This post is going to be all over the place, but that is kinda how my life is at the moment. I still have a few meals left from Gobble Green, but my stock is (sadly) running low! I tried the "burger" and fries with mango salsa, both were really good.
Here is what it looked like (ignore the "i need to eat this now" bites)
The burger is made up of mostly vegetables and it was greatly complimented by the mango salsa. I heated the burger up in the microwave then made is crispy in the skillet, the fries were heated up in the oven for about 10 minutes at 400 degrees. This meal has 357 calories and is totally vegan.
Another entree that I really enjoyed was the vegan spaghetti and meatballs. At 347 calories this meal was flavorful and filling. The meatballs had the texture of real meat and were crumbly vs. rubbery, which I prefer. I do wish that they would have included more sauce in the packet and overall found this dish to be even better with a sprinkle of garlic and oregano.

What else has been going on? I've been riding a bike! A few weeks ago� I spoke with Joan from Super Sized Cycles in regards to letting me try out one of her bikes. I found�them by searching "bikes for fat people", I know, that's a great search term, but when I found her site I had to email her. Skip forward a couple of weeks and this bike arrived on my front porch:
I look really silly in this photos!
I've been enjoying getting back into riding again, something I haven't done in years. I was terrified when I first got on, mainly because my feet barely touch the ground when I get on. But, I've warmed up to it and have gotten used to the electric element to the bike. I was able to fly up hills, something that I cannot do on my own. I can't even make it up a slight incline on my own much less the major hills in this area.
Have you guys been on a bike recently? I have to say that I've been wanting to get on a bike for a long time now, but my weight has kept me from giving it a try. Not because of feeling out of shape as much as the fear of breaking a bike. Super Sized Cycles creates bikes especially for larger people, I can't even begin to express the freedom�I feel when I'm on this bike. I feel light and active, I love it.�I'll keep you posted about how my progress goes.

This past weekend I participated in three jewelry events. One on Thursday for the Hotel Floyd Concert Series, another on Friday for the Floyd Community Market Artisan Market and then another on Saturday in my hometown for a show at my mom's house. Needless to say I had very little sleep, but it was well worth it.
I felt like this on Monday:
Mother's day weekend was so much fun, I got to hang out with my parents, sister and friends and sell jewelry. I love my mom! Check out my handmade jewelry shop.
And last but not least, we're closing on our home tomorrow!! I will try to stay updated as much as possible, but have a feeling my posts will continue�to be�sparse until we settle in. The internet will be installed on Monday; I can't wait to show you photos of our new home!
I also wanted to mention that I've hired a contributor to this blog. And when I say contributor I mean my best friend since first grade, Jasmine. I've been overwhelmed with the positive responses from�this blog and she's come on board to help�sort through�emails, twitter, commenting, and the occasional blog post. I'm so excited to have someone else to share this crazy blogging experience with�and know that she will help me provide�quality/interesting content.
