I want to live

I want to live with an open heart... I love that little interlude by India.Arie. Those few words say so much. That's how I feel....life can seem to get so stressful....but I listen to that song...and I reapeat that I want to live with an open heart and I feel a little better....

Being a convenient vegan

Being a vegan is not something you just do. It is a lifestyle change and must be a decision that you can't take lightly. I tried veganism because I wanted to lose weight. I do a 90 day cleanse and lost 30lbs!!! Yes!!!.....only to gain it back again because I started eating badly again. Not just because I added meat back into my diet, but because I ate badly. Too much sugary foods, fried foods.... Bad stuff that tasted good....and I looove French fries!! But I am going to be 40 in two weeks...and I want to live. If I keep eating this way I think that I am going to die. I am not ready to die. I have decided to try convenient veganism again. What is convenient veganism you ask. Well, I will not eat meat. Simple. But if there is something that I want, I will not deny myself. I will not eat if I am not hungry either. But if I have not eaten meat for months and one day I see a piece of chicken I'd like to try or my daughter wants me to taste her ice cream....then I will. Simple and convenient...get it? My starting weight is 182. Yes, and I will be losing it slowly and without being hungry....because I want to live...

Musings of a convenient Vegan...

I am not sure what to call myself. I try hard to eat 100% Vegan. Sometimes without knowing it, I eat (yuck) something from an animal!!!! I went a function last night and ate I spoonful of grits. They tasted funny...I asked was there milk in them....they said yes..lesson:

Ask before you eat!!!!!


Lol....

Go home then.....

So....i'm at his house.  I had a gig last night got back at almost 4 am so I stayed at his place.  I brought my tea I drink and I want to heat it up.  I say do you have a pot?  He says can you heat it in the microwave?  I says I'm trying not to use the microwave.....if you have a pot I will get it and clean it and put it back.  He says....well sounds like you need to go home then.  Made me feel bad for a second....but I love myself and i  can handle it......he can be such a bear :(
