One month as a vegan

Sunday

Well it has been a month and I am down 14 pounds, but more importantly, feeling like a  new person.  I can't remember when I have felt this energized.  I am amazed at the amount of food I am able to eat and still lose weight.

I have read all of the books at the library I can find on the subject and have tried a few good recipes.  One of my favorites so far has been the Veggie Meatloaf - it didn't taste just like the meat version - but I loved the flavors
