...oops, I cheated and worked out yesterday... sorry. I know we were suppose to be on break. Anywho. A few days ago, I was lying in my bed (after eating a greasy-yummy sandwich and fries:) and I ran my hand across my tummy... and wow, I realized that I was developing something under my tummy... could it be a glorious six pack? (well, a two pack so far). Maybe something glorious is happening, so you see way I was eager to work out... I didn't want to lose that... plus, I kinda missed working out. Even though it can be boring at times. (I so contradict myself) And then concentrating on my daily intake, whew. It's hard work!
Ah well, it's time to change up our work out plan. (And again postpone the detox cleanse, I just want your body to be use to a steady workout, before ya detox, ok.)
To be continued...

Okay, I thought about it, I'm not focused!
Take the rest of this week off.
We start fresh, 2/21/11...

Pondering on a wonderful day...
...here I sit drinking a 20 year old Tawny Port and eating chocolate. Yes, I'm pre-gaming at my place. Well an adult form of pre-gaming...we call it an aperitif... when it's sounds fancy it takes a little away from the fact that we're drinking at home alone, before going out to drink later with friends.
Anyway, I had a good day off so far. I banged out some laundry, had an acupuncture experience, met a sweet doggie named Jackson (we must meet again, and wrestle:), ate Greek, had a great nap.... and wow... it's been an all too pleasing day off, so far.
No worries in life. Just wondering where am I going with this blog! Tomorrow, I will post our next move. Peace & Thanks for coming along...

P.S.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Love, Cheesecake Pouch.
Oh, P.P.S.
Don't start "the cleanse" today. Once again, postpone til next week (2/21/11).
Veganism was a cleanse within itself, if we do another cleanse ontop of that we will surely waste away... and we don't want that.... right?
peace.

Sad for meat.
Well, it's all over. Goodbye to the vegan challenge. It was interesting and it was a challenge:) Though I started out strong, with my fruits, my vegetable rolls, my juices, and my veggie burgers with spinach and sauteed mushrooms... Mmmmm. Eating meat or other products from animals plagued my mind. Hardcore!
Then I hit a wall on Friday, a wall of nothingness! I wasn't hungry, I just felt empty inside (because I was...) I was sad for meat. But, I wasn't sure if I was sad for the animal or sad that I wasn't eating it. I think it was a little bit of both.
On Saturday and Sunday, I didn't really think about it as much, and I continued my veganism (even after others dropped out of the challenge) in silence. I had a moment of clarity and I felt great accomplishment. I could continue on with veganism for another week if i wanted to, but I know in my heart... that's just not me. And at midnight on Sunday I had one shrimp dumpling.
peace out.

Eating like a true vegan.
:smile:
Saturday when I was asked to do this vegan challenge I immediately thought of my favorite stinky cheese. And then I remembered that my friend Stella invited me to restaurant week in Jersey City the following week. Ahhh, I can't be vegan in a delicious restaurant, full of delicious goodness, I thought.
So, I declined the vegan challenge invitation.
And 10 minutes later I accepted, because... I love a good challenge (I think that's my theme for 2011.)
Ah well, I thought I would just not go to restaurant week. But no, that's a challenge within itself, just being around all of that non-vegan food. My friends picked a Japanese restaurant, easy, awesome. So I thought. Even though the menu had a few vegetarian items I still found myself gazing at the California Rolls, and the Shrimp Shumai, and the seared tuna, and the pork dumplings, and beef teriyaki, and ugh... The absolute worst part of it was my friends talking about what they were gonna get. And then when the lovely smelling feast came out they of course shared with each other, passing that goodness back and forth. And making delicious comments, that I could taste with my mind. And the ultimate worst was dessert, who gets dessert! Ice Cream, I scream, but only in my mind. But I survived. With my salad, edamame, asparagus rolls, avocado rolls, and cucumber rolls. yum. And for dessert I had a port (which was chilled, why, they better ask somebody...).
Thanks for dinning girls, when this week is over we have to all get together again... at a steakhouse!
Anyway, I'm so proud of myself! I ate like a true vegan.
peace.

Naked = Vegan
Dear blog
I am spiraling out of control. I didn't get to go vegan food shopping, so I accidentally starved myself all day, I'm too afraid to workout because veganism has made me weak... okay the latter is complete bs. But do take your workouts slow. Being a vegan is no joke, do extensive research and know what foods you need to fuel your body. Save the extreme workout for next week. (I'm not saying that you can't be vegan and do an extreme workout. I'm just saying for us vegan beginners... take it slow, I starved myself by accident, remember).
So Monday, I ate a Macrobar (this food bar is organic, vegan, and macrobiotic), I think it had dates in it... uh... yummy? Not. They have other flavors like cashew butter, chocolate crunch, banana-almond. (check previous posts for website info.)
I had H2O and then later I had a Naked fruit drink, yes Naked is vegan.
Later that night I went to *Cancun, drank Coronas and Patron, while listening and dancing Bachata (a type of music/dance originated in the DR), and speaking mucho Espanol, whew. What fun! *Oh, Cancun is a bar near me. All that on an empty stomach, I was blitzed and needed food immediately! So, of course in the theme of things we went to a Mexican restaurant. I had beans and rice :( I wanted chicken tacos :( and flautas de pollo :(
peace.
