I know it has been a while since my last post but I’ve been
busy! Some of my life updates since the last post include a girls weekend in
Chicago (see business card receive on a night out below), a good friend from
the girls weekend and I simultaneously contracting strep throat, the UM vs.
UMASS football game (go blue), starting a new relationship :) , and oh yeah that little
thing I do to make money (work).
Through all this, it has not been easy to start my whole foods, plant based diet but I think I’ve made a pretty good start. Currently I’d say I’m eating this diet approximately 75% of the time. I’ve had lots and lots of cravings and I haven’t always been able to resist. Some of my cheat foods have included Dairy Queen blizzards, Arby’s, and some cheesy Mexican. Not the best choices I know but I’m just getting started and I was used to eating whatever I felt like before. I was able to resist an Arby’s crazing one day and made salmon and green beans instead (still cheating but healthier at least!). On a better note see some photos of what I have been eating that is on point for my new diet below! The star ingredient for me right now is quinoa, very yummy and healthy!

Cheat Meal: Salmon and green beans
Quinoa w/ broccoli, tomato, black beans, and corn
Quinoa w/ carrots,spinach,mushrooms, onions, and peppers
My next goal is to eliminate giving into my fast food cravings
so that if I do for some reason slip up I am at least making the food myself so it is healthier. I’ll keep you updated on the results! Another
post on what I am eating to come soon!
