Wussing Out!

Okay so I am wussing out on the bikini pics. I took some pictures in my workout clothes this morning and they are not something I am comfortable showing. I didn't realize how THICK I look. It is a little frustrating because I work out hard almost everyday and eat a healthy vegan diet and I still don't look like I want. I have a lot of muscle and even a little layer of fat makes me look hefty. Time to amp up the cardio I guess! I took it out on my (very grungy looking,sorry) yoga mat:

In other news, I made raw cashew cheese last night. Here is the recipe(modified from the "Real Food Daily" cookbook):

• 1.5 c. Raw Unsalted Cashews


• 2 Tbs. Lemon Juice


• .5 tsp. Salt

Soak cashews in cold water for 2 hours. Drain and place in processor with 1/3 cup water,juice and salt. Blend for about 5 minutes,scraping the sides as needed. Place in bowl and cover-leave at room temp for 24 hours. Refrigerate-will last 5 days covered in fridge.

Oh,so delicious! It is mild and creamy with a little tang from the lemon. I used it on my bean burger(recipe soon!) that I had for dinner tonight:

Along with some broccoli and salad-YUMMY!

I also learned not to clean your puppy's dirty face with a scented baby wipe because it may give him an allergic reaction and make him look like he got punched in the eye. My poor tender baby. I gave him some Benedryl and gonna pamper him with love now and hopefully he will feel much better in the morning.
