Day 77... Just a vegan.

I got real hungry last night and went to Ellwood Thompson's for an impromptu dinner after choir rehearsal. I bought a pack of Smart Deli vegetarian Bologna, a pack of vegan American style cheese and a bag of sea salt soy crisps... And I ate. It was good. I made little soy crisp sandwiches.

This morning I made two soy milk banana shakes. Just add vanilla soy milk and a banana in a blender and 'cream' it to death on whatever setting works best. Then drink. Awesome.


Last night I made three smoothies for today. Each smoothie has a serving of fruit, two servings of silk tofu, a third of a banana and some soy milk. They were a light pink last night when I made them, but I think the banana makes them gray by morning. They taste kind of gray too. Not as good (or as decadent) as a soy banana shake.


I also started on some low sodium V8 juice. I bought two cases of the stuff at Sam's Club. I'll drink at least three cans a day. Seems like a good thing to do.


And next Saturday I will attend one of many of our town's farmer's markets with a friend, whom I will help buy up his share of organic veggies at his cooperative farming club. I will supplement my smoothies and veggie juices with fresh organic veggies as well.


I just don't want to cook anymore. What can I say. I'm a guy, okay?

I can just imagine...soy crisp crumbs and little flecks of vegan deli slices all over the couch. Sounds like a good meal.

I know what you mean about cooking. When I first started my blog, I was making some elaborate meals. At one point it became this strange organism by itself and I was starting to make these ambitious meals only so that I could have a nice picture for my blog. Well I haven't posted since late June now, and I've been easing up on the food although I still spend a ton of time in the kitchen. But this time, I feel it's for me, not for my blog.

I stop by every once in a while to see how you're doing. Sounds like you're doing great. You have lost around 50 pounds in just over 2 months. That's amazing!

Are you still going raw later this year? I have thought about adding more raw recipes into my diet to see if I feel any different, but I'm not sure yet. I loooooove cooked foods.

Keep up the good work!
