easin on in

today we took lil j to the pool. it was a little chilly, to me anyway, so it took me a while to work up the courage to just go all the way.

same kinda thing this evening with my vegan-ness.

first i went to work out a the litle gym here. i did bench, bicep curls and then something new - pull ups using a towel. see, that's the only way i can do them around here. anyway i had to mess around with the weights because i didnt know how much i could do anymore. i also warmed up on an eliptical machine - the first time i've ever used on. so im easin my way back into it.

and so i got back and served myself some vegan lasagna that included squash and mushrooms. but no cheese or meat. and it was a bust. it had something to do with the pasta's toughness but still i need to experiment more. im thinking tofu or soy cheese, or both. i need to do some research there. see, i'm excited about having to rethink my ingredients but i have a long way to go.

also i decided that tomorrow i'll try to eat six small meals instead of three biggies.
