Pescatarian Power

 
So about a month or so ago I decided to take the plunge and begin eating fish again!  I wrestled with this decision as I have really enjoyed eating a strictly vegan diet over the past five months, and I do credit a large part of my weight loss on my vegan diet.  However now that I am settled at a good weight for myself I wanted to reintroduce fish into my diet.  Also now that I tend to be eating out more I would like more options as it is still hard to "vegan-ize" most restaurant menus without ending up paying $17.00 for what amounts to a plate of lettuce.  I have probably had 4 or 5 servings of fish within the past month and thankfully have not suffered any ill effects.  I was scared my body might freak out with this addition to my diet, however there were no stomach aches or any other ill effects, thankfully!

I'm still eating vegan about 90% of the time and have really limited eating fish only to the times when I am out, and still make sure to avoid all dairy and other animal products as much as I can (sometimes it sneaks into things, even when you order everything "no butter").  So far so good!

Bad Blogger

Ok, so I am soooooo sorry that I have been a bad blogger and not updating! My bad!  I have been super busy setting up my new place, which is slowly coming along! BTW I am totally obsessed with wall decals, I think I'm going to do a whole post on how awesome they are and how much I love them, especially for apartment living!  I've also been going on a bunch of dates and enjoying my new skinny single life, so that has been fun as well!  I'm holding steady right around 140 lbs and some have said that I'm looking "too skinny" so I think I'm officially done with actively losing weight and am really focusing on just maintaining what I have accomplished!

Maintenance of course means one thing... I get to eat more!  Instead of having a calorie deficit from exercise I get to eat back the calories I burn at the gym, woo hoo! This of course means even more peanut butter and Clif bars (sad but true!).  I know I've mentioned before but I am a serious PB addict, I have a two jar a week habit, is there a PB Addicts Anonymous support group?  Its getting pretty out of control!  I'm also working out at a new gym by my place, and although I miss the comfort and familiarity of my old gym, the new gym is breathing some new life into my workout.  However I hate how the treadmills face the street and not the gym interior, one of my favorite things to do is people watch so unfortunately I can't observe my fellow gym-goers as I run.  Speaking of which I'm about to head to the gym, looking forward to a low-key weekend! Stay cool peeps!
