Day 6: Good reads, smelly men, and red robin

So today i believe i had one of my toughest moments going out to dinner. I went to one of my alltime favorite burger places, Red Robin. Yeah i ordered a drink, that yes had dairy in it but hey, it happens. anyways today while at the restaurant's, i had totally picked out what burger i was going to get and so on but i changed my mind, instead i got the soup and salad combo, with balsamic vinegar and chicken tortilla, yes chicken but i got the cheese and sour cream not on top of the soup, but the salad did have cheese on it so i had to pick around it which sucked because red robins balsamic is actually pretty good lol.
So that salad isn't exactly what i got but i got a small dinner salad and a cup of soup.



-Is it just me but being vegan makes it very hard to go to a restaurant and get something to eat, i feel like in the past couple days it has been very difficult. Today i was on campus and i had an hour break between classes so i decided to go to the Glenwood and see if the really lived up to their hippy veggie ways, so i order my food and first of all they are out of veggie burgers which sucked because i am sorry but boca burgers not really my favorite in the world, anyways. they brought out my food and it had cheese on it, when i even talked to the server about wanting to know about their vegan options lame. but..... all and all i do believe that my dining out has been more sucessful then i thought it was going to be because i think i am more prepaired for the vegan thing ya know.




Tuesday's Diet:

-Fruit bowl for lunch(Banana, Raspberries, Strawberry and melon)
-Boca Burger on a whole wheat bun for lunch with a side of melon
-I did have 1/4 of a red bull this morning because i had a test and i like to have caffein before a test because it makes me more alert.
-Lots of water
-Salad with balsamic
-Tortilla soup, trying to make it the least amount of dairy i can
-4 Red robin french fries
-tofu futtie bar (god those are to die for)
-nectorine
-Popcorn(cooked on the stove with some healthy vegan butter on it)
-more water

+ On a side note i did go to the gym today i only got half and hour work out in but still it felt good to just get that half an hour in. i did 35 minutes on the elliptical. (did 15 on one machine but the guy smelled so bad next to me i just had to switch machines lol)


+ Oh and i finished this book today called "Size 12 is Not fat" by Meg Cabot, it is this really cute murder mystery book about this girl who is an ex pop star that is working in a college dorm as an assistant director and she becomes this detective when girls in the dorm start showing up dead. it is a good quick great great for the summer months, a plane ride, or just lying in the sun.

Day 3:Trying new things

So i was thinking the other day about this book that i had read called "Skinny Bitch" about being vegan and how it helps you create a healthier lifestyle and essentially will make you skinny. I had been thinking about it, and totally wanting to re-read this book, but i wasn't able to because i had let my friend borrow this book and i had not gotten it back. so me being me i went and bought another copy of it, i mean i have the cook book "Skinny Bitch in the Kitch" and it was essentially staring at me saying use me use me, but i didn't feel right using it with out re-reading the main book. Well long story short i have recently re-read the book and OMG it has changed my outook on eating and how i buy my groceries, granted it has been less than a week but still it has changed my out look.


I am so proud of my self i haven't eaten meet since Wednesday, i had a little mishap, i went out to the bars and i had the grossest kind of meat one can get, a hot dog from 7 eleven, ha ha what can i say i was drunk and hungry lol. Dairy i think is going to be the hardest thing to take out of my diet because everything and it's mom has dairy in it, i mean eve buying those frozen veggie burgers they generally have milk,.cheese or egg in them and those three things are not vegan friendly. But i am going to try.



Now i know that i have sworn off cafe yumm so many different times i have recently changed my mind because it is the easiest place to get vegan friendly food, you can substitute so many things and make it to your dietary needs it is amazing minus the yumm sauce i don't know what it is but it just tastes nasty it is like baby food and since i used to work there and smell the nasty yumm sauce i am still completely turned away from it. I had it for lunch/breakfast today and it was the perfect hang over cure, a good chilaien zuchini bowl, i know i didn't spell it right but oh was it delicious with a tofu skewer on the side delicious little lunch, for a vegan friendly diet.
