Breakfast: Steele cut oats, with sliced almonds, dried cranberries, milk and brown sugar. Lunch: small bean and cheese burrito (from home) trying to decide between leftover morrocan sweet potato stew and a green salad. Dinner: I'm attempting falafels. We will see how that goes.

Dinner tonight, adding spinach. https://www.google.com/amp/www.food.com/amp/recipe/moroccan-sweet-potato-stew-117338

I was running around a lot today. Only had time for a hard boiled egg for breakfast. I had a banana and kiwi as a snack. Lunch was black bean and cheese burritos. Dinner was sharing a little Ceasar's cheese pizza with my kids, and a big bowl of 50/50 greens with lemon juice. I'm still working on the greens, it was not as…

Breakfast: yogurt (homemade, didn't turn out as tart as I like :-/) with a kiwi, some strawberries, and granola. Snack: apple and nuts Lunch: quinoa bowl with diced red bell pepper, cucumber, carrots and onion, feta cheese and balsamic vinaigrette. Side of baby carrots. Dinner: I got a csa box with fennel in it, which I've…

I skipped breakfast before church today because we were running late. Big mistake, because I ended up getting a flat tire on the way. Thankfully there was a pho place across the street from the tire shop- everything else was fast food, no veg options in sight- I got a tofu spring roll and a vegetarian pho bowl (they even…

An apple and peanut butter or a handful of nuts is my got to snack.

I am not good at meal planning usually. But since I went veg last month I make a big batch of either quinoa or mujaddara (lentils and brown rice dish), rice, and bake a few potatoes for the week. I also prep my dry salad toppings (bell peppers, carrrots, cucumber). I work our meals around those staples.

Breakfast: Steel cut oatmeal with cranberries and almonds Lunch: the crusts of my daughter's PB sandwich and we shared a tropical smoothie Dinner: I made tacos with lentil "meat" so delicious. Topped with guacamole, cheese, greens, and plain Greek yogurt.

This black bean burger was delicious. Even my picky husband loved it. http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/spicy-black-bean-burgers-with-chipotle-mayo/

Hello all! My name is Becky, I just decided last week to go flexitarian. Since I made the decision I haven't had any meat- though I still eat dairy and eggs- and so far don't miss it at all. Which is a surprise because I was a die hard carnivore, I mostly made my decision for environmental/general health reasons. So I may…

Mukimo with black beans is my favorite. Mukimo is basically mashed potatoes with spinach and corn mixed in. My boss used to make it and I became immediately addicted.

The korma was delicious though, I added green and red bell peppers, spinach, peas, zucchini, and sweet potato to a Jared sauce from Trader Joe's . Sooo tasty!

Verdict on the seitan: It was fine, good not great. I will probably try a different recipe next time. I'm also fresh off of meat, so that might be a factor in my judgement. I will try it again, with different spices.

I actually attempted seitan for the first time today. It looks right, but I haven't tasted it yet. Just simmered it in veggie broth and tossed it in the fridge for tomorrow. (I'm doing korma tomorrow hopefully it turns out!) The recipe was 6 cups all purpose flour, 2 1/2 cups water, 1 tsp salt, 1tsp onion powder (I…

I thought this was a "the onion" article when I first read it. Unbelievable.

Belle. I read constantly, rarely stop singing and find beauty anywhere. :-)

Yay Zumba!!!

Whatever you do make sure you're under the supervision of a doctor. Withdrawal syptoms of anti-depressants are scary. I hope everything goes well.

Haha! Me too...

It's absolutely not a waste of time. A lot of people lose weight walking. As your endurance improves you can increase speed and duration. Maybe you'll even become a runner someday. But going too fast too soon can result in injury, listen to your body.

On Saturday we do a family hike instead of my usual exercise. I love this new addition to our routine, so many sweet moments.

Nuts and fruit. That's what works for me.

I hate depo. I went on it after my son was born and loved it, until he started solids and stopped needing as much breast milk. I was back down to my high school weight and within six weeks I gained almost all of my pregnancy weight back (30 lbs). I thought my husband had shrunk my clothes, until I stepped on a scale. I've…

Cook at home, and when you do, don't salt anything until you get to the table. You use less salt this way, because it is closer contact with your taste buds.

You look amazing! Great job!

I love the crunch series on Netflix! Especially super slim down. The ten minute solution yoga video is great too. I do the abs and stretching on my "rest days." also, Hulu has a ton of workouts- the shape series is on there.

Wow!!! Just wow. You look great, such an inspiration.

That's awesome! You look fantastic!

I grew up being too skinny and developed some pretty bad habits. After the birth of my son and a ,much regretted, year on depo I am hovering around my end of pregnancy weight. I've tried halfheartedly to lose it before, but I am really having to relearn what food is. I'm not seeing much on the scale yet, but I have been…

That was a very interesting article. Not all of the information was news to me, but the last few tidbits made up for that!
