Vegan says what?

Hi,

It has been an 8 month break from J.D.B.F but I am back with a brand new plan for he next 30 days. Lets catch up first.

  • I accomplished getting back in college and attended summer class. I took 2 classes and received an "A" in Religion and "A-" in history. I have registered for the fall and looking forward to doing even better.
  • Michelle and I are no longer together but the co-parenting is productive. We have taken Michael to Rye Play land and yesterday we took the Governor's Island ferry.
  • My cousin Snooky and her son Damien are back in the family picture and it has been nice to have them around.
  • Martine and I are no longer tight. I spoke to her once this summer. She was a great friend and her presence is missed but not everything lasts. I wish her luck in her future endeavors.
My time alone with Michael has been very beneficial. We are closer than ever and I am a better dad than ever. I love taking care of him and taking him new places. I thank God everyday for my son.

Thirty Days Vegan

Why you might ask? Why not? For the next thirty days I will be working out 4+ days per week and eating a vegan diet. This means no dairy, meat or food with artificial crap in it. I have done vegetarian before so it will not be a big deal, but for 30 days I will track my mood, energy, weight loss and workouts. I start today and my last day is September 5Th. September 6Th I will have a nice steak and the next day I will have a new plan.

Breakfast
  • All natural peanut butter on Ezekiel bread. Decaffeinated green tea
Any other meal
  • Tofu, vegetables, and quinoa (it's like rice but it's a seed). Veggie burgers will also do nicely
Post workout
  • Whey protein shake in water with banana. I believe this is not vegan at all but it is the one exception I made for myself since I already have the powder
Today I tipped the scales at a whopping 254.4. Tune in tomorrow for an update.

TTYS,
JJB
