It Ain't Easy Bein' Green

I broke down and got the VITAMIX blender...it is so cool! It blends everything...I can make almond butter with this thing! I mostly got it for blending green smoothies...green leafy veges combined with yummy fruit. Everyone thinks it looks disgusting, but I really like them. I feel better and I'm losing weight, so they can all kiss my butt about the weird food I've been trying!

I also got and Aerogarden...its a little no brainer hydroponic system. I'm starting a garden outside this spring, but with this sytem, I can grown salad greens to feed my Vitamix beast all year long. I'll have to take pictures of my sprouts...they are too cute!

Yeah...people seem to be pretty hostile about the whole vegan thing...I don't get why people are so defensive about eating meat. I still eat some meat...I'm not eating 100% vegan (I still hate beans!!). People seem to get so testy when you start doing something out of the norm. Hey if I want to change something about myself, I damn well am gonna do it. I don't like being put in a box and just left there. Everything I am doing is a positive thing so I don't get all the bitchyness.

Speaking of Bitchyness...I highly recommend reading Skinny Bitch and the Skinny Bitch Cookbook. They are hysterical and eye opening! The authors are not afraid of using a number of four letter words and telling it like it is!!!

I decided to give up eating major fast food and big manufacture processed meat and dairy. I'm trying the whole organic thing as well. Let me tell you...the food tastes so much better now. I guess its like smoking...when you give up smoking, they say you start to be able to taste the full flavors of food again...thats the way it seems to be with giving up over processed food loaded with harsh chemicals and antibiotics. I was so sick of the same old crap food all the time. Now I get food that seems to explode with flavor...its so much more enjoyable.
