Wow! I can't believe it's been 10 days since I have posted! There was lots of cooking done around here - and not all of it was vegan - but we were good and stuck with our new lifestyle. We cooked a 10 pound pork shoulder last Friday night - all night - and also smoked a turkey breast. We served it to 24 people on saturday. It really wasn't an issue NOT eating the pork in particular. I actually had problems pulling the pork once it was done. I have always loved barbecue so much and it just wasn't appetizing at all. I guess that's a good thing. I was pretty neutral toward the turkey. It didn't bother me so much. Anyway, John and I had potato salad made with no-fat soy spread and baked beans, coleslaw, homemade taco bread, and a nice fruit salad with a sauce made of silken tofu, powdered sugar and soy milk. We had plenty to eat and it was't a problem to leave the other stuff alone. I was glad that Brad and Chrissy cleaned up everything and - most importantly - took that evil banana pudding home with them. Banana pudding was the beginning of the end for me when I lost weight before. Seems like I fell in headfirst and never came out until this August.
We both maintained our weight during Christmas and the total now is 35 pounds for me and 20 for John.
