NEW YEAR Welcome 2012. This is going to be quite a journey as I have decided to become a VEGAN. Well, almost vegan as I can't eat dairy because I am lactose intolerent. I will now have to learn to cook all over again.

I arrived at this decision after watching the dvd Fat, Sick and nearly Dead. So, I jumped into this (not the green fast) but I am juicing with greens. I have cut out meat and dairy and I am wondering what to prepare each meal. It is not easy ......... I have been gathering all the recipes I could from my stash and on line. That all takes time and I do have a husband to feed. He is okay with this and takes the green drink, however, he isn't on board with all this yet. He just had a rootbeer float tonight! No, I am not jealous .... I don't like rootbeer and I can't eat ice cream, it makes me sick. But, if he was eating homemade chocolate chip cookies warm out of the oven then YES, then my nose would fall off from the wonderful smells.

I will post my favorite recipes as I go along, with some photos too. I have about 40 pounds to lose and would like to control my type 2 diabetes with diet alone. That also will include some exercise ....... will I ever come to like that, not to mention it 'rains here all the time.' I hope I have lots of good things to report by the end of this year. Right now my stomach is bloated, and I think eating all those beans might have something to do with it. Ugh.

Now that the holidays are over, it is time to focus on ME. I'm tired of being FAT, SICK and Nearly DEAD! So here goes!!!!

Happy New Year 2012, I have a good feeling about you
