Doing the Happy Dance!
I weighed myself this morning and I'm down 1.5 pounds in the past five days. I haven't been down to 172 since before we moved. I really think it's the cheese that's making the biggest difference. I haven't even felt hungry at all. With success like this, I can really see myself staying a vegetarian long-term (for one thing it pisses off parents and in-laws and annoying church ladies which is fun.) I can only imagine how loudly my in-laws will complain when they come out to visit at the end of the month.
mom-in-law: I can't eat that, it's too much CAAAHBS (Boston to American translation: "carbs")
dad-in-law: I eat all the meat I want and I'm not fat (he's not exactly healthy either, you should see how this man eats, it's truly frightening)
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! It'll be fun!
I tried a really easy tofu recipe last night. My whole family ate it and liked it! I cut up a block of tofu into little triangles and browned them in a little canola oil. Then I simmered it in this really good peanut butter sauce. I got the recipe from a book called "This Can't be Tofu!". It was really, really good. Tofu kinda has the consistancy of eggs. It's really bland but if you cook it with a really flavorful sauce or really strong seasonings, it's actually really good. If decided that the only way to really pull this diet off is to like cooking and be a little bit daring.
Here's what I ate yesterday:
B: banana, 1/2 c. oatmeal, 1/2 c. blueberries, 3/4 c. soymilk
L: Orange tofu, 3/4 c. rice, salad (I went to a great little chinese place near my work, it was yummy)
D: Tofu w/ peanut butter sauce, 1/2 c. rice, roasted beets
S: frozen fruit bar

OMG, Kristy, that's hilarious! I knew right off the translation was carbs. I lived in Boston for six months not too long ago, and Keith is from Boston (no accent, though, but he can recognize one in a crowded room). Not too long ago? Who am I kidding? It was TEN years ago!! Arrghhh. How the fuck did that happen? Anyway, kudos on the success of your dieting!
Hugs,
Sean
