I've lost 1 pound since last week and, although I'm not fully focused on my weight, I've got to say, I'm happy to see the scale tip in the right direction- even if it is only 1 pound down. This means that since I've begun, I've lost 4 pounds and am 24 pounds away from my goal weight. I'm pretty well on track this week so far as my menu plan goes and since I have a plan, I should be doing great by the end of the week. I'm trying to incorporate flax seed more into our diet here and I have done so successfully so far, adding it to smoothies and oatmeal and today I'm going to try adding a little to my vegan whole wheat bread. I'm exercising regularly, even after being sick last week and over the weekend, and I am seeing my body change a lot from that. I'm doing the Jillian Michaels 30-day Shred and I love it! It's only a 20 minute workout every day, but it's great and after only a couple of weeks of doing it I'm seeing results. I have to return it to the library next week, so we'll see what I end up doing next.
My biggest concern right now is continuing this experiment while on vacation. I'm going to be taking two trips soon, one next weekend and another the following week. We're going to be traveling quite a long distance for one of those trips, which usually means we opt for less healthy food just for the convenience. We'll also be staying with family and I'm always concerned about being a bad house guest- making too many requests outside the hosts' normal routine/diet. I'm sure I'll be fine though, hopefully my husband will keep my in check a little while we're away. I'm planning to make some granola and other snack foods to have on hand while we travel, so that should help somewhat. I'll have to come up with some Veganstein travel tips and post them once I can get it figured out.
