Extreme Veteran 611 Casa Grande, Az. | Subject: RE: April Vegetarian/Vegan Curious Challenge mbasta - 2011-03-29 7:08 PM I get mine at Walmart. It's usually in the Baking aisle. I also use it as a gel for races/ longer workouts. I get a 6 oz. gel flask(I got mine from Performance Bike) and put 1/2 tablespoon of 100% cocoa then fill it with agave nectar and stir it up. In the long run, it's cheaper than buying gels in the packets. On the bike, I just use straight honey.todds - 2011-03-29 8:58 PM I'm in!!! After thinking about this...

Elite 2640 Ontario, Canada | Subject: RE: April Vegetarian/Vegan Curious Challenge So... does anyone here know how to make/put online a spreadsheet for this challenge? I know I should have these skills since I started a challenge, but you've got to start somewhere right?? I can make a spreadsheet, but I don't know how to post it online. Here's what I am thinking for the spreadsheet: Name | April 1 | April 2 | April 3 | ... | total points for April Mel | 1 | 2 | 2 | ... | 5 Any other suggestions? |

Maybe set it up so we can put in points for each week rather than each day, otherwise the spreadsheet will get too wide. The challenges are usually kept on [email protected], password: challengeforum. I'm pretty sure you can create the spreadsheet on there. Btw, I'm in |

My rest days are on Fridays so I start the challenge out with a 2 point day!!! Should be interesting! Was a challenge just now while I was getting my breakfast/lunch ready for work tomorrow! Great start! What's on the menu today? Today is vegetarian only for me because I am doing a dairy free thing where I eat dairy day 1 (today), go dairy free for 10 days, then reintroduce dairy for 3 days. I am testing whether I am sensitive to dairy or not... I'm sad to say I think i know the answer though. I set it up so dairy is reintroduced for my birthday! Mmm. |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: April Vegetarian/Vegan Curious Challenge April Fool's Day was a veggie day for me. Pan-fried (sauteed?) tofu Pancakes made with mix, but added yogurt, oil and soy milk for the protein/fat. They were so delicious I didn't have to add anything to them. I'm kinda sick so that's all I ate. Oh, tea. Lots of tea. And candied ginger. |

Veteran 314 SoCal | Subject: RE: April Vegetarian/Vegan Curious Challenge is it too late to join the challenge? my diet is mostly plant based, but definitely not vegan. at one point in my life i was completely vegetarian, but am now a little more pescatarian who occasionally dabbles in poultry.
anyway! my point is that i'd like to transition to as vegetarian as possible (for me) ... this seems like a good place to start! breakfast: nature's path optimum blueberry cereal, milk lunch: omelette w/veggie "sausage," guac, onions, salsa. iced tea dinner: quinoa/wheatberries tossed with chard, new potatoes, onions, tempeh. broccolini. blood orange sorbet for dessert! |

Elite 3471 Evergreen, CO | Subject: RE: April Vegetarian/Vegan Curious Challenge Oops - I thought today was the start of the challenge. Luckily I was on a hut trip w/ lots of vegans & vegetarians over the weekend. I had buffalo chili, tho, yesterday while we were waiting for I70 to reopen. I'll go post my points now. Looking forward to this! Today: vegan smoothie for breakfast; almond butter wrap for lunch; orange for snack. Just gotta stay away from the cheese tonight! |
