Wednesday's Weigh In: Week 6

I've lost another pound. There really isn't much to report as of now. Life is just really busy, so Veganstein is not my biggest priority at the moment. I've been drinking a lot of homemade smoothies lately and it just helped me remember how much I like them and how healthy they can be. I don't add sugar to them, just frozen fruit, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, flax seed, and some almond milk- that's it. They're so good and my kids love them too! I'm feeling good too. I'm sure everyone is wondering this, so I'll finally give you the info you want, this diet has helped me become so much more regular, predictable even, this is a first for me. That is a definite benefit!

I've been feeling great! My skin is breaking out a lot though and I have to wonder if it's at all related to this diet. I usually don't have acne or skin problems, but I have had some issues for the past month or so. Of course, it could also be due to the weather changes. The chickpea noodle soup I made this week was super yummy, I just followed a recipe for chicken noodle soup and substituted the chicken broth with vegetable stock and the chicken with chickpeas, delicious! Is it just more or are most vegan meals soups? I'm fine with that, except that 75% of the year where I live it is just not soup weather, thank goodness it's beginning to be cooler now.
