Vegan day 139: STOGO (Ice Cream) NYC

Yes it’s been an East Village kind of week! One more stop before I go to work after having some vegan pizza at Viva Herbal Pizzeria – it was  onto STOGO for the first time! Stogo is an ice cream shop that keeps popping up in my Happy Cow App on my phone! The other night, while out and about in the East Village, I ran into the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop. This is what started my ice cream craving- the line was out the door. I peaked into the cute shop, looked around and wondered to myself… that’s nice BUT IS IT VEGAN? lol I don’t care if it’s gay.. lol I want vegan ice cream! I was so happy to find STOGO- like a kid who just chased down an ice cream truck after running 3 blocks! Did you ever wonder why the ice cream truck jingle has never changed? I think about things like that- I mean there are far catchier songs and jingles but it’s just untouched! It reminds me of singing “Happy Birthday”… why do some things never change? Change is good! lol


Unfortunately… or fortunately for me, there was no line! STOGO is gourmet organic dairy-free ice cream. The SALTED CARMEL PECAN is what I tested right away– immediately, I was like YES YES YES.. that’s the one I want! It was simply incredible. Honestly, it was even better than my favorite Baskin & Robbins Ice Cream flavors- pralines & cream and butter pecan! It was too good to be true, which reminds me that I wanted a six pack last year but all this sugar is giving me a belly. I just went to both of my doctors last week for routine check ups. I asked both if there was anything wrong with my stomach or my ovaries because I have this belly fat that won’t quit- it’s getting worse (a little bit lol). I heard those dreadful words that I cursed for 20 years- “diet and exercise”! I’m like “really.. cut me some slack”.. I lost 50 lbs– does it ever stop? No, not really! I mean could I get lipo to remove this belly fat and love handles? Sure.. but it kind of goes against everything I believe in for myself. I believe the body talks to us- 
mine is saying STOP EATING SUGAR! lol If she was wrong.. perhaps I would consider the LIPO to remove excess fat but the body is generally not wrong! Our only problem and mine personally is that we/ I don’t listen!


So this mean’s cutting my sweets in half or saying NO occasionally. 
“JUST SAY NO to drugs and alcohol” is something we repeatedly say to the kids. We don’t think of SUGAR as a drug but let me tell you something… IT IS! I will post some really informative video links below about sugar. 


So back to my vegan six pack which I want but am not close to lol- it’s going to take tightening up the diet and more core work at the gym.. and more abs!
Here are a few links that I will checking out and following!
