Vegan + Bootcamp = Raw Strength : Journal

Mosno here,
 Yesterday I experienced my 1st day of Boot Camp, exercise Boot Camp that is, courtesy of The Boot Camp Girl Stephanie Dignan :), who ALSO happens to be a fellow Vegan.

It was quite an experience, and I loved it.
The community of people there are very kind and supportive of each other. They were giving me tips, and hints to help me through out the work out. You are never competing with others, you are only competing with YOUR self, to get better, and stronger. 

I've lost a lot of weight since being Vegan, and that has allowed me to have MORE energy, which makes sense. Since the food that I'm eating is healthy, and doesn't contain chemicals and animal products, my body is able to process it faster, and with less energy, which then leaves you with all the energy you get from the food it just processed, hence the extra energy.

One cool think I enjoyed about my 1st day at Boot Camp, is that we exercised OUTSIDE! You read you read that right. The weather was nice, so we as a team decided to take advantage of this and do the workout out side. I got to run my 1st mile, EVER. it took me about 13+ minutes. It was tough, because I'm not a runner, but I'm determined shave that number down, and Boot Camp will help.

Stephanie actually sat down with me and we spoke about what it is that I am looking to accomplish, that way she can help me cater to those needs. Another cool thing about this Boot Camp, is that they have these workouts at different locations, and with different instructors..this means you can go to any of them (or all of them) 7 days a week, and with each instructor you will get a different work out. So no boring routine, which is brilliant. :)

I wanted to thank the Vegan Living Program, for bringing Stephani to talk to us, and I wanted to thank Stephani for the raffle which I WON for a free 2 week boot camp with The Boot Camp Girl. You can actually win a FREE MONTH, so visit their site www.TheBootCampGirl.com and enter to win

I'm a little sore, but I will be going to a 6am workout TOMORROW, after I rock out a gig TONIGHT.
Is it crazy, maybe, but I won't get MY results drinking soda and watching TV.
Lets DO this! :D

I'll blog you later.

Potato Dish. Mosno Style :)

Hey everyone, Mosno here,
 I have to say, I'm really enjoying this vegan culinary experience I'm having, this past weekend I put together a little potato dish, and I have to say I'm pretty happy with it. The dish is made up of 3 different layers, so here we go.

LAYER 1: The Potatos
-Put potatos in a pot of water
-I let mine boil for about an hour to get them nice and soft.

LAYER 2: The Sauce
-One large tea spoon of Peanut Butter in a bowl
-Add water (bit by bit) and stir, until the peanut butter has a more liquid/sauce texture
-Add your spices to it (I put lemon juice, soy sauce, salt, & garlic powder)
-Stir some more

LAYER 2: The Crunch
-One large or medium Mediterranean / Pita bread
-Cut up dates and place on the bread
-Put that in to a toaster over, and toast until the bread hardens (and the dates become roasted)
-Leave it in the toaster over to cool, this will help harden the dates a little bit

Now the assembly
-Cut up the cooked potatoes and place in a large bowl
-After every few potatoes add the peanut sauce and stir
Do this until all the potatoes are cut up and all the peanut sauce is used up
-Stir generously
-Take out the toasted bread with dates
-Put the dates into the bowl with the potatoes and stir
-Break up the harden bread and use on the side like chips
-Make a cup of tea and enjoy your meal

I've had this dish hot and cold, tasted Delicious either way.
Let me know if you have any improvements on it :)

I'll blog you later.
Much Love
