I thought this would be impossible, until I accidentally ended up at Right by Nature in the Strip District, where I almost fainted at all of the amazing things they stock. My most exciting find was frozen vegan burritos!! I keep trying to find the downside to them, but they are 1.Vegan 2.Frozen/pre-portioned 3.Made of natural ingredients 4.Delicious! So the only real downside is the cost... I think they were $2.25 each. But I guess if I have to compromise on something, that's what I'd want it to be! Sure, I can get a burrito the same size at Taco Bell for 99 cents, but ugh... I've eaten Taco Bell once in the last 2 months or so, and I can't imagine doing it again any time soon. I'm seriously reformed here! I want to be able to trust the companies/foods I put into my body, and unfortunately, that comes with a price in this country.
For work lunch today, Dustin took a veggie fajita burrito and I took the spinach tofu one. I added some hot sauce on top because I don't like a too dry burrito:
I'm still having a tough time tasting anything thanks to this cold, but I can tell these will be life-altering. I WILL seek out more things like this so I can track what I eat starting today. Going vegan ended up knocking me further off track than I ever imagined it would, but then again, I never imagined it would stick like this! I am so proud of Dustin and myself, even if we took a while to get back on the weight loss wagon. This is the biggest lifestyle change anyone could imagine for the two of us, and I think it's only going to help us now that we're starting again. I no longer crave pizza late at night. I don't think soda is an acceptable replacement for water. I don't REQUIRE something chocolate after every meal.
Everything has changed on the inside. Now it's time to change the outside too.
I had one of the evol burritos two weeks ago. It's was the veggie fajita and was YUMMY. I plan to stock up on some more on my next trip to the co op
ReplyDeleteCame back to read the post after your comment. I used sparkpeople before going vegan and loved it but found it too hard to use after I had to enter in EVERYTHING. Way too time consuming even for a stay at home mom. I have reverted back to pen and paper, it's faster. I'm curious is your burrito the snack size? Mine was and I can't imagine that would be enough food for a man.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support. I have decided to go 90/10 with my vegan diet. 90 will be vegan but the other 10 is for the kids to have some breathing room. Some day we will make it to 100. Baby steps
No, the burritos were the full-sized ones! I have a manly appetite. :)
