Day 108 - lots and lots

I've been a bad blogger, lately, and an even worse vegan. Not that I stopped being one, I just become more flexible towards vegetarian these days, but only because of circumstances. That means, lots of eating out when I was happy if there even was a vegetarian choice on the menu. So I've been eating too much cheese. Luckily, so far, no consequences, which hopefully means, I got rid of my milk intolerance at last, because I have been so diligent these past 2 years. And yes, I took almost 2 years to "clean my body".

Just to give you an idea - when I was not cooking I've been eating stuff like: pasta with asparagus, spinach & melted cheese (and no, they could not hold it) or cauliflower soup (tasted suspiciously of mushrooms but I swallowed without complaint), grilled zucchini & young cheese with sicilian tomatoes. Yummi stuff like that.

But when I was cooking, or at least assembling my own food, there have been plenty of huge salads, raw fruit (cherry & peach season!), sandwiches:

stir-fried rice:

and pasta

If I was cooking that meant I ate nothing but fruit or yogurt all day and then dinner at 6pm. Needless to say, I have lost another kilo, I got out my old pre-kilos wardrobe that now fits perfectly (like 7 years old trousers) and went shopping for smaller jeans. I also threw away some of past summer purchases that I don't want to see ever again. Ever. I went from EU 38 to EU 36 for bottoms, and EU 34-36 for tops. I even dug out a beautiful Benetton blouse from my high school partying times (that's 10 years ago!) that I have been having difficulties with all these years and still refused to throw it away, simply because I liked the design so much... I have just washed it clean and it's ready to wear now!

Next week I'm having a yearly medical check-up that I have been doing due to some problems I had, supposedly with kidneys, but nobody knows for sure. I am extremely curious about the results and I hope my diet has been chosen well and I will not get "bad" blood results, and if I do I still have time to re-arrange my diet and include more food that I, sadly, hate, like beets and beans.

My mom is buying a new more powerful juicer and has promised her old one to me, which allows making juice (not smoothies) from apples and cucumbers and carrots, so if I do get it I might concentrate some more on that to get my vitamins (and might even include a beet or two). And let's just not think about where the hell am I going to put the machine. I think I might need to move to the basement, there's no freaking room anymore! :)
