Jerry & I have renewed our commitment to eating well, and are currently 4 days into being 100% vegan and cooking healthy meals at home. We’re McDougall-ing, and I think it’s safe to say we are both already feeling a spring in our step. I sleep better at night, and we’re both jazzed about getting our eating back on track. So far we’ve made a garlic lentil stew, a delicious 15-Bean soup, a sweet & spicy curried chickpea concoction, and on tonight’s menu, bean enchiladas. Yum!
At some point we realized that as much as we love cheese and chocolate, it isn’t fun anymore when you don’t feel good about yourself and the way you look. Plus, all our toiling away at the gym, on tracks & treadmills, yoga mats & pavement, just didn’t add up when we were throwing all the hard work out the window by sitting down in front of huge unhealthy meals on an all-too-regular basis. So, we are upholding a resolution already. And helping each other through the temptations along the way. Having a partner in crime always helps – especially when you are trying to avoid crimes in the kitchen or grocery store aisles.
You guys ROCK! I would LOOVE to go vegan like you two, but like you said, it helps to have a partner in crime. Unfortunately, the two big boys in our house are waaaay to in love with their meat and cheese. It’ll happen on day, I’m sure. Keep updating — you’re an inspiration. <3
Rock on. I’m psyched to get back on the bike, too.
Oh, and here are some great reminders from Dr. McDougall.
