I love summer snacks!

Neglect

...that's all I can call it.

I'm trying to keep up with my eating, so I have neglected this blog. 

Yeah, so I have only been logging my food for 7 days and that is nothing comparable to the neglect I have shown this blog...but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Random

You know, I named this blog random vegan because I intended to put all of my random thoughts on here.  Now I catch myself not posting...not because I forget or have nothing to put, but because I fear that my thoughts may be too random.  LOL!

Eat4Health Summer 2011 Weight Loss Challenge starts today!  Fun fun!

I really want to go to the beach, but I am running out of summer...and apparently the resorts have run out of room, and are super proud of the rooms in July...ugh!  Disney in May = no money...why can't the beach resorts understand that?!

I had a great time at VBS last night with all of the kids.  Lydia did great and had a good time.  Looking forward (sort of) to doing it again tonight...although I am tired!

Work is gearing up for the Big Bang Go Live of the EHR next Tuesday...we are not ready!  LOL!

Blah today

Do not feel good, but have not been eating well. Trying to nourish my body!

Monday again...

...but being able to come home for lunch to eat this and de-stress helps!

Rice and black eyed peas with Chow Chow, green beans, fresh tomatoes and Vidalia onion.

Previous favorite

Food poisoning obtained by my husband when dining there has probably ruined all chances of eating there again! Live and learn!

Ugh

Well, I am still not doing well with blog posting! Consistency is not me. I am still being successful at stalking. Hey...gotta be good at something.

Took the family and then some to Disney last week and have yet to recover. So tired. Work is crazy too, so who knows when I will recover! Lol!

I need to find a plan that I can follow and get back to jogging too! Lots of thoughts and goals, but no follow through. Lol

Ready

So, what are you doing in a couple of hours?

I am going to Disney World!

10 adults and 3 children. Fun times!

Bittersweet...

Yesterday was the last day of school for the kids.

Hard to believe that they are going to be in 5th and 3rd grade?!

4th grade was a rough ride for us this year...I won't go into details on that, but I will say that my 'average' (their terminology) student was tied for 1st place on her CRCT math scores...heck yeah!

2nd grade was a little too easy and I think they did not push them hard enough.

So, one extreme to the other, and hoping for a fantastic summer and a better year next year!

I'm getting old!

Looking forward to....

...this beautiful forecast in Disney!

Confession

I am such a blog stalker!  I love to read them!

I, however, am horrible at keeping up with mine.

So, here's an update:

Funny for today:

My MIL showed up a tad bit early, so I'm running through the house pulling on jeans to find my daughter awake (early) and her (half-asleep) tell me "that was totally worth getting up early for"...what a pal!

Happy Friday...new hair this afternoon...whew!

Blog app from phone. Need to figure out how to read my favorites.

Banana and Chocolate Muffins

Yeah, I know I don't have a recipe blog...it does, however, say "Random".  So, random and vegan fits...

I needed something to do with 3 over-ripe bananas and needed to get rid of some chocolate chips before I ate them all...sooo....

Banana and Chocolate Muffins

2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 c. sugar
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 c. Vegenaise
1/4 c. soy milk
1/2 c. chocolate chips (I'm sure I had a tad more in mine!)

Heat oven to 375 degrees and spray/line a muffin tin.
Stir flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sugar together in large bowl.
In a seperate bowl mix the mashed bananas and Vegenaise.
Add the banana/Vegenaise mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well. You may have to add soy milk if your mixture is too dry...if not, don't bother.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Put mixture into muffin tin and bake 20 min.

Delish!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Here is my green drink :)

Fasting until Easter

So, I'm a little late for Lent, but I still have 40 days from tomorrow!

Not listing the plan, see verses below for why:

 

Matthew 15:8-10 (New International Version, ©2011)

   ⁸ “‘These people honor me with their lips,
   but their hearts are far from me.
⁹ They worship me in vain;
   their teachings are merely human rules.’”
 ¹⁰ Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand.

Colossians 2:20 (New International Version, ©2011)

 ²⁰ Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules:
