SOHL Challenge

SOHL: Sisterhood of Healthy Living. A group of mamas on my favorite forum APU formed SOHL as a support system for living healthy. We talk about our goals, whether they be food, weight loss, or just lifestyle in general. Whit came up with the idea to keep a food journal for 21 days (rest of July) because of some research proving that keeping a journal helps make better food choices. So, coinciding with the birth of my journey into veganism, this blog is going to also be my food journal!

Right now-at 8:17 am I am drinking a cup of coffee with a splash of homemade almond milk. I will be referencing Sara's blog, Happy Foody, quite a bit since she has awesome recipes and ideas.
I am also having a spinach/pb/banana smoothie with about a tablespoon of flaxseed for breakfast.
Green smoothies are my favorite things. You can get up to 11 or so servings of fruits and leafy greens a day by making a blender full of yummy green smoothies. This one has about 2 cups of spinach, two bananas, 2 T of fresh pb, and flaxseed. So, about 4 servings right there. And the kids go crazy for them! I've been drinking them off and on for about a year and a half (every since I started growing my own greens in the garden) and the kids finally decided to taste them this year. If you put enough fruit in them, you can't taste the "green" at all! And they love to freak people out with them! *hee*


I am going to take lunch today because, working in a fancy tea room leads to horrible temptations. I made a yummy Pad Thai last night (see picture above!), so I will be having left overs. I'll post the recipe later.

Tonight, I am making....hmm...I had an idea and lost it....*looking it up real quick-like*

Ah, Tuscan Vegetable Ragout....yum!

Well, I'm off to work-I'll be back later to post the rest of the day!

I'm back! So, at work I had 1 slice of pineapple, about 5-6 baby carrots and 5 french fries in addition to my Pad Thai.

So, I decided that instead of cooking again tonight, since I have a TON of Pad Thai left, we will be eating that for dinner and I'll cook for lunch tomorrow.
