Running To The Finish

idk if you already posted this, but how to you prepare your banana buckets? i really want to make one! oh and out of curiosity, how many bananas do you buy a week?

Tue, 21 May 2013 20:00:44 -0400

It’s literally just however many bananas I desire with two cups of water and either ice or a frozen banana to make it cold :) and I buy like 50-100 bananas a week depending on the other fruit I buy.

Sometimes I wish I was more of a girly girl. Someone who cares about what’s in fashion, did their hair and makeup and nails all the time…but I just don’t care! Forever a tomboy

Did you notice any sort of negative effects of the pill with your running? I read/have heard that it can affect your performance and make you slower. Plus, I heard it makes you gain a lot of weight, thus making you slower as well, so I'm super scared to go on it, but I want my period back. Meep.

I didn’t have any issues like that! In fact, that’s the best shape I was in all year (I took it from December to the end of march). And it didn’t make me gain weight either! I think you just have to talk with your doctor and find the right one that will work for you :) I was lucky that the first one I tried worked well for me! I know some people who through multiple kinds before they find the right one for them. Good luck anon, and don’t be too scared :)

Hey, Jess! Are you on the pill, as in birth control? Sorry for the awko taco question.

I will never understand how people don't like fruits or vegetables

for reals though. They’re so amazing and give you tons of nutrients and just make your whole appearance and insides feel warm and fuzzy and healthy and ahhhhh fruits and vegetables ^_^

What do you usually eat before bed....? How many calories do you usually eat a day?

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:27:45 -0400

Like I said before, I eat whatever my body wants. Sometimes a piece of toast or a banana or an apple! It just depends :) and I don’t count calories but it’s definitely over 2000!

I was a "junk food" vegan for four years and I've been a vegetarian for six. Seeing all the delicious food you have makes me want to be vegan again! Especially since lately I've been struggling with binge eating. :/ Do you have a grocery list or any tips for what to buy?

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:23:49 -0400

Well of say 80-90% of my groceries are fruits and vegetables. My favorites are bananas, mangos, grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe, oranges, apples, tomatoes I guess are technically fruit… And then veggies I love avocado, kale, spinach, carrots, butter lettuce, romaine lettuce, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and onions.

The other 10% is random and things like hummus, soup, Ezekiel bread, brown rice, quinoa, corn pasta, pasta sauce (low sodium), peanut butter, almond butter, and because I’m a coffee addict I get soy creamer

do you not eat after a certain time? I always get hungry around bed time and just wanna grab a bowl of kashi cereal with almond milk or pb sandwhich but im afraid its going to lead to some weight gain if i do this occasionally.

It’s 9 pm and I’m still eating :) if you’re hungry (and it’s not just cravings) then I say go for it!! :) I even eat sometimes before bed because it makes my tummy feel all warm and fuzzy and I go to bed like a well behaved baby ^_^

Does your family ever eat Vegan with you? Do they mind that you don't eat the same thing as them, if they don't also eat Vegan?

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:15:27 -0400

HA HA hold on let me calm myself down from laughter. My parents are the farthest thing from vegan or even really caring about their health for that matter. They just give me money to buy my own groceries because we never eat together because I can never eat the same thing as them. I’m lucky they support me as a vegan because I know some parents who wouldn’t do that for their child who just wants to eat healthier.

As a vegan, what sorts of things do you eat as a dinner meal?

Mon, 20 May 2013 23:48:30 -0400

Honestly it’s just whatever I feel like. Tonight I put a bag of frozen mango in the food processor and had mango sorbet along with kale chips and carrots dipped in hummus :) I eat whatever my body is craving!

can you do a Q&A vlog? i LOVE your vlogs! :)

Mon, 20 May 2013 22:50:13 -0400

If people send me questions/comment on this with questions they want me to answer :)

Why? Because you are so damn cute!

awwww shucks, thank you! ^_^

Are hard boiled eggs bad for you?

Mon, 20 May 2013 21:56:00 -0400

I obviously don’t eat eggs since I’m a vegan, but the nutritional difference between a fried egg (besides the oil) and a hard boiled egg is no different.

Ok, so since I have NO self control whatsoever, if I spread my calories throughout the day I will likely binge at night. So what I've been doing is waiting to eat the majority of my calories until around 6 or 7 pm so I am full and don't binge! It's been working thus far... But I need the willpower to just eat breakfast lunch and dinner no snacks no eating after 8 pm etc etc but it's like my body won't let me:(

I wish I could help. I’m really not an expert with Binge Eating Disorder, so hopefully one of my followers who is can leave a comment and help?
