Do-Si-Do!

Tonight we headed out for an interesting date.

First stop: A local health fair. We had them check our cholesterol and blood sugars. I think we did pretty well. :)

 

 

We also spent some time sharing with others about our adventure moving to a plant-based diet. It's so great to have such a thriving testimony to share. There's just no denying how much our lives have changed for the better by simply changing what we put in our mouths! Just LOOK at us.  There's no denying life is SO much better!!

 

Then we headed over for dinner at Dos Amigos.  Vegan Chili burrito in a whole wheat tortilla. Yum.  The chips were not so smart with the salt and oil. I'll have to make sure they skip those next time.

 

After our sidewalk dinner on a gorgeous fall evening, we headed over for our first square dancing lesson. Oh my, what fun!! The people there were amazingly friendly and fun to be with. We worked hard trying to learn the calls, but spent even more time laughing at ourselves!  By the middle of the evening, we were sweating.  I couldn't believe that we could work that hard learning some basic steps.  I think we're going to really enjoy having such a great way to get out and have fun this winter.

 

We've been getting in our walks in the morning, which is fantastic!  Still going strong with the 6 week plan.  I chopped up some broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots in the food processor the other day. Those are going great on my head of romaine for lunch every day.  I found a great creamy Italian dressing from theprotectivediet.com website. It uses chia seeds to thicken it and make it creamy. Really great flavor, too!

 

All in all, life is great and I'm plugging along. Down a pound so far this week. :)  REALLY close to that 30 pounds down mark. Maybe tomorrow?? Maybe not. Those chips I had at dinner may hold me back a little yet.
