7 weeks down....

Ok, so I've come to the conclusion I'm a really bad blogger.  Yesterday was actually 8 weeks down but I was a little slow blogging about week 7! Before I know it the Wheat Belly will be here!!!!
 
Now on to things that have nothing to do with being vegan...My biggest accomplishment this past week was that I was able to get on the eliptical for the first time since my surgery and my back didn't get worse!  Not sure I could do it everyday with my back but it's a huge step forward. My second big step forward is that I'm starting to be able to walk a little better on my heels. After my 1st surgery I got foot drop on my left foot and it was nice and floppy.  Since my second surgery I've been doing PT and helping get the strength back in it. I know all this seems minor to most people but they were 2 huge accomplishments for me!

Now back to the diet....The first thing I can say is that I had a really great cheat meal this week.  I have a friend who told me about a great Thai place.  After she told me all I could think about was Pad See Ew....So I had some and it was amazing! 

My friend Meghan and I went to whole foods to buy a slice of our favorite Vegan chocolate cake this past weekend.  We found out that they also have Vegan cupcakes and Vegan brownies in addition to the vegan scones and cookies.  We decided to do what any good Vegan would do...try new desserts.  So we got a banana cupcake and a chocolate peanut butter cupcake along with our chocolate cake.  Overall they were all delicious. 

I wish I could say I tried a new recipe this week but all I tried was new food!  I'm planning to make something this coming week but just haven't decided what yet...

Don't forget to check out Meghan's blog...she is supposedly trying to make some Vegan Fried Pickles and should be posting about it soon!
