still truckin' along : )

I am 90% vegetarian these days. Can you even say that? I mean, eating some meat or dairy automatically makes you an omnivore, I guess.  What has crept in? Well another family  member makes dinner two to three nights a week now and usually makes at least one meat based dish. I will eat what is made for me, if it is within my taste limits. The meals I make on my nights  are always plant based, I am not eating dairy or eggs, but again if someone makes something with eggs in it, like pancakes for example, I will eat it.

My weight was up and down since the summer but has been stable for three months so while higher than it should be according to my BMI, it is not increasing. My life is increasingly busy, but in good ways, and I am involved in many things these days that are fulfilling and challenging. This is the year I turn 50 and it is already a bellwether year in some ways. I work in two different careers and in one I had a paper accepted for a conference in another part of the country. In my other career I have a solo exhibition in the fall and am very focussed on getting in studio time and working on some big pieces that are just plain time consuming. All good things, but these, along with kids, work and life well, not much time left over to post.

Exercise

Started using EA Sports Active for Wii and am working my way through the 30 day challenge at an Easy work out pace. I will move onto medium and finally the high intensity over the next two 30 day challenges. Nicely paced, my heart rate increases, two days on, one day off and I am enjoying it.

Also started the 21 day vegan  kickstart program and so far so good.
My only goals for January are to eat low fat vegan and follow the exercise program which so far is a nice 15 - 20 minutes so very manageable for me.

New Years Day

Today was the final holiday celebration with relatives. Lunch was bean salad, yams, pickle, scallop potato, and too many shortbread cookies and other sweet desserts.Too many pop in mouth little cookies.

I have been enjoying exercising a modest 20 minutes for two days on one day off.
I am looking forward to the 21 vegan kick start that I joined. Will be writing about it here as I go along.
