My Healthy Journey for Better Living

Today I took the time and money and invested in my food future. I have decided to go vegan and gluten free. Gluten free is for Gluten Sensitivity and Vegan is because I have horrible stomach issues, and I want to be  healthier in the ling run. Shopping for unhealthy food was hard enough, being strict and cautious is tedious, but I am sure it will be worth it in the end. I just need to start seeing results, then I won't complain anymore about the time.

I was vegetarian for over 4 years, and when I went back to a "normal" diet, I gained 20 pounds. I bought things that I have never eaten or tried before, ready to expand my taste buds horizons. Today, I tried Tahini for the first time. It is a paste/butter made from seaseme seeds. I used it on a vegan sheapards pie to add a little extra flavor and it was pretty good.

I also got a workout in at Planet Fitness. I had my youngest son with me and we did a complete body workout. Usually I feel energize after the workout but this morning I just felt tired, BUT I did not stop moving or take a nap today. All positives and moves in the right direction!

I look forward to sharing recipes, workouts, and ideas with everyone! If you ahve any questions you can email me at [email protected]
