    amy's vegan refried beans

    Magic, you are so good. I am having trouble getting motivated, and I'm watching the weight climb back up. I'm still here and look forward to your posts. I'll be traveling in August, but till then, I will be checking in.

    Thanks so much...but I guess it all came about because I had to do something to combat the pain in my knees.

    Whole Foods, Plant Based Diet and Gluten Free.

    That, along with CBD* oil is working to give me pain free days. I just have to keep doing it...combination of the two is working.

    Pain makes one do whatever is necessary, I guess.

    Today:

    3, 16 ounce green juices
    Nectarine
    Plums
    Cherries
    Watermelon
    cucumbers and cherry toms
    carrots


    Trying this for five days. ONLY juice and veggies and fruits.

    Then, maybe...a juice only for five days. People do it for a lot longer...aka Fat Sick and Nearly dead...60 days.

    I have never even made it one day. Got my work cut out for me.

    I need to lose 15 pounds.

    Magic,

    I've decided to stop beating myself up, and just do the best I can for now. At least I've stopped gaining (I'm up 3 lbs.). I will do a serious reboot once I get back from my August travels. It's family, so I'm sure to eat (too) well ;)

    Today:

    Br: V8, All-Bran Bran Buds, blueberries, bananas, skim milk
    Lu: spinach salad with hummus, clementine, and Laughing Cow cheese wedge, ak mak crackers
    Sn: pear/skim mozzarella stick
    Di: mixed green salad with Bolthouse dressing, either sushi or tilapia, Dave's killer thin bread slice, pistachios or clementine

    I'll join you in an August reboot (may even start earlier). I am off at another round of conference-ing. This time for a week. So hard to control what I eat when I'm not in control of what's on the plate! argghh!

    Work Day

    Carrot/Orange
    Joe's Mean Green
    Pineapple
    I think tuna and avocado
    Man, I am out of snacks to take to work...
    Uh, apple I guess

    I ate the spaghetti squash too fast..so good...found a new way of making it:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xKRiF8Fkwk


    I used my counter top oven...so did not heat up the house...however, I did let it go about ten minutes too long...used a Wolfgang Puck pressure oven...so 30 minutes was too long...next time 20 minutes. My squash was just about 2 1/2 pounds.

    This guy has some fun videos on cooking ... do check him out...and Camera Girl!

    Just a note...I am back using Fooducate. I paid the one time fee...I can't remember what it was...maybe $100...not sure....but for a life time. MFP is 49 a year. Much better feedback (like added sugar/vegan/non gmo) on choices there...not as easy to log...but ok.

    Just an FYI in case anyone is interested.
