I found my frozen yogurt replacement! (I think!)

Oh My Goodness! During this Vegan diet I have discovered new non-dairy, non-egg, non-animal protein alternatives which are healthy and tasty as well! Today I was walking through Vons just looking for alternatives to my frozen yogurt craving and I found Almond Dream Bites! YUMMY! I have had a hard time in the past finding an alternative to Ice Cream and Frozen yogurt, but I think I finally found it! Try it...You'll love it! The next on the agenda is the Soy Dream Frozen Dessert! I hope I can replace my yogurt with it, because I really want to continue with my dairy free lifestyle!

Well folks...I've been eating clean (no dairy, sugar, salt, fish, etc...) for the last 14 days. I have one more week to go! (Pray for me) Only salads, fruits, water, veggie meat, quinoa<~(that grain has all the essential amino acids for muscle building!) nuts, grains, etc... have been in my system and I have to tell you...I FEEL GREAT! I still have energy, I still am able to run around town and through the gyms like a madman, teaching my classes, taking classes and doing my "fitness" thing! I have only been a Lacto-Ovo-Pesco Vegetarian and it feels great being a Vegan, even if it is just for the month. But, I have been really feeling that I can incorporate this vegan diet for part of the week, while going back to my fish (mostly salmon) the rest of the week. I have lost bodyfat, a little weight and I have loads of energy!

Give it a try! Go to Whole Foods, Henry's, Fresh and Easy, Trader Joe's and get some Brown Rice, Veggie meat, almond Milk, Quinoa, almond butter, etc... and give it a try! If you really want to see a change in your body and mind cut "white" products! Go a week without (added) sugar, salt, white rice, white potatoes, white pasta eggs. Eat raw honey, Sea salt, Brown rice, Red Potatoes, Wheat Pasta, more salad and fruits! Trust me, you will notice a differences from your energy to your bowel movements! (Lol) Really! Try it and get back with me about your experiences!

Peace and Health,

28 Days to "CHANGE"

Research has proven that it takes 28 days to form a habit. Soooo...join me and lets work on forming a habit. Stop smoking, drinking, eating late at night, unhealthy snacking, binge eating, not exercising, etc... I'm not eating bread, added sugar, meat (including fish) or dairy for the next 28 (maybe more ) days. I'm also doing 100 pushups a day (in addition to my regular workouts) What habits are you going to work on forming in the next 28 days??
