Long time, no entry.

I haven't gone off my diet. Well... that's not so true. I haven't been juicing to the degree I was at the start. I've been eating vegan and attempting to roll more exercise into the mix. I've had no problem maintaining this new threshold of about 30lbs lighter. It's been great! But it's time to move on to a new level.

Our big summer cookout is today. This is the one where the girlfriend goes nutty and cleans everything she cans while cooking to feed an army. Our Sous Vide oven has been water bathing ribs at a low slow heat for 48 hours. They should fall off the bone. All the bacon wrapped filet mignon I bought before starting this diet is going on the grill. I'm not going to break the meat ban, but I'm not going to stick to the diet either. I've bought some Nut-Thins crackers and I intend to nosh on some hummus with abandon.

I'm also making a homemade version of the Trader Joe's Spicy Lentil Wrap. The recipe called for 1/2 cup of lentils. That makes 6 wraps. I'm making a batch with 5 cups of lentils. I should have enough wraps to feed a vegan army. Fingers crossed this comes out good. Lentils are cheap and I can save a bundle if this comes out as tasty as TJoe's!

I'm feeling good and on my way to a new me.
