BIG week.

Lasik. Perfect opportunity to change my life around.

The operation went swimmingly, and I am still shocked that I can see. There's a little fog, but geez - I'm not even 24 hours out of surgery.

I was checking out my husband today as he was getting ready to leave on his business trip. That boy has gotten FINE. Like, crazy-hot-FINE. He's been working out five days per week for the past two years, and has made a complete dietary turnaround. Though he still allows himself some beer, and occasionally some dessert, it is very appropriate. Unlike me, who thinks there should be something sweet at every meal...heck...that something sweet should BE the meal, he treats it like it is supposed to be treated. A treat.

We're talking about a boy who used to drink multiple 2-litres of Coke daily. And entire dozens of cookies at a sitting. Though he never was fat (since I've known him) he was certainly doughy. 

Not any more.

So though the title of this blog is "Little Steps...", I am going to attempt a HUGE one this week while he is away. I'm going to be 80% vegan this week. And yes, I'm allowing myself 20% leeway due to the fact that I 1) don't want to waste what is already in my fridge and 2) would rather eat my homegrown chicken than some processed fake-meat.

I've pulled several wonderful sounding recipes off of various blogs. I'll make them and post a review here.

It might be a couple days before I can truly start since I am not cleared to drive yet, but once I do you'll know about it.

A couple hours later...

Oh boy, this is going to be harder than I realized. Went out to lunch with a friend and immediately gave in to a meal I should *not* have eaten.
