Finally Back on Track and Back in Life

Oct 17, 2010

 Hi, everyone.  It's been a while since I've written anything.  I had gone through a phase of eating whatever I wanted and not losing weight.  I retreated as many of us do.  I became withdrawn and didn't want to take part in any of life's activities.

I was talking with a girl friend recently and she was sharing with me this great seminar she'd just went to.  The emphasis was on going vegan.  I became very excited and started researching.  I found that there are vegan protein powders, good carbs that have a high protein content, and that I'll be healthier overall if I included more vegetables in my diet.

Well, I decided to try it.  It's been two days (I just turned 40 on the 15th) and i've lost 4 lbs.  I'm allergic to gluten (basically wheat) and casein (basically dairy).  I discovered I never should have been eating whey protein.  So, now I'm investigating other alternatives.  There's so much to learn that I'd just taken for granted I knew.

I'll be in touch to let you know what works and what doesn't.  I'd love to hear from any other vegans out there.
