Well,
I made an excellent vegetable pasta dish that was just loaded with nutrients. I can definitely say it was an awesome dinner. Felt so incredibly full after just one bowl.
It consisted of whole wheat, high fiber pasta mixed with steamed kale, roma tomatoes, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, baby zucchini, carrots and broccoli. Quite delicious and pretty easy to make.
I had a very, very vegan day. Super nutritious day actually! I had hot cereal with blueberries, a banana and fresh squeezed orange/apple/mango juice for breakfast. Then, for lunch, I made hummus, spinach and tomato paninis with popcorn, almonds and orange slices on the side. Then for dinner, I made a homemade whole wheat pizza with roasted red peppers, green peppers, pineapples and almond cheese. For dessert, I blended four frozen bananas with a little vanilla extract, some oranges and pineapple chunks. This makes a very awesome ice cream minus the cream and the load of fat! I drank close to a gallon of water today as well. Funny thing is I thought I would be starving but actually felt more than satiated and maybe a little stuffed!

After a series of medical setbacks in the last two years, I have decided to go vegetarian. I’m excited and nervous at the prospect, but due to the health issues I have had, I’ve decided that a plant-based diet will help repair my body. I will regularly post updates on my progress. I know it will be hard, as I’m addicted to animal proteins, sugar and salt, but I’m going to do it and improve my overall health.
I’ve had a series of food allergies and I got Bell’s Palsy last year. I had a previously unknown caffeine allergy, so I’m pretty much eliminating anything bad for me. That includes sweets, caffeine, etc. I’m going whole grains and foods and pretty much all plant based. No dairy included. Nothing with animal proteins!
I’m combining that with daily exercise of 2 hours and a heck of a lot more sleep. Although I’m in good shape at 15.6% body fat, I weigh 217.6 lbs I definitely want to get down to 190 as I want to do IronMan, some more marathons and other triathlons this year. It’s too hard to do with 27 extra lbs I’ve gotta lug around!
