Sweet Hours Have Perished Here

So today is day 8 on the vegan diet quest. A little tired. But, I am so ecstatic that on Wednesday morning at 4am, I will be headed to Logan for the DR. A little sunshine will perk me right up.

I think it will be easier to eat in the DR. I really want to eat fruit right now SO bad. I had a grapefruit today. I am craving papaya and grapes. AND RUM

Still at work trying to get everything in order for the few days I will be out. Yes, I entered my time….

Going home to prep Nikkita on the doggies.

Tata for now.

I hate this.

I am so tired today I can barely open my eyes. I went to bed on time, actually early come to think of it. So, not sure what is causing this unbelieveable sleepiness. 5 Days till vacation. Hooray! Nothing new to report. It’s Friday and the week is pretty much done.

Yesterday I went to WW and actually gained 2.2lbs. So as you can imagine I am a little upset. I looked at the woman who weighed me and said, ” Um, so- do you realize I didn’t eat any cheese all week?.” and she said ” Really?,” and I said ” Yes, really.”  I did eat lunch at like 4 yesterday so, perhaps that is part of the problem. Nevertheless, back on the bandwagon I go.

I had some vegetarian “meat” balls for breakfast. Hilarious trying to eat them while driving on 495. Just didn’t have time to make anything else. Too exhusted.  The dogs were whiney this morning. Terrance did not want to remove himself from Dutchess’ crate. ( he brought a chewy in there) Needless to say,  Dutchess for some reason has been anti- going to bed all week. I can’t figure it out. She refuses to go upstairs, I  have to drag her. Then when she gets upstairs she climbs in our bed.  Poor Nikki ought to have a fabulous time next week sleeping with a 65lb airedale.

So, as we are still taking about this whole vegan thing- I am in need of a new spring bag. I want a nice big flashy white one. There is one catch- can’t be made of leather. How convenient….

I have been scoring the globe for one that isn’t leather. I never really liked buying leather as a vegetarian but I made exceptions. ( yes, I know how hypocritical of me, don’t judge) I have always loved Matt & Nat bags. They are vegan and really cute. I think I am going with the Avril. Thoughts?

And today is day 4 on the vegan quest and I learned something VERY disturbing. Vegans don’t eat honey as it is a product of bees. ( not sure why this one slipped my mind)

Ok people- this is really getting a little crazy.
Honey is one of my ultimate favorite things. One of my guiltiest pleasures is a ‘ sweet banana’ (yes  I am five.) It is a slice of bread toasted with a few pieces of banana and about two tablespoons of honey. I heart it. Big time. Ever since I was little  in my Christmas stoking I got those honey sticks that come in plastic. Omigod- no more honey ???!?!?!

Ok, ok. I will try to not eat honey.

Today is day two in the quest of Holly to make a concerted effort to become vegan ( in diet only- I am NOT ditching my Charles David big leather bag)

How do I feel ? Well, cheese would be nice.

I had my lunch. A large salad ( greens and tomatoes) with a pinch of soy cheese and 1/2 cup black beluga lentils. Woo hoo, how exciting… right. Everyone wants beluga lentils. People line up around the block for em’.

This is much harder than I ever anticipated it would be, but I really want it to work.

Why go vegan? Mostly health reasons. I am in a constant quest to lose the weight, but more so because I read an absoluteley startling fact about how cows milk makes a 90lb calf into a 2,000 pound calf in as little as two years!!!!!!! So, me eating cheese, gobs of ice cream and rocking chocolate and other dairy  products is of high point value  for WW and is really not that good for me. So, we will give it a try.

Poor Jesse. I have been a literal wreck since abandoning my beloved cheddar. Last night I had to make 2 different meals entirely simply because the marinara he bought had parm in it!!!

So far so good. I will keep you posted.  I might have to bash in the vending machine for beloved cheeze-its.

If you know me at all you are aware that I am ATROCIOUS at math.

I said that I drive 58 hours a month. No no, that is not correct.

On average lets say 1 hour and 20 mintutes per ride, round down to 1 hour each way. So that is 2 hours per day times 5 days per week that equals 10, times 4 weeks = 40!

Still, I could have a third job….

Major confession. I LOVE the Golden Girls. Love Love Love. There is nothing I love better than cuddling up with the dogs with a cup of tea and some Golden Girls. The show was fantastic. Wholesome good clean fun with the exception of Blanche’s taudry outfits and crazy escapades with the tan Bill Clinton’s of the world.
