I have OTTB-envy in the worst way (but in a good way) and I LOVE your design blog. <br /><br />It's funny that you should mention how being a vegan feels as I've really noticed a change today. It's easier for me to find things that I like now and I've even discovered some new recipes because of it. I have survived on beans as I'm a big protein person--it makes me less hungry and helps so much with dieting. I love veggies, too, so I'm discovering new ways to combine those, and then a little rice and voila! :) Anyway, I have felt MUCH different today--I woke up earlier and got chores done much faster, had more energy and feel more rested and "clear." If this is what it feels like to be vegan, I might just convert yet!! :)Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651276792780847232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328400195245615907.post-55642320210680086622011-01-07T13:52:28.333-06:002011-01-07T13:52:28.333-06:00Just stumbled on your adorable blog!

Just decided to do it b/c my pants were TIGHT ;)<br />Anyway..the first 3 weeks are the toughest and then it gets so easy and fun, and cheap and SO healthy ..IF u decide to stick with it. My husband is a meat eater but eats Vegan with me during the week to stay trim. <br />Missing meat happens but when u stay w/ Vegan and go back..it tastes like DEAD. Swear to god and I was a huge meat eater. I still cheat every now and again for lamb (I'm Greek, it's in my blood) and sometimes it tastes great and other times, Eyuck.<br />Eat beans! They will fill up and provide more protein than meat. Eat w/ rice and you have a perfect balanced meal. Lentils too <br />Good luck :)Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328400195245615907.post-62908367592903485772011-01-06T11:07:50.342-06:002011-01-06T11:07:50.342-06:00So are you just torturing yourself now, or what?

I keep telling myself that, anyway.<br /><br />Calm, I am only going vegan for a week to support Horses Plus Humane Society who earns money with each person who adopts a vegan lifestyle for a week. See my post on 1/4/11 and feel free to join in if you'd like! I admire you for being a vegetarian--it's something I've considered for a while but have never commited to, mainly due to convenience.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651276792780847232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328400195245615907.post-66960005040027863942011-01-05T13:54:04.189-06:002011-01-05T13:54:04.189-06:00Those Pillsbury ready made crusts are the real dea...Those Pillsbury ready made crusts are the real deal.
