Veganism?

So almost a week ago I was shopping around at Borders with my little sister, and decided to hit up the health/medicine section for some help with a diet plan. I immediately fell in love with "Skinny Bitch" and picked myself up a copy along with the cookbook ("Skinny Bitch in the Kitch") and an accompanying journal.

Now this may frighten some of you, its an all vegan diet. Along with meat, cheese, dairy, and eggs I've also cut refined sugar and flour out of my diet. I have been hitting the gym at least 3 times a week and cut out all drive-thrus and takeout meals.

Not only do I feel more energized and able to get up and do more, I lost a pound within the first THREE DAYS! Not even a week had passed and my weight had changed! That's serious improvement. I have yet to weigh myself again, but I am very excited with the potential for more weight loss.

My short-term goal is to drop a pant size and loose 20 pounds. I'm going to stick to keeping my goals short and sweet, so I achieve them and dont feel super overwhelmed with a goal like, "loose 50 pounds".

So I'll keep you posted on how this goes and hopefully ill reach my new-years resolution :)
