I was thinking about this blog and my progress and the impact of the dietary change on my life and my body. I continue to lose weight and would lose more if I avoided some "vegan" goodies that are nothing but empty calories.
Corm tortillas rolled with rice and grilled veggie filling and covered with sauce are good, tortilla chips (the whole bag) NOT SO GOOD. I find a safe bread or cracker product for peanut butter, hummus or other spread and eat the whole bag or box with a bunch of the spread.
I have also experienced a few digestive issues that may be related to eating some hidden dairy/eggs in a food grabbed while out. I am spending a little more time planning to reduce or eliminate the bad or dangerous snacking and see the results of being strictly vegan.
I found this cool blog with lots of food and menu /recipe ideas. I will keep and eye on it and see what I can learn and maybe find some other Vegan athletes and compare notes and ideas.

This seems to be local to my area in Virginia and that is also encouraging and hopeful for finding folks to chat with.
A long time runner, in the football off-season and started for fun after football in the 80's.-became a vegan after a Dairy free experiment- Now I think about running, hiking, gardening and food and try to write about this way of living. Removal of dairy from diet in 2003 was successful for pain reduction and elimination of inflammation. -followed with complete removal of animal products in diet Now keeping track of thoughts , feelings and challenges.
