VEGETARIAN SLIMMING QUESTIONNAIRE ~ Linda

[Guest guest]

Hi Linda and welcome!

Sounds like you're on the right path to losing that weight by adding more

exercise into your life! That's great! I know some of our members are using

the McDougall diet (is that what it is?) so if you have any questions, feel free

to ask!

Hi, Everyone!

 

Please tell us a little about yourself so we can know

you a bit better:

 

To get you started, why not tell us:

* your name or nickname: Linda

* where you live (continent, region or city, whatever): Denver, Colorado,

* your age group - teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s,70s, 80s or more

(congratulations!)?: 50s

 

Also:

* Are you are vegetarian (or vegan), still working at

it, or still thinking about it? How long?:

 

I've been thinking about it for, I swear, 20 years, and dipped my toe into it

frequently but just haven't been able to walk the walk. A couple of weeks ago I

committed myself to a healthier lifestyle, and to me, that means vegetarian. I

have all John McDougall's books and lots of others dealing with the veg

lifestyle. Even then, I'm sure I'll cheat a little, but as long as I'm, say, 99%

veg, that's OK by me.

 

* Are you the only veggie or wannabe in your

household? How many others?: A big fat zero.

 

* Do you do the cooking or is it shared?: I do all the real cooking. For a

couple of years, I have concentrated on vegetarian dishes. I won't even bother

learning any new meat dishes. I've found that my husband (my one child is gone

to college) is fine with a haunch of meat every night, and I just make sides to

go along with it, and I eat only the sides. On the weekends I do a lot of

cooking for the week, soups and casseroles, stuff like that, because I take my

lunch every day, too. For example, last weekend I made Shepherd's Pie, and it's

delush!

 

>WAIT! Anything else you would like to tell us? This is your

Big Chance!!!< Hmmm....need to lose 30 lbs, and I'm going in the right direction

so far. I like to ride my bicycle, so I joined the Denver Bike Club a couple of

years ago, and that's been fun. During one of the recent five snowstorms we've

had, I joined the Colorado Mountain Club, too. I've always wanted to go hiking

in the mtns, and since I have no directional sense whatsoever, I definitely need

to do that with a group.

 

Happy to be here!

 

Linda
