Hi all,
I am back to the McDougal way of life after 15 years of wandering in the wilderness. I was Vegan for a whole year and lost a ton, well maybe 25 lbs. but I was looking great, snagged me a man and started putting on the happy weight, the baby weight, the baby #2 and # 3 weight and now I am at the metablolism is so slow I think I'm dead. It is so hard to stick to this with a meat eater and the three little chicken eaters running around the house.
So I took matters into my own hands and jumped on the Mary mini wagon for a week and my goodness I've seen some progress! The scale has actually moved in the negative direction and I am not hungry or craving flesh. I actually bypassed every sample offered to me at Costco today and looked longingly at the huge bags of potatoes,( Alas there is not enough room in the pantry! )
So my problem is I am not accountable to anyone at this point. I think a challenge to stick with the mini say till the end of April would be a good challenge for me, and do do it with others would be great. I will post my meal plan and hopefully this will keep me from finishing the kids food that they leave behind. My poor dog is getting sick of bread crusts and half eaten burritos. So here is to the new year, the rebirth after Easter, and to all of you who join me in this. Thanks, sorry this was so long.
