Adds:

Went to Spicy Thai in St. Catharines, Ontario. Ordered the 5-course vegetarian special, which they were happy to veganize (by replacing a scoop of ice cream with two extra banana spring rolls)

-glass noodle soup with tofu, broccoli and snap peas
-spicy pad thai with rice noodles, bean sprouts, tofu, broccoli, snap peas, zucchini and some other vegetables
-4 mini banana spring rolls, black coffee.
(luckily all but the pad thai were really small portions)

I am stuffffffffffed! I ate like a vegan piggy today. Time to get some exercise!
I still have some pad thai left over for lunch tomorrow

[Yoggy]

Yesterday:

Snack: fresh pineapple and a banana

Lunch: leftover green curry (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, pineapple and red pepper)

Snack: vegan chocolate cake - it was my colleague's birthday and another colleague bought a vegan cake from a kosher bakery just so I could have some! It was very nice of her but the cake was baaaaaad . There were leftovers that no one took. When I bake cake for colleagues' birthdays, it's all gone within an hour (thank you Sarah Kramer)! I'll volunteer for the next birthday

[Cup'O'Tea]

Cup O' Tea, what are Banana spring rolls??? They sound fantastic! I'm going to St. Catherine's for a wedding in August, I'll have to remember to try some.

They're small spring rolls (think the size of your middle finger) stuffed with banana and deep-fried. The menu online says the outer wrap is made with coconut, but I don't think so - I think it was the same wrapping used for the vegetable spring rolls.
Anyways, my meal was delicious! I highly reccommend Spicy Thai for any vegan in St. Catharines. There aren't many restaurants around that have a good selection of vegetarian options, let alone vegan - but this one tops them all. Especially if you like spicy food! They have milder options too.

[Est]

A bowl of homemade granola (maple syrup and cinammon) plus rice milk

Lunch:
Mushroom pate with red onion and tarragon on seeded bread
Alpro Soy vanilla desert (yummy)

2 squares of Montezuma's dark chocolate with orange and geranium (so yummy I'm not sure how I'll avoid eating all the rest of the bar today!)

Dinner:
Will be garden burgers with mushrooms and peppers (got pecan nuts, breadcrumbs, hoisin sauce etc in them) in bread rolls with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato and ketchup!

[VelvetDragon]

You guys make me feel like a glutton! D: I eat so much compared to most of you.

Yesterday:

* Blueberries
* ReBar

* Iced tea
* Quinoa salad w/ cucumber, cilantro, tomato, jalapeños, lemon juice, some other stuff...
* Tofurky Feast -- a slice of tofurky roast with stuffing, apricot glaze, potatoes and carrots, and "giblet" and mushroom gravy
* Whole grain roll

[Cup'O'Tea]

My diet seriously sucks! Plus exercise?!?! No way...not unless a tonne of walking counts!!

Breakfast

• Banana

Lunch

• Mango
• Mixed Melon
• Cookies (lol)

Dinner

• Stir Fry (Brown Rice, Organic Quinoa, Organic Broccoli, Organic Mushrooms, Gluten Free Soya Sauce, Pepper)

Snack

• Organic Carrot and Houmous x 2

I am always too lazy to make anything but stir fry.

I want to try and get at least 5 a day, and 2 legume type things...and seeds/nuts. Plus calcium type products. lol

That's not bad at all! I would just try to concentrate on getting more protein, and more grain products. Try for, at every meal: A protein source, a grain source and a fruit or veg.

Yes, walking counts! It doesn't get your heart rate up in most cases, like running or biking would, but walking is a good form of exercise!

Nothing. That could be why I'm exhausted and cranky.

[RubyDuby]

i hope u ate something!

[Enchantress]

Ooooh, how do you make the snack balls? I bet they would be even nicer with maple syrup...

I just put the oats, chopped dates, peanut butter and orange juice in a bowl and mixed them all together. I didn't measure anything out, just played around with the ratios adding a little more of this and that until I was happy with the consistency of the mixture. Then I formed the mixture into balls and rolled each one is some more oats.

Two oat, peanut butter, date and orange juice snack balls.
Two small bananas.
One bowl of vegetable soup - onion, garlic, curry powder, organic boullion powder, borlotti beans, sweetcorn, carrots and broccoli.

Just a dinner consisting of a bowl of faux chicken salsa soup and a hummus pita with cabbage, tomato, cucumber & onions. That's pretty much all I eat daily from Monday-Thursday.
Weekends are quite the different story, though. Tomorrow I'm going to have some tofu stir fry, a mango & orange smoothie and some of the awesome vegan brownies I made and froze last weekend. I can't wait!

Trying to eat right again. As in...not bingeing at night and refusing to post everything I actually ate ...Oh well. I'm broke and there's not much unhealthy in my house now for bingeing on, so I'll be fine. Getting back to exercising today, too! At least 30 minutes per day. I want to look good for Valentine's Day, and Florida (going in 17 days). I don't need to lose weight at all, just tone up and get much better eating patterns like I had before Christmas.
