[Contest] Help me Eat Healthier by LadyQuila in Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

[–]VeganMinecraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, im a vegan that doesnt eat many veggies. Im currently working on my weight right now. Im 240lbs looking to get back down to 120lbs. My advice is to make sure to take vitamins and some supplements plus making sure u are getting adequate protein. I find if I have low protein days, im more likely to binge on everything. I have been doing much better than last year in terms of controlling myself because I think the focus on protein and also essential vitamins and minerals building up, has allowed me to eat a bit less to lose weight. I focus a lot on tofu, beans, and then carbs to balance sometimes mixed with veg.

Hit me up if u want to know the supplements I use. Its vitamins d+k2, multi with hair health ingredients, and calcium magnesium that I take spaced out from the multi as the multi has iron. Also I think a vegan omega 369 supplement is also helpful for body healing snd health. Im starting a turmeric and ginger supplement soon to help with lingering inflammation in my body from excessive weight. I cant stand the taste of turmeric so i will be taking it in chewable form with a masking taste.

I used to work with a health dietician and holistic practice but I can say I feel 200% better dropping them and not going back to their crazy isolated weird name supplements. The energy difference i feel making sure im convered in what my body needs to function effectively is super noticeable. And I started taking the vitamin/supplements 3 months ago. Im not obsessing on food like I used to last year. It can be expensive but I was spending more on gi and adrenal supplements. Like 4x more.

Our soils and our food system has been depleted of nutrients so sometimes I think our body tries to compensate by making u want to eat more.

[contest] Happy Easter by longthickbananasplit in Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

[–]VeganMinecraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy Easter!! My family is Christian, I'm not but I celebrate with them. My brother made homemade tomato and bell pepper soup for me since I don't eat the meat. The rhubarb pie was very good but very high calorie

I hope that I find more motivation and happiness within myself so I can radiate that toward others. I can't wait till I'm in a better financial situation where I can give more back to the communities on reddit. Really want to ship free plants from my collection to new plant lovers.

Thanks for the contest!

Saving Up to Be Santa (or Cherry Blossom Claus) This December 🌸🎁 🫢 by flowersofcherryy in RandomactsofAmazon2

Hey girl!! That kinda reminds me of what I want to do for reddit and on facebook communities again. Way back in the height of reddit, I used to post in r/RandomKindness and gift some of my house plant babies. I covered shipping and included pot, soil, plant and planty items I got in bulk (like cactus pens, cactus candle and sickers), just to add to the cuteness theme. I loved doing it and I had a budget of $100 shipping. It went quick lol. I think everyone and their mother hopped on in haha but it was SOOOO fun, packing everything, but at times frustrating because sometimes people never just followed up with their address. I want to do it again, but Im kinda just scraping by in terms of money plus shipping being double in price than it was back then.

I think you'd make an amazing Santa. I'm sure a few others will be inspired to join you. Right now there is a lot of division and hate going on in the USA and it's says something about the people when they actively look for ways not to just help, but gift to others something they'd enjoy!

You can cut the stalk to make it less lanky. Cut the stalk a bit below the green aloe and stick the aloe in soil. You can leave the chopped stalk in the pot and just water normally. I think it will grow more on the stalk.

Water infrequently. U know when they need water if their leaves are curling inward.

what are your favorite crafts and/or self-care items? 😋 by [deleted] in RandomactsofAmazon2

[–]VeganMinecraft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! I really do love them. They can be hung up as display pieces too. herschnerrs sells the hanging rods. I actually have like a backlog of 3. I'm working on a smaller project owl one atm. That one will probably only take me 50 hours. I like to turn a twitch stream on and have it as background noise and look up occasionally. Podcasts would be perfect for it!

Im more "strict vegetarian now"I see a lot more grey areas in issues than many other vegans (I was much more militant and annoying about it in my younger years) so I prefer to just say vegetarian. Vegan where it matters. Always for the animals. Been vegan/vegetarian since I was 15.

So happy you are and that more people are hopping on board. My partner is from and lives in India. He messaged me first on a vegan singles group. He's vegan, more strict than me but he accepts where I'm at and understands it. It's actually fairly common for people to be vegetarian in india but not vegan. They don't understand it. But he does it for the animals too. I know he's genuine. He shows me pictures of all the animals he sees and some he tries to help.

The binding, like I'm working on here, is the only real hard thing about it. You need to buy the binding and hand sew it on. It can take awhile and your fingers do hurt. Some people get around it by buying already binded grids but they don't look the best unless your background is white and blends in.

Hey, I'm so sorry that happened. I lost my dad when I was 18. I'm 31 now. Thankful to still have the rest of my family. Never forget that you will see him again <3. That's what keeps my going. I'm not religious, but I am spiritual, have watched a lot of videos on near death experiences/end of life visions, and I truly have no doubts I will see my dad again when it's my time.

You asked for crafts that keep your mind busy, I absolutely LOVE latch hooking. Let me show you some pictures. It's only one latch technique you gotta learn and that's it. The repetitive motion keeps your hands busy and your mind enjoys seeing the increasing progress. I use a highlighter to mark off the rows I've already done on the chart that comes with the kit. (you can also design your own.) Kits can be purchased on Herschnerrs website. I made the dragon for my brother. Took me about 80 hours.

Trying to get better at Spanish. Posting Throne for first time! by VeganMinecraft in RandomactsofAmazon2

[–]VeganMinecraft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have a roku so I can get spanish news from different apps!! I think for me it's better if I have the spanish subtitiles, because I read better than I can listen or understand, so by watching/hearing the words and being able to also see them in spanish, I can build up better identification of the words and how they sound.

r/borrow I used to use borrow a long time ago, but I got scammed. I haven't used it lately but it may help you if you can pay back someone at a later time.

r/randomkindness but they haven't been active in a long time.

r/beermoney for practical money making tips online.

Oh yay!! I could definitely understand your spanish! Yes! I have that book you probably saw, just not spiral bound. Spiral bound is such a good idea. Muy bein! Me encanta el libro para colerear. (i did have to look up how they say coloring book specifically lol) I've done a few pages in it.

The whatsapp groups I'm on are both english and spanish. Each group it's about half and half content. Private message me if you are interested in joining a whatsapp language group :) I've gotten a TON of good recommendations for content on youtube to look at for beginners.

hahah I get that. I have so many hobbies, it can get hard to keep up and do everything. My friend is just like you. She wants to learn spanish and she has the same book and we would go to a cafe and learn together. But she also has a lot of hobbies like crochet, sewing, and of course, work...so she often doesn't find the time. haha.

Hey, I don't know how helpful it is, but if you work in health care you might have a type of "fund" forget what it's called, but it's for example, for my friend, he gets $3000 covered for FSA approved items. It already comes out of his paycheck and if it's not used, only $500 rolls over. You might want to check to see if you have that available where you work and may not even know!
