Why, hello there!

Good afternoon, my lovely readers!
I thought you'd all be tickled to hear that I'm back in New Jersey and back online.
Where have I been? Well, James and I went to work at a camp for Aspergers, high-functioning autism, and ADHD kids in Zirconia, NC--Talisman Camp! It was my third summer and James' first. Once again, it was awesome! James got to see me in action with the kids and he got to learn why I really just don't like kids. Hahahaha!
Now you see, it was camp... food was... lacking in veggies.
I'll say it: I. Miss. Veggies!
And, I gotta admit... carb, carb, protein, carb was making me feel ill.

So, James and I decided that we are going back to 95% vegan lifestyles again.
95%? Why not go all the way?
Well, for a few reasons: 1) soy milk is ridiculously expensive, 2) the occasional cheeseburger won't undo everything, 3) cheese on the rare occasion would be nice, and 4) because that's the way we want it.

We saw after our experimental vegan month how much better we looked and felt (and, hey, I lost quite a bit of weight--no complaints here). And even with the constant exercising we did while working at camp, we still didn't feel as good as we had on our vegan diet.
So, ta da! We're doing this "vega-tarian" kind of diet. And now that we have a blender, we can start doing smoothies! Mmmmmm... thanks Shannon!
