Hey there,
Unfortunately I am still struggling with keeping on track with my vegan diet while still doing my exercise routine. I'm just not finding that the vegan food is as satisfying as it was was before. :( Sorry I can't lie to you guys. Despite having a wealth of great vegan recipes, the cravings for meat are VERY strong right now. I have been indulging in meat and then beating myself up a bit for not being strong enough to resist.
A couple other issues that may be adding to this dilemma are that I have tried a couple new recipes and they haven't turned out so well. In addition, i have needed a few ingredients for some new recipes and haven't been able to find them locally. It's quite frustrating. Also, work has been a bit busy, lunch time rolls around fast and i am not prepared. therefore takeout wins again. (just to remind some of you, i live on a small island in the Bahamas so there aren't any vegan/vegetarian restaurants and specialty items are not readily available. or if you're lucky enough to find an ingredient this week, it's likely not to be there the next.)
I am willing to take any advice or new recipe suggestions from you guys. Despite my setbacks I will not give up!

Hi guys,
sorry I haven't posted for awhile.
Life got a bit hectic for a minute there....one of the new things that was happening is that I began a new exercise routine (which was long overdue). It was a bit intense at the beginning as I am not used to cardio at 6am 6 days a week but I'm slowly getting used to the new routine.
One thing I am NOT getting used to (at least not quite yet) is my souped up appetite!!! I mean I have been absolutely RAVENOUS!!! AND all the cravings for meat have come back with a vengeance. And I might as well be honest with you, I have not been a very good vegan.
The first week I indulged quite a few times I'm ashamed to say. The 2nd week I was able to get back on track....mostly. BUT I am determined to stick with my convictions to be vegan and also to be completely honest on this blog along my journey.
One thing I have learned in life is that you are not alone. There is always someone who has been there (done that) before.
