3 months in & Goals Achieved

It's been a little over 3 months since I made the vegan switch! Here are the results so far;

Dropped 10lbs the first 6 weeks and have stayed at that same weight since despite barely exercising this last month. Overall I have noticed feeling more energized, awake, less mood swings, more "regular" & less allergies. I am still trying new foods and loving things I never would have expected loving. 

I just found a note that I wrote a year ago that says "Foods to learn to like".. I had always struggled with learning to like vegetables and becoming a vegan has forced me to try things and be totally surprised by the taste. I am so excited now looking at this list because I can check off 1/2 of them!!

Foods to Learn to Like: 
Cucumbers  √
Celery √
Radishes √
Bell Peppers √
Spinach √
Cabbage √
Eggplant √
Zucchini √
Sweet Potatoes √
Tofu √
Cauliflower √

I can't believe Onions weren't on the list! I hated them a year ago and now I add them to everything!! 

What I need to try still:
Kale
Collard Greens
Chard
Cauliflower
leeks
edamame
Honey Dew
couscous
Bulgur Wheat
Quinoa
Ostrich - X Seriously! I had that on my list a year ago ?
