Weekly Update: 12 Week Vegan Weight Loss Challenge

(For those of you doing the challenge, remember to give us a quick update!)

Week 9
by guestblogger Elise

I feel great about this week. It wasn’t perfect. But I had some great exercise sessions, and I made some dinners!

One of my favorite things that we did this week was a quick polenta dinner. We bought some prepared polenta, sliced it, heated it on the stove, and served with vegetables. It was incredibly fast. And it tasted delicious. I recommend it as a fast, yummy meal. And my kids liked it, which is important in our house. What are your family’s favorite fast vegan meals?

One thing I will improve on this week is aerobic exercise. I am still struggling! I really detest feeling like I can’t breathe. But this week I am going to TRY doing my least favorite thing: the treadmill. Or elliptical. I can’t decide. I will do it once. For at least 40 minutes. My other aerobic exercise is kickboxing (which I love, but can only do once per week because of my schedule).

One tiny exciting development: I am developing very faint lines under my biceps. I really have some of those! It’s the first time in my life that’s ever happened. Maybe by the end of this challenge I’ll be able to see real definition!
