I brought one of my omnivore friends with me last time I went (without telling her it was vegan...just telling her it was "healthy"). She got a "patty" melt...which of course was completely vegan and loved it! We then got i-scream sundaes with a chocolate chip cookie at the bottom covered with chocolate syrup. It seriously was amazing. So I'm making a trip there on Friday (after weigh in of course!)



I'm on a computer right now, I totally forgot that I can access the internet at work

So I'll be able to keep up a little better than I thought.

Good luck Ladies!

[Dark Angel Jade]

Oh the paaaaaain!
I just bit down on a lentil that was a bit hard and dicsovered i have a new tooth growing through at the back get well presents anyone?

Whats turbo jam? Is it a vegan jam?

My scales werent bad today actually. As long as they keep heading downwards its all good!

Ooo i need to know good vegan eats in the states cos il be going there next summer, either to Camp America or to study for a semester/year. havnt decided yet, but i got a list of uni's to pick from so wanna know the best place to go.

Hope all is better with everyone

mwah mwah
xxxxxxxxxxxx

[iriswhispers]

i thought I was better but making it through the day set me right back... i feel like I shoulda stayed in bed. i'm going to crawl into it very soon. i just finished a bowl of amy's no-chicken soup. it seems like everyone 'round here is sick.

dark angel jade, i don't have any good vegan eateries for you, unfortunately. I just moved from a very "meat and potatoes" kind of town where most people do not know what a vegan is. I have heard to a few veg restaurants in arizona but haven't been able to try any yet. i'll let you know if i do!

[Darby1]

Hey Kids,

Iris-sorry you're still feeling bad. Hopefully it will turn around for you soon.

Jade-let us know what university choices you have and maybe we can help you out. How's your tooth?

THE Heather-the Spiral Diner menu looks amazing! Enjoy and tell us what you ate!

Modjeska-it's so much easier when you have support at home. My husband is no support at all; he lost 25 lbs. by not eating his afternoon snack of chips or a candy bar. That's all he did! So annoying. And this past Monday he came home with vegan onion dip and chips, which is my favorite junk food.

Heather-pms stinks! I never really had a problem with it until the last few years and now I'm like some kind of monster for about a week every month. It sucks getting old!

Well, yesterday I had a bad day. I just felt sorry for myself all day, but today is going to be different! As soon as I'm done here I'm going to put on my shoes, slap on some sunscreen and go for a walk. I'm going to eat a salad for lunch and make a rice bowl with veggies for dinner. I've got less than 3 months till I go on vacation and I'm determined to feel good on it!

Have a great day, everyone!

[THE Heather]

Darby - way to brush yourself off! Just keep on keeping on and keep your head up! You can do this!

[Fat Chick B Gone]

Hey girls! I'm so jealous of your veggie restaurant experiences, I'm going to have to drive up to Asheville soon
