Month plus

OK I have to start over.

Today I was good though, grapes, banana, pistacyos, soy dogs, tomato soup in a bread bowl.

hilarious last post

Didn't we all know...

Anyway, the point is I have had a few set backs in the vegan world. First of all... honeybutter on green beans at Outback (who knew that's why they were so good)
mussels (again) crab (again)
AND I've been chomping away at those soy burgers held together with alas, eggs. So... it will have to be a strict campaign for the next few weeks. Strict!!!

Sober October

The only way I will be able to survive this crazy busy month is to try very hard to curtail the vino. This will also help with the waist band I assume. So, here's to it. Now don't worry all my friends, I'm not on the wagon, just trying to maintain some semblance of sobriety so that I can do my list...
Pasta salad with veggies and honey dijon
Spaghetti with marinara and soy parmesan
Soy cheese quesadillas
Tacos with beans and rice
Garden burgers with tomatoes, lettuce, and soy mayo
Chicken patties (soy) with lettuce and pickles
Chips and Salsa
Pad Thai (+ one sushi roll so delicious)

It isn't working

Ok, some of my pants fit better. But I have been a slacker at this diet for the past week. So. In honor of the very expensive trip to the store and a new beginning...

Fruit Salad and Coffee
Leftover Warmers with Avocado

Sunday
Breakfast Warmers: potatoes, rice, corn, spinach in a tortilla
Soy Cheese Pizza
Taco salad with lettuce, refried beans, olives, tomatoes, green onions, and avocado

I will not blog about unblogged

It took me 30 minutes to drive home from grad school. It is 5 blocks. I was mad. I went to the Beltway to buy a 40 for the first day of stacey's 40 days of 40. They dont sell40's at this particular store ( but you can buy wine bags scotch cigars and peanuts but no 40s. As I was asking the helpful staff and telling them my wonderful gift idea, I look behind me and ok and behold it is Stacey. The fact we had just texted and were heading to the same party at the same time, the fact we had never seen each other at store EVER in 6 years. As we laughed and my plan of the 40 ruined, we drove to Teri's for the party. At the intersection there is chaos as two dogs jump out and start running around the streets. Quite the adventure!

Grocery Bill

The main problem I've been having of late is the ability to eat out. I have to focus this week on cooking meals, reheating and eating leftovers, and remembering that a good veg burger at home with all the fixins beats anything I can order out. I do get an odd satisfaction of reading all the stuff I can't eat on a menu, but if I leave the house full, then going out won't lead to desperation.

Tonight's plan... vegan mushroom stroganoff for dinner, big salad for lunch.

Breakfast
Cream of wheat made with water, topped with chopped pecans, Tbsp grape nuts and brown sugar. Coffee with creamer *
