Happy Wednesday! Firstly, here's my weekly update on my autumn slim down challenge: I think that taking a break from the scale last week was a great idea for me, and I continued to push forward with eating smaller portions of healthy, delicious food with some indulgences sprinkled in, and working out daily. I don't think I could lose the scale completely, but I think I might ditch the scale for a week or more at a time more often. Since I first talked about wanting to lose 5-10 pounds a little over a month ago, I've lost 5 pounds. I feel great, and want to continue my weight loss efforts for the next couple of weeks to see if I can tone up a bit more and lose another couple of pounds.

It's actually all of my eats from yesterday, and includes a few of my recent food loves: apples, cashews and lentils. Breakfast: chopped apple sprinkled with cinnamon + almond butter + Kashi Go Lean!

This Vegetarian’s Wednesday Eats
Good morning! I'm switching up my day a little and blogging on this Thursday morning, instead of my usual nighttime blog action. First off, in the past couple of days I've made some blog changes I'd like to point out. For one thing, I've updated my recipe page. My recipe list was getting too extensive to be on one page, so the recipe tab you see on my menu bar above is now a drop down list, so you can check out whatever category of recipes you want to look at in separate pages. I think this makes it easier to view. I also have added a "work it out" tab in the menu, which contains links to workout related posts I've written. Feel free to browse. :) Lastly, I also added access to my Instagram on the blog, and it's now on my sidebar under my Twitter feed. I haven't really been too ... [Read More]
