Day 9

So I want to share what my husband and I had for dinner last night. Since we have not gone to the grocery store yet, we havent had alot of different food in the house. So dinner last night was kind of an expirament. So we had a few different veggies in the house. I used carrots, chick peas, green beans, onion,corn, and cauliflower.  I boiled the chick peas and mixed everything in a bowl. Now we dont have alot of seasonings in my house. So we had left over meat loaf seasoning from when we ate meat. It really turned out great. I also made mashed potatos with soymilk and garlic salt. We also had spinach with it. I love experimenting with food :) who says you cant have fun cooking!

Day 8

So my hubby and I are a week into our vegan journey. I am so excited. I have completely taken milk out of my life. My hubby still eats cheese and I am completely fine with that. He has done so good and I am very proud of him. So I have lost ten pounds so far! I am so excited! It is such a great day. I am finally getting my self esteem back. I am still very self concious of my body. I have had body issues for a long time. Even when I was skinnier I still felt very self concious. After I met my husband I gained atleast 40lbs. Which is alot of weight. Then I lost my job which made me gain even more weight. I was depressed all the time and never felt good enough.

I feel the best I have in years. I love my life, my marriage is getting better, and I feel like I am worth something. Im thinking about naming this  blog. The big girls journey to vegan. I hope who ever is reading this has a great day! If there is something going on in your life I hope you know things do get better! I have been at rock bottom.

Day 6

So far this week has been going really well. We have been eating vegetarian and vegan. We are slowly making our way to full vegan. It has been a very exciting week this week. We have been doing so well. We have both lost a few punds which is absolutely great! My hubby and I are not the skinnest people in the world. So this is very exciting for us. Our two cats really like veggies too. One likes to eat corn. Which is pretty weird. I will be trying to update the blog more frequently.  I have had a sprained ankle so its been kind of rough. If you have any great meals ideas I would love to hear them. I hope you guys have an amazing day!

Day One Continued

So after waking up late and hubby went to work. I made myself some breakfast. It consisted of ibuprofen ( I have a sprained ankle), oatmeal with almond milk, blackberries, and a banana. I use plain oatmeal the kind in the big containers. So, as I waited for my oatmeal to get ready I pulled out my mini crock pot. It makes enough for my hubby and I. I decided to make veggie soup. Now when I make soup  I throw a little bit of every veggie in the pot. :) I've always done that. Hopefully it makes a good dinner.

Day One

After watching a horrifying video of the meat industry my husband and I have decided to vegan. We are slowly working our way to being completely vegan. Today is the first day of being meat free. I am very happy my husband decided to take this journey with me. Be prepared for alot of pictures :) Thank you so much for viewing our blog and check back for more posts
