Because I'm...Erin--Ha! about the noodletarians. Because I'm finding that's what so many lacto-ovo-vegan dishes happen to contain. Also cheese. A lot of cheese. Glad I'm not lactose intolerant (because then I'd have to switch to soy and that's one step away from tofu consumption...ew!). <br /><br />I really want a new pair of running shoes, too. But I've told myself I actually have to START running first...and then we'll look into those.<br /><br />Michelle: Let's see...no McRibs, no caffeine, and constant monitoring of meds & foods? That is WAY more challenging than hauling my butt off the couch and eating less sugar. <br /><br />My hubby is doing good so far. He just wrapped up chemo a couple of weeks ago and has a PET scan test on the 17th. We're hoping he gets an A+ on it.

(Soooo pissed that they have McRib again when I can't even <i>think</i> about eating anything like that)<br /><br />Tofu sucks, in any form. Well ok I've heard the Tofutti is good but I can't say cause I can't bring myself to try it. But it still can't be better than potatoes, c'mon.<br /><br />Best of luck to you! I'm already getting burned out with the food and meds tracking. sigh...<br /><br />You will definitely feel better going the more healthy route. I've been forced to go off caffeine during my ordeal and I gotta say, I actually sleep at night (other than getting up 2x to pee, grrr) and feel more rested & generally... better.<br />:)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052524423418026197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005249090549075026.post-32292611621275379772010-11-04T20:43:26.005-05:002010-11-04T20:43:26.005-05:00Very inspirational.

For instance, I just ate some contraband chocolate, and felt like I deserved it. Ack. <br />When people go vegetarian in our family, we call them noodletarians. <br />I was a bit vegan this summer - way easier to do in warm weather. <br />Up here, right now, it is too cold to abstain from yummy things like cheese, and potatoes (and noodles). <br />I am envious of your running goal as well. I always feel like if I purchase fancy running shoes, my hips and knees will just start enjoying running. But they never, ever, cooperate. <br />Good luck, etc. xocheatymoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328903955238115971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005249090549075026.post-37005122009245871732010-11-01T22:34:58.267-05:002010-11-01T22:34:58.267-05:00Thanks, Wendy!

I will make a concoction containing your most favorite vegetable as one of my first experiments.<br /><br />Val: Expect an email begging for smoothie recipes disguising vegetables! (I hear there's also a book out there called Deceptively Delicious (or something) by Jerry Seinfeld's wife. She bakes spinach brownies. This also sounds like a good experiment to subject my family to!<br /><br />Katie: Doody of all kinds is funny to me. It's a real problem. Especially when I find out I have 1st graders (typically boys) in my class who find doody funny too. We waste a lot of time cracking each other up about doody. <br /><br />And so everybody can just think of me as that doody girl who wants to run a mile.
