Good news!  I’ve lost twelve pounds and two inches from my waist.  I’m happy with the result and excited to continue.  I’ve also signed up for Beachbody through the challenge to help shed some more of the unhealthy weight from a sedentary lifestyle and mediocre eating habits.

Check out my food porn iff you need some inspiration to get started.  These are some more meals I prepared. I did not post that pasta soup that I thought would be like a Vietnamese Pho but the end result was an super thick sauce over pasta.  The flavor was decent but the look was totally different than what I envisioned.  Getting delicious meals that look appealing too is trial and error.  I blame that pasta on being brown rice pasta lol. Oil-free cooking ain’t no joke, forced me to get mad creative.  If I am able to master African vegan meals oil-free then I will definitely be a cuisine boss for real!

I’ll keep you updated on my progress on a monthly basis.  Thanks for following me on the challenge to a healthier me.

Alright so week three, I am losing weight and feeling awesome.  I got a little bored with the meals I was cooking when I didn’t want anymore beans or simple vegetable dishes but vowed that I would keep up with this lifestyle.  It’s been rewarding so far.  Also I am discovering how alert and attuned I am to eating and meal preparations.  All in all I am having fun deciding what to cook next.  I am also deciding when will I carve out time to exercise regularly.

This is a breakfast tortilla I made this morning.

You may have wondered what have I been eating.  I’ve been eating fruit, rolled oats, hearty soups, bean stews, rice and beans, veggies on sprouted grains tortillas and green smoothies to say the least.

I challenge you to go vegan for seven days and tell me about your experiences.
