Stay fit, stay vegan, and stay fine!

      My new week started out great, I got ready to go to yoga. Fortunately, it was a very beautiful day Monday, so I was able to make it to the gym.       I wore a thrifted outfit with a long sleeve grey lace Victoria Secret top, and then a red longer tank, over top, and then my cute porcupine tank top that says free hugs. Then I wore the Luluroe forest creature leggings I thrifted from Goodwill last week, my leopard print boots I thrifted many years ago. The boots are not vegan.       Unfortunately, I don't think I will stop wearing my thrifted wool until I move to Florida. Oregon is just too damn cold. I also wore a recently thrifted unique copper colored necklace with a chain and metal feathers.      I am experiencing just a little pain from doing more yoga, but I've progressed with improved stamina and flexibility, so it's worth it.      For dinner, I had a meal prep of my cashew teriyaki cauliflower.

            My Monday morning started out great and I woke up early and had a fun yoga work out!      I also made some blueberry orange protein bread using a recipe in this berry lover's cookbook.      I made a few adjustments in order to make it vegan and I used almonds instead of pecans since I didn't have pecans.          I also added some hemp protein powder to give it a bit more protein.          The addition of the hemp protein didn't impair the flavor at all, and it was very good especially served with tea.     Blueberry Orange Protein Bread   Ingredients:      1/2 cup vegan butter      3/4 cup sugar      2 tbsp flax seed meal      6 tbsp water      2 cups flour      2 tsp baking powder      1 tsp cinnamon      4 tbsp hemp protein powder      2 orange peels grated.      1/2 tsp baking soda      1/2 tsp salt      1/2 tsp ground cloves      the juice of 2 oranges      2 cups blueberries      3/4 cups slivered almonds.   Instructions:      In a small bowl prepare flax e

Begining the new year right, with light and positivity!

       Things have been much better for me this week; I am starting to get back on track from all the holiday stress and my body is showing the progress!          The number on the scale has gone down considerably the past six months with a small peak end of November beginning of December, but I am back on track to health now and focused on bringing more love and positivity in my life.       I hope everyone's Veganuary has started out great and on track, things are always going to get better if you keep doing your best and 2024 is a year for us all to do better for the animals and for ourselves. If you are new to veganism, check out the 10 Weeks to Vegan Challenge for lots of helpful tips and useful information about going vegan.             I had a lot of holiday leftovers to enjoy this week and it was nice to cut back on cooking and dishes. I also learned about some of the health benefits of tomato paste and that it is loaded with antioxidants and makes a great little snack a co
