Quick post because I'm a very sleepy girl and ready for bed! Long night at work last night and tonight, and accounting exam this morning.
Today was my second day being a good little vegan!
So yesterday I had: a kiwi... cucumber, tomato, & onions with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper... celery with hummus... a banana... & Starbucks iced coffee (vegan style)
Today there was much more: a kiwi... an avocado... coffee... lots of celery and hummus (LOVE the roasted red pepper hummus!)... a banana... some pineapple... black beans... broccoli... & brussel sprouts.
I feel like I ate a lot today! I'm interested to see if there will be an effect on my weight. I *feel* like I'm eating more, but everything I'm eating is so much healthier and much of it is lower in calories. And maybe I just feel like I'm eating more because I'm eating more frequently, but just smaller portions? I'm not sure yet. The fats I am eating (avocados, for example) are good fats. So it'll be interesting to see if there is a change.
After this week, whether I decide to stick to vegan or not, I definitely plan on making a change and incorporating much more of these healthy things into my everyday diet. If I do eat meat, I am going to be very picky about it and it will be the good kind. I don't want any hormones, fillers, anything from those poor chickens and cows that are so mistreated... nope, none of that. And I'd like to steer clear of GMOs. Ick. Anyway, though... it'll be easier after this week to eat more "meal" type things, even if I do continue on with the whole vegan thang. This week I'm really trying to cleanse and detox from all of the carbs and processed crap that I usually consume, but next week I plan to at least incorporate some brown rice, pastas, more nuts, etc.
Who the hell would've thought I'd turn into a tree-hugging hippie at the age of 28?! Well maybe I wouldn't go that far, but I do make my own freaking laundry detergent. Haha. How 'bout that.
