I was having a conversation with my parents yesterday about how much weight Shell has lost since he started the challenge. Then it occurred to me. I forgot to tell you that Shell made it a point to not workout AT ALL during his 30 day challenge. He wants to see the direct relationship between diet on his weight and blood lipids. And no, I am not going to reveal how much weight he has lost until after the 30 days. So just know that yes, he has lost weight, and he has not had any cravings for meat or felt hungry.
Breakfast: The Usual Maple Oats w/ 1/2 whole grain English muffin & PB
Lunch:
I must make a confession. Yesterday morning I was a little annoyed and didn't bring any snacks or lunch to work for Shell. By the time he was past the point of being hungry and realized I didn't have any food for him, he did what any self-respecting carnivore would do to get back at his veg girlfriend... he went to Jack 'n the Box. Lunch was a veggie rice bowl with no chicken and french fries. Stop laughing, Jack! STOP!!! hehe...
Dinner: A Vegan's Paradise
Shell and I went to dinner with my parents for my step-father's birthday. I believe I have mentioned before that both my Mom and my Step-Dad have been "plant-strong" for going on 85 days now... but who's counting? Stay tuned on my blog for their plant story in the upcoming weeks. Anyway, they chose a small, vegan cuisine called "Mary's Secret Garden" in Ventura, which I have been wanting to try for months now. It is a very small (seats about 30 people, small), kind-of hold-in-the-wall looking place tucked away by the beach. Not only was the service outstanding, but the food was probably one of the best meals I have ever had in my entire LIFE! OUTSTANDING. Not only that, but Shell gave it a 10 out of 10 for taste and can't wait to go back. Here's what he had:
