Day6,7- Beans, Fake Meat and Dirt
So this morning I was craving something really heavy..since i dont have access to an elephant, and i cant eat meat, I settled for pancakes.....turns out, pancake batter...not vegan friendly. Crap. To the interwebs I went to get an idea. So there I am, craving pancakes. I check the pantry. Flour, vegetable oil, unrefined sugar, cinammon and almond milk. HOLY CRAP! I am seriously never going back to pancake mix.....GUACALA, these pancakes were the bomb.com, so rich and delicious, and they didn't even have dairy in them. Im sure they weren't healthy, but screw it, I did p90x the day before like a champ. The vegan sausage was...interesting. Not bad, but not sausage. For lunch that was something else. Boca Chikin patty on whole wheat bread with the Nayonaise. Not bad....it isnt mayo but its also not Miracle whip. It satisfied my appetite.
I wanted to work out today but frankly i get tired of monotonous exercise videos and running is hard on a 340 pound guy (yes ive lost 10 pounds) So i decided to take out the ol mongoose. Called Jeff up and went mountain biking, using the term loosely since there arent any mountains in a 300 mile radius. It was great. Just getting in to the woods and breathing in the polluted Dallas air...was life changing. Beats sitting at home watching Harlem Shake videos. "CON LOS TERRORISTAS".
Hungry and tired from our almost 2 hour fail in the woods i get home to the smell of one of my favorite Mexican comfort foods...Carne con Chile...delicious but hands off. Pork is tasty but its probably the reason why my uric acid is through the roof, so run off Wilber, I will no longer eat you my friend. On the other hand, the big ol' Olla de Frijoles my mom made was calling my name. Little hot sauce and 2 bowls later I am sitting here with my butt cheeks in pain from the bike ride writing this blog.
So far so good. I am looking forward to what is ahead.

Day 4,5- weekend extravaganza
So far so good on this little quest of mine. I decided to bust out my old foe this weekend. The scale....i hate that sonofabeetch. So far 6 pounds. Now i know its probably all water weight but i've noticed something since i cut out meat and dairy. Now I apologize for the explicit content that I am about to lay out on this blog of mine. The bathroom and I are close homies. I love to triple d it. (dookieying with digital device)But man....the ol' porcelain throne and I have had a more intimate relationship these past few days. Visiting it more often has evolved our relationship from homies to BFFs. So that's probably where the six pounds went. Down the drain. Enough of the toilet talk. The weekend is usually the go out, drink something, eat a shit ton of food for me. So I was preparing myself for it. Saturday I had class. ( I am trying to become a teacher and I hope that by May i will be one) Class was fine, since i had muh coffee. Soy milk is really good with coffee since it really doesn't take that much of the coffee flavor away. By the time i was out, i was starving. Thankfully my beautiful lady has a big ol' salad waiting for me. Spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, seeds,tomatoes, etc. It was delish and extremely filling. As we tried to figure out what to do, we called our buddies Jeff and Viet. Viet was changing his seats out in his car from a previous weekend where alcohol and potato chips didn't mix...not going in to detail because my dookie talk is enough gross crap for one day. Asian cuisine i believe is going to be my good friend. We went to a Pho restaurant.....I LOVE PHO....but the broth has beef in it...=( So just when i was going to give up and just order the tofu rolls.....I kept reading the menu. Buddha's delight. Rice, tofu, a ton of veggies and Sriracha. SOLD! Yummy Yummy Yummy. Pics up later. A night of karaoke and like 10 sticks celery created a great Saturday night. Sunday was awesome as well. Waking up at noon is killer since i hardly ever get to do it. Met up with Jeff and went to one of the only Vegan restaurants in Dallas....i live in BBQ heaven...not good if you cant eat that =( Spirals Diner is awesome, has Sketti and Meatballs, and delicious vegan nachos. Jeff...who is a self proclaimed nacho connoisseur, said they were not bad at all for nachos that did not have any real cheese or meat. Good stuff. I want to finish by thanking a really cool Reddit community. R/Vegan is awesome. I posted a link to my blog and every single person that commented gave me sound advice and great websites with many great recipes. I recommend watching "Forks over Knifes" great film. So it continues. Now off to eat some hummus. Comment/ Haterade below. Keep it 100!
