Fasting Fam, I’m still fasting, but only by accident. I love making and eating vegan food but most of my food is much less processed now so it is a lot of meal prep and planning ahead and quite honestly I’m just lazy, so it’s better for me to eat two large yummy meals made with love, and maybe a protein ice cream made in the Ninja Creami like tonight.

Today I had a bean burrito at the regular place my friend and I go to a couple of Sundays a month, and I had it sans cheese and with guacamole and extra lettuce. I’m pretty sure their beans are vegan but do use some kind of vegetable lard (ug!) as I recall. They have great salsa and wonderful people there, great atmosphere, but honestly I don’t go there for the food and ate maybe 2/3 of it at the most.

I went downtown and got over 9K steps and 11 flights of stairs and was pretty darned hungry after all that and had a large green smoothie with loads of fruit, veg, and a scoop of vegan protein and a few squirts of sugar free syrup and it was yummy in spite of some chalkiness from the protein powder and I know my body likes all the fiber.

I’ve dropped a few pounds without logging food, my guess is that plant based food overall has way less fat than animal products do, and all the fruit and veg help scrub out the insides. I’m glad that fiber is getting more attention these days because while protein is important, I personally feel that it has been overhyped.

Tomorrow’s menu:
coffee with vegan Starbucks creamer
avocado tomato toast w/nooch and everything bagel seasoning + blackberries
1/2 large baked potato with pesto, white cheese I still have on hand, tomato + ?
air fried marinated tofu and brussels sprouts
pasta sauce w/lentils + grain mix + roasted beets + yam w/hot honey and nuts
protein ice cream if needed 🙂

Exercise: set up sensors to use Zwift free trial (cycling)
walk at lunch (it’s perfect here right now)

Hope everyone has a great week with their goals!
