Operation Don't Embarass Yourself in a Bathing Suit begain in a Gap fitting room. Part 2 is me taking drastic measures to 1) Lose some lb's and 2) Drop my cholesterol from it's ridiculous number to something bordering on normal. I'm taking a swing at going vegan for the next month and a half or so - Memorial Day weekend probably. My friend just lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks doing this, so what the hell. It's been 1 1/2 days. It's hard. I'm finding not having dairy being harder than not having meat. I like tea, but I miss my coffee with milk (more like milk & sugar with a splash of coffee). I spent mid-day today roasting a slew of veggies - carrots, parsnips, brussel sprouts, celery root, fennel. Making a vat of brown rice now and cooking up some cabbage and zucchini as well. Here's what I've eaten so far:
Monday
Breakfast - rye toast w/ jam, tea
Lunch - huge salad w/ tons of veggies and beans
Dinner - pizza w/out cheese - dough + pesto + mushrooms + broccoli
Snacks - breadsticks
Tuesday
Breakfast - english muffin w/ jam, tea
Lunch - Hummus, pita, avocado, cucumbers
Dinner - Rice, Veggies (add on chicken for kids & Joe)
Snacks - veggies while I was cooking them today
Still planning to do my Tues & Fri at the gym for 1 hour. That's about all I can manage with my schedule and needed level of sleep. Keeping track of everything on myfitnesspal.com. We'll see how I do!

good for you! I'm feeling a lack of motivation lately for both excercise and cooking. A bad combo for the backside!
Please send leftover veggies my way! I am in need of drastic measures!
