Feeling optimistic


I was invited to have some pizza today.  I politely refused.  My friend asked "are you still a Lenten vegan?"  Yes, I am.  Day 3.  I just had a veggie sandwich with Nayonaise.  It was good.  I am feeling a little more hopeful that this is do-able.  I got some almond milk last night.  The woman who was checking me out (my groceries, I mean) said that she and her husband drink almond milk.  I asked: "vegan?" She answered: "my husband is.  I'm trying to be..."  I wondered aloud: "have you lost any weight?"  She replied "15 pounds."  Well.  Fifteen.  My resolve to give veganism a go just got a serious boost. 

 Today, I am not only still living the vegan way of life, I'm back to tracking.  Wow, a tablespoon of Nayonaise is only one point!  That's exciting!  (We WW vegans are easily amused.)  Jeepers, with most veggies and fruits at zero points, this could really be interesting!  Hmmm... I recall a cheeseless pizza I loved, back in my omnivorian days.  It's delicious.  It's legal!  You don't even miss the cheese.  I could have it right now!  By golly, I just might do that!  I think I need to take a drive...

Try it, you'll like it!
