However, if you fill up one side of the sink with soapy water and the other side with rinse water - and if you don't let the faucet run - you'll use half as much water as a dishwasher does. Doing the dishes this way can save enough water for a five-minute shower!

satisfy.my.soul added an entry about lose weight : ah today it was a new low for me…i’m pretty happy about it! i can’t believe i have hit the 25 lb mark (just seemed sort of impossible i think when i first started) but yeah, 10.5 more! i just hope it’s continual and no deprivation – i’ve still been having my bites of cookie dough ice cream (& pumpkin too!). :D
One of the things that struck me right away about vegan cooking was the amount of maple syrup called for in many recipes. It seems that a lot of vegan cooks rely on maple syrup to take the place of honey and sugar in recipes, particularly in baked desserts.
pakita79 added an entry about lose weight : I’m so anxious about weighing in tomorrow, what’s wrong with me?? Almost time to go home thankfully. I’m only a tiny bit hungry, though my stomach just growled at me!! So 100 calories maximum when I get home. I’ve had almost 1300 so far.
clare90 added an entry about lose weight : It’s now or never I think…I can’t go on much longer feeling so crap about myself.I’ve never once been thin or even the right weight in my whole life. I feel like I’m not as good as everyone else and that I’m not taken as serious because I’m not thin. I just want one person to say to me ‘you’re so thin’ or you have a lovely figure. Where to start now though? I’m gonna eat less and move more. I never want to look this way again. Good luck to everyone else with this goal! I can’t wait to buy smaller clothes!
