Yes, I caved! I have this awful river of sweet-loving temptation that flows through my veins. I was doing so well ( Mon-Tues) when it hit me on the back of the head and I caved into baking cookies. Luck would have it....I was out of vanilla extract and substituted with almond extract. I also used almond milk rather than cow's milk. Let's just say that they were not exactly what I was hoping for and they are not so tempting now! Saved by the "I-can't-cook" bell again!
The good news....I am out of refined sugar and will not replenish! I also finished "Skinny Bitch." That was one hard read! I honestly had to skim through a lot of the slaughter house part. I realize being a farm gal, what goes on to get meat to my table but this was too much. If you are not a vegan for health reasons alone, do it for humane reasons! I am inching closer. All vegan so far today!
Last soda was Sunday. Not replenishing those either! I am not a soda junkie but one is too many when you consider the chemicals. I actually love water and tea so no real struggle on this one. Coffee...GET-YOUR-MITTS-OFF! No how-no way am I ready to give this one up! Move on to the next item on the list!
Dog and I did our 1.5 mile walk this morning but had to cut our evening walk in half. Started out with a little mist...hat....check! Before long it started to come down harder and less than a mile later we both were soaked and cold. Time for hot tea, snuggie and my two cuddle buddies.
Oh...before I forget! I did watch the DVD sent by BKD of Fast and Furious. Not sure if I can do all that jumping around yet but the instructor is a little hottie and worth watching!! I promise to give my honest assessment of my performance once I get out of the chair and lace up the tennies.
Sounds like three steps forward, and only one step back, so pat yourself on the back!
ReplyDeleteOops! I have egg yolk in my salad dressing! Okay, vegetarian not vegan!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I couldn't get through Skinny Bitch. Maybe I should try again.....
