Was looking through my old Hopefully Shrinking blog and it is amazing how far I have come. I have learned so much about health and proper eating since then. Can’t believe this whole road to health and veganism started with my body’s inability to properly digest an Oreo. Miracle in disguise…

Breakfast:  Oatmeal with blueberries

Lunch:  Salad & water with frozen fruit

Dinner:  Taco flavored rice & beans with a homemade salsa-ish-type-thing and unsweetened almond milk in a zombie mug
