Kaira's World: 60 Days to Sexy: The Vegan Phase

Ok, so I've just completed the vegan phase of my plan. (If you're just now jumping in & have no idea what I'm talking about, Click Here to read my first post on the subject!)

I'm now at the halfway point & it really seems to have gone by pretty quickly. Two weeks for the cleansing/transitioning phase & another two weeks following (or really trying to follow) a vegan diet plan. Now, although there is a glimmer of light at the end of this "diet tunnel", there is also the daunting realization that I only have around 4 weeks left to reach my goal.

Now, on to the progress report! I started this whole slim down project weighing in at 171 lbs. & if you recall from the previous post, I was able to shed 14 pounds during the cleanse, then 2 more during the beginning of the transition phase. After posting that update, I began to gain some of the weight back, which is completely normal when you have fasted for an extended period of time. Having done the cleanse several times in the past I have come to expect about a 5 lb weight gain to immediately follow this cleanse. This time, however...(sigh), I packed on 10. Then I slapped myself for trying to justify eating french fries, white rice & birthday cake & not exercising everyday.

How did this happen!?! Well... I apparently managed to temporarily misplace that monk-like discipline I spoke of in a previous post & fell COMPLETELY off track. Hey, what can I say other than I'm human & now it's time to reel it back in. So, let's do a little bit of math & try & figure out my current weight situation:

171 - 14 = 157

157 - 2 = 155

155 + 10 = 165

165 - 4 = 161

171 - 161 = 10 lbs down
(Goal) 25lbs - (Loss) 10lbs = 15 to go!
*If I stay on track this is completely doable*

Picture time! Now there isn't much of a change this time around. But considering the weight fluctuation (particularly the gaining part) I'm not upset. 4 more weeks to go!

This picture reflects a 4 lb difference. (157 to 161)

Now, to stay on track for the duration of this program! I will have a much better progress report next time around. I promise (myself). On to Vegetarianism!

& I almost forgot! Well, I did forget...I had to edit this in an hour after publishing the original post. Anyway, here are some of the foods I ate during this phase. Recipes forthcoming :-)
