Last year my wife and I made the switch to a (mostly) vegan diet. We let ourselves eat meat at Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc but did not even have butter or honey at home. Between eating healthy and exercising regularly, we were doing really well. I was not quite the skinniest I've ever been, but probably in the best shape I've ever been overall.
Then we got pregnant. My wife's cravings and her odour sensitivities made a vegan diet a no-go.
Since our wedding in February and the baby in July, I've quit my second job to have more time with my wife and our baby, which has me a lot less active. My wife is still healing and is generally exhausted from taking care of the baby while I'm at work. We have eaten bbq and pizza all summer, and had three thanksgiving dinners this year.
We had a wedding to go to on Saturday and I found that couldn't fit into my suit anymore. Even my neck has gotten fatter and I couldn't even fit into the shirt I wore to our wedding.
I weighed myself Sunday morning and checked my body fat percentage and both are the highest they've ever been.
But. I recently started doing Zombies, Run! 5K training again (hadn't done it in almost two years, basically since I had completed it).
I've been trying to get us both back on a mostly vegan diet for a while now (since the baby was born we've still eating vegan about 3-4 times a week) and now we've agreed is the time to really get back into it and start cooking with TVP and Nutritional Yeast and whatnot instead of meat and cheese again.
And my wife and I bought eachother new fitbits as our early Christmas presents to one another.
So anyway, I'm updating my instagram with every morning run, which is basically every other day, and I'll update here once a week with weight and body fat updates.
