Sounds like your both on the ball in doing something about weight loss. I hope I can hold out and kill two birds with one stone, meaning lose weight and get my LDL levels to go down.
I have been watching videos online on recipies for vegan foods. I found some really good ones today and hope to try them out. I am using stevia in my coffee for sweetner and it seems to be helping me with my sugar cravings, as I am not as hungry for sweet stuff. This is my third day into reducing the sugar in my diet.
Also, while I like water I get tired of drinking it all the time, but I love juice. Of course juice is filled with sugar, unless you buy it from a health food store for big bucks. So I decided to put a bit of juice in each glass of water I drink. Just enough to add a touch of favor without over doing by drinking just juice, and I like it. A friend who buys hers at the health food stores waters hers down as well to make them last longer.
I have thought about trying some vegan meat substitutes, but not sure if any of them are non-gmo soy, and not sure I would like it anyways.
Not that I don't like meat, but some of it does not seem to agree with me anymore. Other stuff I am allergic too. Ugh!
Otherwise, I stayed home today and rested. The weather was cold and snowy, and I could not get up enough energy to leave the house. I am not ready for winter. I hate heavy coats and having to wear boots. Then comes shoveling the sidewalk so I can get out of the house. But hopefully the winter will pass quickly so I can enjoy my garden again.
Do you feel that way too?![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
