Okay, so last night I really didn't feel like cooking so we went out. It was my first try at eating out since deciding to be a vegan. We went to our favorite Mexican restaurant, Norma's in Garland. It was SO delicious. I got beans and rice, a side salad and an order or guacamole. Oh yes, and their,, to die for corn tortillas. It was really good! I got to have all my favorite stuff! I didn't need the cheese and the meat to enjoy it. It was so good.
This morning I made oatmeal for breakfast and had some fresh fruit. I do need to admit that I really wanted eggs and cheese this morning. Oh how I love a taquito from Whataburger! I am hungry as well. I guess I'll have to get used to that, at least while by body changes and my stomach shrinks. I do feel lighter already. That's for sure. Well, I'm off to figure out what to eat for lunch!

Becoming Vegan...
This week I decided to become a vegan. No, I'm not a hippy, or an animal activist or anything like that. I'm obese, I'm depressed and I'm tired of being tired and in pain.
Over the last few months I've heard stories of people who had become vegan and it had changed their life. They are no longer on anti-depressants, and they've cured other illnesses. Basically they feel great and they look great! So, I thought I'd give it a try!
I started on Tuesday. For dinner I made veggie tacos and they were great!!!!! The best tacos I've ever had! Yesterday I had the leftover tacos for lunch and made a great vegan pasta bake for dinner. Again a very yummy dinner! I tried a whole grain granola for breakfast. I have to admit, I didn't love it, but I'm sure I'll find something I like better very soon! I had the leftover pasta for lunch and it was great! I stopped by the new Whole Foods by my work on my way home and bought some great vegan items. Did you know they have vegan beef and vegan cheese? Who knew?!?! I made chili for dinner. We made Frito pie and it was REALLY good!
I'm only on day two and a half but, so far, I love it! I can't wait to share my favorite recipes and my journey to a new me!!!
