No lime in my coconut, but I do drink it all up.

I think that I'm in love with So Delicious Coconut Milk.  I want to marry it.

See, I got both the original/plain formula and the vanilla formula.  I started with the vanilla, because plain versions of alternative milks usually gross me out.  But, I was only kind of meh about it.  It had a weird aftertaste, and I wasn't digging it.  Well, come to find out, the original/plain version is delicious!  It is thinner than cow milk, but it has a very similar taste.  It's extremely creamy.  And, coconuts are a source of all kinds of vitamins and nutrients that make your body happy and healthy.  So, I feel a lot better about nixing the cow milk.  Milk was one of the things that I was really bumming about, because I have to have milk of some kind.  It's yummy.

I've been a little loose with my diet.  I am still doing smoothies and loving it.  I've upped my intake of Vitamineral Greens and I feel the difference.  My thoughts are just clearer and more balanced.  Last night, my boyfriend took me out to Garbanzo, which is a Mediterranean joint.  I had a very healthy plate of hummus, various vegetable salads, pickles, pickled cabbage and pickled eggplant.  I feel like Snooki.

But, I also had falafel, which is fried.  Ugh.  They're made up of such healthy stuff...but, then they're fried.

I refuse to beat myself up over it.  When I started this blog, I didn't realize how much pressure it would put on me.  "What will I write?  I haven't lost any more weight!"

I have to take it easy on myself and realize that I am eating WAY more healthy than I used to, and I'm feeling good.  Weight loss might just have to come slowly.  This was about changing my behaviors to better suit my life.  And, I think I'm doing well with that.
